The construction management can be either an Architect or a Quantity Surveyor. In addition, most building permits require both. The Architect, as construction manager, and the Quantity Surveyor, as construction execution manager. Finally, the construction manager (D.O.) and the construction execution manager (D.E.O.) form the project management (D.F.). In Pujadó Soler we are both Architects and Quantity Surveyors so we perform this service in an integral way.
What does the optional management do?
In a general and simplified way, the construction manager supervises the correct development of the work. It does so in technical, aesthetic, urban and environmental aspects. All aspects in accordance with the specifications defined in the project, in the building license and other mandatory authorizations, as well as what is stipulated in the contract, in order to ensure that it meets the proposed final objective.
While the site execution manager reviews the direction of the execution of the site materials. All this together with the qualitative and quantitative control of the construction and the quality of what has been built.
