Site Management

A PROJECT IS WHATEVER HAPPENED ON SITE.

MEEZ Mimarlık provides statutory site supervision, quantity and progress-payment control, subcontractor coordination and turnkey delivery in Trabzon. Even the best drawing becomes a different building if it is interpreted on site; our job is to keep the decision made on paper intact in the concrete.

Scope

What does it cover?

  • Statutory Site Supervision

    Taking on the site manager responsibility required by the building permit, and formally tracking that construction proceeds in line with the approved drawings and the regulations.

  • Quantity & Progress-Payment Control

    Measuring what has actually been built on site and comparing it against the progress payment — so what you pay for matches what was done.

  • Subcontractor Coordination

    Sequencing the trades from structural works through to finishes, so each team takes over without undoing the previous one’s work.

  • Design Compliance Inspection

    Making sure the decisions in the detailed drawings are built one-to-one on site — so the design intent is not lost in execution.

  • Material Selection & Supply Tracking

    Approved materials arriving on site correctly and on time, with any substitutions passing through review.

  • Turnkey Delivery

    If you wish, we run the whole process from design to handover under one roof — when design and construction sit in the same team, on-site surprises largely disappear.

Project status

In the classic "the architect draws, the contractor interprets" model, the decisions in the detailed drawings can be revised on site and the design intent is lost. Here design and construction sat in the same team, so the on-site consequence of every decision was known in advance: the solid-to-void ratio of the façade was developed together with the formwork plan and the build sequence, and by running quantity and progress-payment control weekly we tied the subcontractor sequence to the project schedule. The 850 m² building was delivered turnkey, faithful to the design intent, without requiring revisions on site.

FAQ

Common questions about the site

Is a site manager legally required?

For buildings subject to a permit, having a site manager is a legal requirement, and the building-permit process itself stipulates it. In practice the real question is not whether it is required, but whether the site manager actually turns up. We take on this role with regular site visits, not on paper.

Are site supervision and contracting the same thing?

No, they are different roles and confusing them gets expensive. The contractor is the party doing the work; the site manager is the technical authority who verifies that the work follows the approved drawings and the regulations. If the same party both builds and inspects, nobody is checking on your behalf.

Another office did the drawings — can you take over site management?

Yes. We first review the existing drawings and tell you up front about any risks we see in buildability or regulatory compliance. After that we can take over site supervision and coordination — we do not need to have produced the design.

What exactly does progress-payment control achieve?

A progress payment is the amount due for the work a contractor has done in a given period. Without control, you risk paying for work that was not done, or only partly done. We measure what is actually built on site and compare it against the progress-payment file; this is one of the points where construction budgets leak most.

How often do you visit the site?

Visit frequency depends on the stage of the works: it increases for irreversible operations such as formwork, reinforcement and concrete pours, and the rhythm changes during finishes. Rather than quoting a fixed number of days up front, we set out in the contract which construction stages we will be present for.
