Obra Lisboa offers construction supervision within its engineering services. This focuses on checking execution against the design and addressing technical questions that arise as the work proceeds.
To frame your enquiry, tell us where the site is, how far the work has progressed and who is involved. Share the drawings and other available project documents, identifying the versions currently being used for construction.
The proposal should address the stages to be covered, the frequency of visits and the reference documents. It should also clarify how observations will be recorded and who will review and respond to the questions raised.
A proposed material change, a detail that differs from a drawing or a query between disciplines are examples of matters to discuss. How each is followed up depends on the available documents and the agreed service.
Can I enquire after construction has started?
Yes. Explain which work is complete, what is currently under way and which documents are available. This provides a basis for discussing the supervision that can be undertaken from that point.
Does supervision include organising the trades each day?
Identify that requirement separately. Checking the execution and organising teams, decisions and the sequence of work have different focuses. The scope of each service should be clear in the proposal.
