Design supervision and management of repair and decoration works

The target implementation stage follows the stages of designing and approval of an interior solution at the Customer’s object. It is common practice that at this stage the most part of the works is performed by qualified construction and relative specialists. The final result of the project implementation depends on quality and timeliness of execution of their responsibilities. These circumstances give rise to another important function of an architect, namely monitoring of the process of repair and decoration works, timely resolution of any issues arising (which is especially relevant if the project includes dissembling works at the object), coordination of all the specialists involved in the project.

Designer supervision and management of repair and decoration works includes:

  1. My regular visits to the object with the purpose of supervision of the repair works (for provision of due compliance of the work results to the prepared design);
  2. Verification of the result of repair works against the design;
  3. Recommendations to the Customer or the representatives of the decoration team regarding the repair works being made in accordance with the project;
  4. Consultations of the Customer, representatives of the decoration team and suppliers on any issues related to current repair and decoration works;
  5. In some cases I make corrections and amendments to the design earlier prepared;
  6. Record of results of the designer supervision in free format or regular reports to the Customer via e-mail;
  7. Consultations and control over the actions of relative organizations (engineers, contractors);
  8. Consultations and control over the actions of material suppliers;
  9. Coordination and provision of effective mutual activities of constructors, contractors and relative organizations.

Designer supervision and management of repair and decoration works DOES NOT include:

  1. Technical supervision. My services do not include answering such questions as: Is it right diameter of the diameter of the rebar for reinforced screed? Is it right flooring technology? Are electricity and bath equipment correctly arranged? Etc. If necessary I may recommend a skilled specialist who will carry out technical supervision, timely detect mistakes and defaults of the constructors and give necessary recommendations on their correction. Professional technical supervision may be required in the following cases: large area of the object, structural features, replanning and its approval in accordance with the laws, if the quality of repair works is put in question or when the remote control over the repairmen is required.
  2. Acceptance of construction and decoration materials at the object (it is common practice that the materials are accepted by a construction site supervisor or a Customer).
  3. Acceptance of works made by relative organizations and contractors (Only a Customer may perform this function. I may accompany the Customer at the acceptance of works, point out the defaults or highlight other important issues which are worth attention but I may not be responsible for signing of closing documents).

The cost of designer supervision and management of repair and decoration works starts from 15,000 Russian rubles per month.

*Payment shall be made on a monthly basis, price depending on the area of the object, complexity and period of works.

**A unified contract for all-in-one support of the project is possible as agreed with the Customer, such support includes the services on complete set, designer supervision and management of repair and decoration works.
