Wooden cladding

Projects involving wood often appear in the portfolios of our subcontractors. For a client from Belgium, the team focused this time on the execution of wooden cladding for a single-family home. The scope of work included insulation of the facade with PUR panels, double wood battens, and installation of a rainproof membrane. Furthermore, the team installed vertical wood cladding, window frame casing, and finished the plinth at the base of the cladding.

Facade work on a public building

This project in the Wallonia region included several key stages. The task of our subcontractors was not only to install wooden cladding but also to install facade panels. Prior to this, the team worked on insulating the building with PIR boards, installing a rainproof membrane, and, of course, preparing the substructure. Additionally, an aluminum windowsill was installed, along with an EPDM base.

Artificial slate roof

Our portfolio wouldn’t be complete without examples of roofing work. Below, you can see photos of the installation of an artificial slate roof on a residential building and garage. The specialists first removed the old roofing, replaced the decking, and reinforced the truss. In addition to PIR board insulation, they worked on the structure and cladding of the dormers, as well as installing gutters and downpipes. Thanks to KomFort subcontractors, the building was given a new artificial slate roof with skylights.

Wooden facade

A client commissioned our subcontractor team for work on another single-family home in Belgium.The scope of work included, among other things, insulation of the building with PUR foam and the installation of a rainproof membrane. Additionally, the substructure was prepared, which enabled the final installation of the wooden cladding. For a complete aesthetic effect, the team also finished the plinth using Trespa panels.

We can't wait for the projects that await us in 2025. We are continuously expanding our network of specialists, so if you're looking for work opportunities with experienced professionals from Europe, we look forward to hearing from you. Finding the right team and coordinating the collaboration will be our priority. See you on the construction site in 2025!

A construction project involves many aspects that influence the success of the entire endeavor. Collaboration with subcontractors can proceed much more smoothly when the management of their work is overseen by a coordinator. What are their responsibilities, and how does it work at KomFort Building in Europe? We invite you to read on!

Main responsibilities of the technical coordinator

As a company specializing in contract management for construction projects, one of our tasks is to coordinate the work of the subcontractor team. Although KomFort Building in Europe is not a party to the contract, we are committed to ensuring the smooth progress of the collaboration, which is facilitated by the support of a coordinator. The coordinator's role is to ensure the seamless execution of the construction contract, and their responsibilities include:

• organizing meetings,
• planning,
• maintaining constant contact and improving communication,
• quality control,
• assessing the progress of the construction,
• conveying information and reporting.

Verifying the competencies of construction specialists

The person in this role is involved from the early stages of the project, even before it begins. The coordinator participates in verifying the competencies of subcontracting companies that wish to collaborate with KomFort Building in Europe. By assessing their technical skills and previous projects, they can appropriately match the subcontractor to a specific project.

Evaluating the construction site before work begins

A thorough assessment of the construction site before work begins has a significant impact on the project's execution. The coordinator analyzes the project's complexity and determines the competencies the subcontractor should possess, taking into account factors such as the technical condition of the site and infrastructure, which will be crucial for organizing the team's work. Accurate verification allows for timely action, preventing often costly and time-consuming changes at later stages.

Supervising and reporting on work progress

Monitoring the progress of work is one of the key tasks of the coordinator. By systematically overseeing the advancements, they can easily detect potential irregularities or threats and ensure timely completion. The coordinator remains in constant communication, not only via phone but also by visiting construction sites to gather complete information about the project. The team at KomFort Building in Europe receives regular reports from the coordinator, providing ongoing insights into the construction site's status. This allows the team to manage the contract effectively and in real-time.

Communication between the client and subcontractors

Neglecting communication in a construction project can have disastrous consequences. Especially when there is no individual in the subcontractor team who can communicate fluently in a language understandable to the client, the role of the coordinator becomes indispensable. A continuous flow of information and translation support (when necessary) significantly enhances the quality of collaboration. The coordinator, acting as an intermediary between the subcontractor and the client, bears considerable responsibility.

Technical support for the team

In addition to interpersonal and managerial skills, the coordinator should primarily possess technical knowledge in construction. Without this expertise, they will be unable to realistically assess the time required to complete specific tasks, advise on equipment, or recommend execution techniques.

Efficient coordination of subcontractors at KomFort Building in Europe

A competent and experienced person in the role of construction coordinator ensures a much more comfortable collaboration for both subcontractors and clients. Their presence guarantees better work organization and higher quality. You can learn more about the scope of our services here.

Our subcontractors have the opportunity to work on truly interesting projects. We have prepared a selection of notable projects completed by our partners in the first half of the year to showcase the development opportunities awaiting you at KomFort Building in Europe.

Church roof renovation

Renovations are a type of project that demand experience and precision from the construction team. Working on religious buildings presents a challenge not only because of their cultural and historical significance but also due to their often complex structures.

One of our subcontractors was responsible for the complete renovation of a church roof in Belgium. The specialists first removed the old roofing and elements of the roof structure. They then replaced the damaged decking, prepared the underlayment, and installed a new natural slate covering. Additionally, their tasks included the installation and soldering of gutters, downspouts, and ventilation components.

Renovation of the facade and roof of residential buildings

This is yet another project where the results speak for themselves. Our subcontractors were tasked with creating a new facade and roof for buildings commissioned by a Belgian client. The team carried out tasks including the removal of old coverings, cladding, and gutters, as well as the replacement of damaged decking. They then proceeded with the installation of insulation and the new roofing, along with the installation of the facade cladding made of artificial slate. The scope of work also included finishing the chimneys and installing roof drainage elements.

Installation of a roof with Burgundy tiles

In our overview, we couldn't overlook the project involving Burgundy tiles. In addition, the team installed skylights, clad the sides of the dormers, and soldered copper gutters and downspouts. The subcontractor's team carried out the work on a villa-type residential building in the Flanders region.

Wooden facade work

Our specialists work not only with natural and artificial slate but also with other materials, such as wood. Below, you can see the results of their work on a construction site in Belgium for a new building.

The task of installing horizontal lattice cladding included, among other things: PUR insulation, double lathing with fir wood, and black vapor barrier foil. The team also handled the finishing work around all windows and doors.

Electrical work

In addition to construction teams specializing in roofs and facades, we also collaborate with experts in the field of electrical work. One such company recently worked on a commercial building. The specialists were responsible for distributing power and lighting cables, as well as installing lighting fixtures and sensors.

Slate roof installation

We conclude our overview with the completion of a project involving a synthetic slate roof on a residential building. The subcontractors, in addition to installing the new roofing and roof windows, also handled the installation of gutters, downspouts, and ventilation elements.

Modern technological solutions are permeating almost every industry, and construction is no exception. These advancements are increasingly being utilized not only on construction sites, where they enable faster and more precise work, but also in offices to support management processes. When is it worthwhile to introduce construction platforms and applications into your organization? Read on to find out!

Construction industry and management applications

The larger the project, the more aspects there are to organize and the more serious the consequences of potential errors. Due to the need for faster information flow, automation of certain tasks, and the consolidation of all key elements in one place, solutions have emerged that are now indispensable.

Importantly, implementing an application or system in a construction company doesn't necessarily mean a complete transformation. Technological tools can effectively support in fulfilling responsibilities, improve safety, all without introducing the chaos that many entrepreneurs fear.

So what can construction company software be used for?

• storing files in a secure location
• faster estimation
• communication with partners and teams
• monitoring progress of work
• financial analysis

Considering how many functions one application can combine, it's worth first identifying which aspect of the company's operations needs improvement the most. This will certainly help in choosing the most suitable solution from the wide range of products available on the market.

Platforms for finding jobs

Not only is construction project management increasingly entering the digital realm, but also the process of establishing partnerships, including searching for new contracts and partners. Platforms for publishing tenders and requests for proposals are designed to streamline operations for both clients and subcontractors.

Of course, the profile of the platform itself matters, whether it focuses solely on the construction industry or serves other businesses (or even private individuals) seeking professionals. Specialization of the platform and user verification contribute to increased security and more effective project execution.

What drives construction companies to invest more in their online presence and utilize web applications? Primarily, it's the ease of use, quick access to the program anytime and anywhere, automation of processes, and fast communication. To effectively compete in the market, it's essential to quickly familiarize oneself with technological advancements and harness their potential. The sooner these solutions are implemented, the better results can be achieved.

Modern strategies for construction companies

We are just beginning to witness the technological changes in construction. While many firms remain skeptical of such solutions, it's worthwhile to at least test these options. An example of an application that effectively showcases the capabilities of online platforms is Batieu - a program designed for contractors, developers, investors, architects, and companies like KomFort Building in Europe, which comprehensively support businesses in implementation of construction contracts.
