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.
