Many owners hire a supervising consultant without knowing exactly what they should deliver. These are the core responsibilities:
Before execution
- Review the contractor’s shop drawings, quality plan and schedule.
- Approve material samples before procurement.
During execution
- Inspect each item before it is covered or built upon (rebar before pouring, services before ceilings close).
- Flag deviations from drawings and specs and require correction.
- Track progress against schedule and warn early of any delay.
Reporting
A clear periodic report to the owner: what was done, what is late, which issues are open — with photos.
At handover
Prepare the final snag list and follow it to closure, and collect as-built drawings and warranties.
