Technical Supervision

Quality problems are easiest to fix while the building is still under construction. Our Technical Supervisors check that the works follow the approved design documentation, method statements and inspection and test plans, record defects in digital applications and track their rectification. At handover, investors can be confident that what they receive matches what they ordered.

Technical Supervision provides independent control of the technical design and the quality of construction during the preparation and construction phases, through to completion and handover. We check that the design documentation meets the investor’s requirements, and that the works are carried out in line with the design documentation, technical requirements, method statements and inspection and test plans. The investor receives ongoing expert oversight of whether the building is being constructed to the required quality and in accordance with the approved documentation.

The technical supervisor works closely with the investor, the project manager, the designers, the contractor and other specialists. They continuously monitor the works, identify defects and incomplete work, and check that these are properly rectified. We also take an active part in the handover inspections and the completion of the building.

Technical supervision is particularly suitable for:

Investors and developers delivering new construction projects
Property owners carrying out building refurbishments and modernization
Tenants and corporate clients carrying out fit-outs and interior alterations
Industrial, logistics and technically complex buildings
Projects where the investor requires independent control of the quality and correctness of the works

Key benefits of Technical Supervision:

Continuous control of quality and of the works’ compliance with the design documentation
Early identification of defects, incomplete work and deviations from the required solution
Monitoring compliance with method statements and required standards
Transparent recording of identified deficiencies and checks that they have been rectified
Expert support for the investor during handover and completion of the building
Lower risk of technical defects during the building’s future use, and therefore lower repair costs

Construction Quality Control from drawings to handover

The Technical Supervisor continuously reviews the design documentation and the construction and technical works. They check that the works comply with the current design documentation, method statements, and the inspection and test plan. We focus on workmanship, proper use of materials, and compliance with the required technical standards.

We systematically record identified defects, incomplete work and deviations using digital applications, classify them and track their rectification. Continuous supervision means that most problems can be caught during construction, when they are usually easier to fix than after completion.

In the final phase of the project, we actively participate in inspections and handover, verify that recorded defects and incomplete work have been rectified, and provide the investor with expert support during the building's takeover. The client gains greater assurance that the completed building matches the approved documentation and meets the required quality standards.

Project Management

Every construction project brings together investors, architects, designers, contractors and specialists, and someone has to keep them all moving in the same direction. Our Project Managers coordinate every participant from preparation to handover, manage the schedule, milestones and risks, and use Grinity’s own standardized methodology to give investors a clear view of where the project stands.

Cost Management

How much will the project really cost, and what will each change do to the final figure? Our Cost Managers answer these questions at every stage. We prepare and refine cost estimates, run and evaluate bids, check change orders, invoices and payment applications, and offer design-to-cost and bank monitoring, so the budget stays transparent from the first estimate to the final account.

MEP Advisory

Our MEP Advisory services brings in-house mechanical and electrical specialists into the project from day one. We help define the concept and technical brief, review the design, optimize solutions for cost, energy performance and maintenance, and support contractor selection. During construction, we supervise the MEP works and organize Testing & Commissioning before the systems go live.

Testing & Commissioning

Handover is the moment of truth for every building system. Our Testing & Commissioning team prepares the plan for functional and integrated systems tests, coordinates testing with the contractor and project team, and evaluates the results. Systems are verified both individually and under real operating scenarios, so the building is ready for reliable operation at handover.

Health & Safety Coordination and Management

When several contractors work on site at the same time, safety depends on coordination. As Health and Safety Coordinators, we prepare and update the health and safety plan, monitor risks arising from overlapping works, carry out regular site inspections and chair safety meetings. Investors get an ongoing picture of site safety and support in meeting their legal obligations.

Value Engineering

Value Engineering is not about cutting corners. It is about finding the solution that delivers the best overall value. We review the concept, use of space, materials, standards and construction methods, then develop alternatives and assess their impact on cost, schedule, quality and operation, giving investors a clear comparison of options before key decisions are made.

Program Management

For investors and corporate clients running several projects at once, the challenge is seeing the whole picture. Our Program Management sets up one framework, one set of processes and one reporting format across the entire portfolio. Consolidated data and clear dashboards show schedules, costs, risks and interdependencies at a glance, so management can set priorities with confidence.

Design Management

Good design starts with a clear brief. Our Design Managers help investors define their requirements, prepare documents such as a Design Brief or White Book, and coordinate the architect, designers and specialists throughout the design process. Systematic review and approval of each documentation stage keeps the design on schedule and limits costly changes once construction begins.

Design Check

Before documentation goes out to bid, it pays to have it checked by someone who did not draw it. Our independent Design Check reviews each design stage for technical accuracy, completeness and coordination between disciplines. We log comments, discuss them with the responsible designer and verify they are incorporated into the final issue, reducing the risk of surprises on site.

Shadow Design

The architect and designers create the design. We protect the investor’s interests. Our Shadow Design service brings an independent expert perspective while the design is being developed: we challenge technical solutions, flag risks and propose alternatives. This is especially valuable for international clients who need their own standards applied in local conditions.

Contract Advisory

A contract determines exactly what will be built, at what cost and by when. Our technical Contract Advisory brings the perspective of construction specialists to the work of the client’s legal team. From construction contracts and LoIs to lease agreements and SPAs, we make sure scope, quality, price, schedule, responsibilities and handover conditions are clearly defined.
