The construction of a project is a complex process in which professionals from different specialties are involved, with conflicting interests and requirements. The owner should be able to make decisions on many issues related to the construction, such as the time of its completion, the materials that will be used, the total cost of the construction and many more needs that will arise during the course of all this. procedure.
If the owner wants to avoid the complex process of construction of his project, having at his side a specialist as a consultant but also as a builder, then he can resort to his engineer. The above process is known as self-monitoring. It enables the owner to be the one who will have the final choice of decisions without being directly involved in the whole process.
In this case, the engineer will undertake to find the necessary workshops, which he has checked and trusted and after gathering the offers from each together with the owner they will choose the most suitable ones. Also, the engineer due to his specialization and experience will be the supervisor in the whole process of construction of the project, in order to avoid any mistakes.
Another important area that the engineer will undertake is the ordering of building materials. The good knowledge of the market in combination with the scientific training of the engineer, will help the owner to choose the appropriate materials for the construction, without leading to excessive costs or choice of materials that will not give him the desired result.
Finally, the engineer will undertake all non-technical issues of the construction, such as the approval of the relevant permits (sidewalk occupation permit, rubble bin installation permit, labor inspection, etc.), the completion of IKA DPAs for the payment of stamps, payments of workshops and suppliers, the receipt and control of materials at the construction site, etc.
