Knowledge
What are the duties of a site manager (Bauleiter)?
The site manager makes sure the construction site runs according to the contract, schedule and rules – and that this can be proven.
Duties in everyday work
The exact scope depends on the contract and the structure of the company.
- Monitoring execution and schedules
- Coordinating crews and subcontractors
- Documentation: daily site reports (Bautagesberichte), minutes, photos
- Monitoring contractual obligations and Nachträge
- Clarifying disputed questions with the client
- Monitoring safety requirements (DGUV)
Where the time goes
A large part of the day goes on searching: where is the point you're looking for, who agreed what, what was left open after the meeting.
