What is construction management?
It is the technical supervision of the execution of a works project or installation, to ensure that it is carried out in accordance with the project, the licence and the applicable regulations. In building works, it is governed by the Building Planning Act (LOE), which defines the agents that make up the construction management team.
The agents of the construction management team
| Agent | Role |
|---|---|
| Works director | Directs the development of the works in their technical, aesthetic, urban-planning and environmental aspects, in accordance with the project and the licence. |
| Works execution manager | Directs the physical execution and controls, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the construction and the quality of what is built. |
| Health and safety coordinator | Safeguards the safety and health of the workers during the execution of the works. |
The works director and the works execution manager sign the commencement or setting-out record. Likewise, both sign the final works certificate and are responsible for the truthfulness and accuracy of that certificate.
When is it required?
Construction management is mandatory for building works subject to the LOE. In addition, many technical installations require construction management for their legalisation: for example, the higher-level refrigeration installations (RSIF) require construction management during execution, and other industrial installations need a technical management certificate for their commissioning.
Does your works project or installation need construction management?
We review your case and confirm whether your works project requires construction management and the certificates needed to legalise it and put it into service.
