Answers to recurring questions
What does site supervision (Service Phase 8) cover?
Site supervision is the eighth service phase under the German HOAI fee structure. I monitor the work on site against the design documents, the bill of quantities and the recognised rules of technology, manage schedules and costs and coordinate the trades. This includes the site log, defect tracking and the review of invoices and variations through to handover.
How does this differ from the site manager under German state building regulations?
These are two different roles. Site supervision under HOAI is a contractual service owed to the client and safeguards quality, schedules and costs. The site manager under state building regulations, by contrast, is a person designated under public law towards the building authority. Which role your project needs is something we clarify in the initial conversation.
Which regions do you work in?
Throughout Germany. The office is in Odenthal, North Rhine-Westphalia. How often I am on site depends on the size of the project and the construction phase and is agreed in advance.
Which documents do you need to get started?
The design and construction documents, the concluded contracts or bills of quantities, and the current schedule. If something is missing, that is not an obstacle – we start with what is available and add the rest as the project progresses.
How is the work invoiced?
After an initial conversation you receive an individual quotation. It is based on the scope of services and the duration of the project. I do not quote fixed lump sums in advance because both vary too much from project to project.
How quickly will I receive a reply?
Usually within 24 hours. You can reach me via the contact form or by email.
