Good morning,
I have been a silent reader of this forum for some time and have already found many useful tips here.
As our project is becoming more concrete, we have decided to hire an independent expert to supervise the construction.
They propose the following on-site appointments (a basement is not planned):
1. Foundation/ Masonry/ Moisture barriers
2. Structural framework/ Roof structure/ Bracing
3. Roof covering/ Rough-in installations/ Windows
4. Interior finishing/ Plaster/ Vapor barrier/ Insulation
5. Installations/ Tiling/ Stairs/ …/ technical preliminary inspection
For each appointment, they allocate 3.5 hours, including a photo report. The cost per visit is 360 euros gross, including travel expenses.
The review of the construction specification will be billed separately based on effort.
Are these phases reasonably scheduled? Or are some unnecessary, or should there be more?
Thank you in advance for your answers and have a great weekend.

alter002910 Jun 2016 12:04I have asked an architect, whose colleague is a structural engineer, to carry out the construction supervision for me, and he has proposed the following appointments (we are building with a basement):
1st appointment: Before pouring the foundation slab
2nd appointment: Before pouring the ground floor ceiling slab
3rd appointment: During roofing and thermal insulation work
4th appointment: During window installation
5th appointment: After completion of non-load-bearing walls and installation of the front door
6th appointment: After applying the impact sound insulation in the screed area
7th appointment: Before handover of the house
This is just his suggestion. We can decide whether we want fewer or more appointments. He charges by the hour. He does not charge travel expenses since he is local. Everything will be documented as well. The price is significantly lower than yours. He is well known and respected in the area.
