If you are a professional, then no. But if you don’t have an external construction supervisor, please don’t complain about shoddy work and later damages. Or simply choose a reputable contractor right from the start…

Or choose a reputable provider directly…Even reputable providers make mistakes. And having a construction manager from the building company and an external construction supervisor means more eyes on the project than just two. For example, we have a very good provider, but I still use an external construction monitor.
We had a reputable contractor and an expert involved.
a) The contractor suggested it themselves. Obviously, they are not the ones supervising the craftsmen directly, and they have an external specialist who checks whether their quality standards are met.
b) Skilled tradespeople we know recommended it. You can tell on construction sites whether an expert is present or not. It is an investment in quality.

For the average homeowner, having an expert is accordingly less optional 🙂https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

hampshire30 Jun 2021 16:04During our first construction project, I had significantly less time available. The dotcom bubble had burst, and within five months during the year of the build, I lost my job three times. As a result, the ongoing job search took priority. Nevertheless, I still managed to visit the construction site 2-3 times a week. If a homeowner feels uncertain or faces too much logistical effort to visit the site regularly, hiring an expert can provide reassurance. This is an option, not a requirement.

As a result, the constant job search was my priority. Still, I managed to visit the construction site two to three times a week. If a homeowner is uncertain or finds visiting the site too logistically demanding, hiring an independent building inspector can be a reassuring solution. It is an option, not a requirement. I work in a crisis-proof job, at a hospital :-) A bit less paid than a controller, but rock-solid, unless a bomb goes off :-)
But regarding an external building supervisor: Whether a homeowner has time once or five times a week is irrelevant if they lack experience, as in my case. I can drive by, take a look, and even if something is done incorrectly, just go home :-)
