Construction supervision
Construction supervision is a key oversight role on the building site that protects the investor's interests. It ensures the project meets quality and safety standards, complies with the design, permits and contract, and that the investor only pays for work actually completed and correctly priced. Supervision also includes reviewing and balancing the contract between client and contractor.
