Work management

At Dabster, we offer a complete Works Management service to ensure the correct execution of construction work in all its phases, from conception to final construction. The Works Management is essential for controlling the accuracy and quality of the work, responding directly to the Client to ensure that the activities are carried out in line with the contract, the design drawings and the relevant regulations.

Before the start of the work, it is possible to appoint a Works Director. Depending on the size, type and complexity of the project, this figure may be supported by one or more assistants and/or Operational Works Directors (DLO) specialized for specific works.

The Director of Works has the task of ensuring the correct execution of the works, enforcing the provisions of the contract and supervising the entire construction process. This role is mandatory for projects that require a building title or a declaration of certification pursuant to Presidential Decree no. 380 of 6 June 2001, for all structural works subject to Technical Standards for Construction.

In this phase, the Works Manager oversees the work of the contractor and its subcontractors, ensuring that the works are carried out in accordance with contractual requirements.
Although daily presence at the construction site is not necessary, the Director must constantly monitor the progress of the work, carrying out periodic visits and verifying that the materials and techniques comply with the expected standards.

His main responsibilities include:

Coordinate and supervise the activity of the assistants to the Works Management.
Manage technical and economic aspects with the contractor and the client.
Make sure that the materials used are suitable and in accordance with the project.
Promptly report to the client any problem that may compromise the implementation of the project.
Convoke operational meetings with all parties involved, including Security Coordinator and other technicians.
Verify the documentation required by law and contractual obligations.
Issue instructions and change orders to resolve problems or make improvements to the project.
Evaluate project changes and oversee the payment of down payment.
At the end of the work, draw up the Work End Report and the Certificate of Regular Execution.

In the case of specialized interventions (electrical, mechanical, firefighting, structures, acoustics, etc.), the Specialized Works Department (DLO) is a fundamental technical support. Although not as mandatory as the General Works Management, the figure of the Specialized Works Director is increasingly used to ensure that technical works are carried out correctly and smoothly.

The Director of Specialized Works (DLO) is responsible for supervising and coordinating activities related to plants and other technical aspects, working closely with the General Works Department. His primary responsibilities include:

Supervise the execution of plant works, ensuring that they meet technical requirements.
Verify that the materials used comply with contractual specifications and technical regulations.
Report to the client any circumstance that may affect the correct execution of the works.
Manage contacts with service providers and support the General Works Department in all operational phases.
Ensure that specialized work is carried out in a workmanlike manner, without defects and in line with contractual requirements.

The DLO is a key reference point for the supervision of plant works and technical interventions, helping to ensure the quality and compliance of the proposed solutions.

Documentation and Control

Managing administrative and accounting documentation is another crucial aspect of the process. The Works Department draws up and checks the following documents:

Work journal: daily recording of activities on site.
Measurement booklets: documentation of processing and supplies.
Accounting register and summary: economic management and cost control.
Work progress statements and payment certificates: monitoring project progress and issuing payments.
Final account: final report that certifies the completion of the work and justifies the final payment to the company.

At the end of the work, the Works Department carries out a final inspection to verify that all the activities have been completed correctly and in line with the contracts. Finally, the Certificate of Regular Execution is issued, which marks the official conclusion of the project.
