BAULEITER14 Dec 2009 17:12Hello dear forum,
If I understand correctly, the term "Bauleiter" is not legally protected, meaning anyone can call themselves that.
A few questions:
1. How can I distinguish a competent Bauleiter from an incompetent one?
2. Who is liable if mistakes are discovered later that the Bauleiter did not identify?
3. When building a single-family house with a lot of self-performed work during the shell construction phase, what is the best approach regarding inspection and site management?
Thank you in advance.

The state building regulations refer to a site manager in connection with the client’s responsibilities.
Instead, HOAI regulates construction monitoring / site supervision or site management.
Regarding your questions:
1. Engineers should be competent.
2. Check whether the person is registered with the relevant chamber or association, as this usually means they have insurance (or ask to see proof of insurance).
3. For projects with a lot of self-contribution, the new builder/architect collaborative concepts are not a bad idea. Although I only started doing this around 2008, the results have been impressive. The budget was maintained, even allowing for more to be realized, but the project took longer overall.
It is helpful if you can talk to other builders who have experience with this. Practical experience is ultimately what counts!
Best regards
