Hello dear forum,

Although this topic may have been discussed a few times already, I haven’t found a clear answer to my question here, so I wanted to create this thread.

We are currently building a single-family house. My architect recently informed me that we need to hire a Safety and Health Protection Coordinator. The first quotes I received are around 2000 Euros net, which I would prefer to save if possible.

What are your experiences? Is such a coordinator really required?

Thanks! Best regards,
Bastian

@micric3 When building with a general contractor (GC), the whole topic becomes irrelevant—since the construction company handles coordination and so on. This is only relevant when building with an architect.

Where is the additional work for the homeowner? It clearly states that the contractor (Town & Country) provides that.

That is correct and I overlooked it.
