How does the supervision engineer do a good job in on-site visa work?

During the on-site construction process, as long as our cost personnel from Party A and Party B take the on-site visa seriously and adhere to fairness, reasonableness, and Based on the principles of accuracy and integrity, on-site visa work can be done well, which lays the foundation for completion settlement. Below is the relevant content I compiled, welcome to read and refer to it!

1. Reasons for project visas

Due to the large scale of investment in construction projects, the continuous improvement of technical content, the long construction period, the many models and specifications of equipment and materials, and the rapid changes in prices, it is impossible to obtain a project contract Make complete predictions and agreements on situations that may occur during the entire construction period. During the implementation process, due to changes in subjective and objective conditions, such as changes in the owner’s funding, changes in the owner’s functional requirements, changes in construction conditions, etc., the entire construction process will also be affected. bring uncertainties. Therefore, construction site visas will occur throughout the project implementation process.

2. The role of construction site visa

1. As an important basis for project settlement

The main basis for project settlement is: construction contract, bidding documents, drawings, There are regulatory documents such as design changes, on-site visas, quotas, and stage data compilation. On-site visas record special expenses incurred at the construction site in written form, which are directly related to the vital interests of the owner and construction unit, and are an important basis for project settlement. Especially for some projects where the bidding price is guaranteed, adjustments to design changes and on-site visas are required during settlement. On-site visas are first-hand records of what happened on site.

2. As a basis for handling claims events

Through the analysis and review of on-site visas, it can be used as a basis for handling claims events, and based on the correct calculation of claim expenses and construction period .

3. Contents of construction site visa

The main contents of construction site visa include the following aspects:

(1) Technical visa that does not involve fees

Technical visas that do not involve fees are generally proposed by the contractor or the contractor based on the owner’s suggestions on the relevant construction technology, construction methods or adjustments to the original construction links during the project implementation process, and the owner or It only needs to be signed by the authorized personnel of the supervisory party.

(2) On-site economic visa

On-site economic visa generally includes:

1. Sporadic employment. The labor that occurs at the construction site and has nothing to do with the construction of the main project, such as transportation and dismantling labor beyond the fixed fee, etc.

2. Sporadic projects.

3. Temporary facilities addition project.

4. Concealed project visa.

5. Work hard. Economic losses to personnel and machinery caused by work stoppages other than those caused by the construction unit. Such as water outage, power outage, insufficient or untimely materials from the owner, modification of design drawings, etc.

6. Negotiate the price list of materials. The settlement information compilation stipulates that for materials that allow calculation of the bargaining price difference, the material price needs to be determined before construction.

7. Other expenses that require a visa.

(3) Construction period visa

Construction period visa includes: water and power outage visas; construction period delays caused by work stoppages other than those caused by the construction unit.

4. There are currently problems with on-site visas

Any supervision engineer who has been engaged in project investment control has this experience. The processing of on-site visas is the most controversial part of project construction. . There are more or less problems with the project visas we come across. The reasons for the problems are on the one hand the irregularities in the construction market and on the other hand the lack of attention paid by all parties involved in the construction (including owners, supervisors and construction units). Generally speaking, there are several problems in the following aspects:

1. The content of project visa is not clear in the project construction contract, or although it is clear, the specific operating regulations are not detailed, causing problems during the construction process. The basis for the visa is insufficient, and the scope and standards of the visa cannot be accurately grasped.

2. On-site project quantity estimating and visa personnel have little awareness of cost management and control. On-site managers do not pay attention to visas and lack awareness of investment control. Some construction units do not know which expenses require a visa and lack visa awareness.

Under normal circumstances, on-site visas require the signatures of the owner, supervisor, and construction unit to be effective. The absence of any party's visa is an irregular visa and cannot be used as the basis for settlement and claims.

3. The on-site visa personnel lack understanding of the composition of the fixed fee. The on-site visa personnel do not understand the composition of the fixed fee and have a unclear concept of the various fee components in the quota. Some visas also grant visas for on-site construction walls, construction buildings, and the cost of measures that should be considered by the construction party in the bid.

4. Lack of effective constraints on design. Some drawings are not detailed enough, the description of the method is not comprehensive enough, the design is too rough, the economic control requirements of the design link are not enough, and there is no multi-plan demonstration. Due to insufficient design management, there is a large number of construction projects done first and project contact sheets issued later. The data reflects that the designers only signed signatures and had no relevant opinions, which caused great trouble in the visa process.

5. For the convenience of construction or other reasons, the construction party arbitrarily modifies the original construction plan that has been approved by the supervising engineer and the owner’s on-site representative. The signing personnel will not be responsible for the increased labor, materials, and machinery. The class and others also signed. In addition, there are duplicate visas and cross visas for the same project content. Such visas are particularly common in projects such as earth excavation, obstacle removal, and demolition.

6. The on-site visa date does not match the actual date. There are strict time regulations for labor, materials, machinery shift prices and related policy adjustments. Some contractors adjust their visa time arbitrarily in order to obtain as much excess profit as possible.

7. False visa. For example, during the early construction of a housing project, due to the owner's financial reasons, the builder decided to cancel the construction of certain areas of the basement. The owner and the supervisor have verbally informed the builder to postpone the construction of certain parts of the basement until the design is changed. However, Afterwards, the construction team used the excuse that the design change date was postponed, saying that this part had been completed according to the original drawings, and required a visa for this part. If the on-site management personnel do not have certain professional ethics, it will inevitably cause losses to the owners' interests.

5. How does the supervision engineer control on-site visa clearance?

Controlling on-site visa clearance is an important task in supervision investment control. As an investment control engineer, you should do the following work well:

(1) Familiar with the contract. Take familiarity with the contract as the first step in investment control work, and pay special attention to the terms related to investment control. Because in many contracts, owners will agree on some special terms based on their own conditions and requirements. For example, one project requires that the contract and on-site visa must be signed by the director before it can take effect. An on-site visa without the signature of the director cannot be used as the basis for settlement and claims. . ? (2) Deal with it in time. On the one hand, due to the characteristics of project construction, many processes will be covered by the next process, such as foundation earthworks, and some will be dismantled during the construction process, such as temporary facilities. On the other hand, all parties involved in the construction may change.

(3) Perform duties conscientiously. Strictly controlling investments is a duty that controllers must perform. Leverage our expertise and rigorous on-site visa review to avoid visa violations. Investment control supervision engineers should have professional cost knowledge, be familiar with basic knowledge of quotas and relevant laws and regulations, and review whether the visa is reasonable, correct and realistic from a professional perspective.

6. How does the supervision engineer ensure the on-site visa review process?

In order to successfully review the visa form, the supervision engineer should do the following work well:

(1) Verification of visa contents.

The content of the visa must conform to the facts. Generally speaking, a visa is issued only if the content is not covered by the contract. The review should focus on whether the visa is necessary and whether there is a basis for the contract. This area needs to be reviewed on site, contracts, bidding documents and other information must be consulted, and analysis and verification must be done. For the work content that cannot be reviewed after the visa is issued, it is necessary to use video, photography and other means to keep records;

(2) Review of the visa form.

The visa form must clearly describe the visa matters, and have detailed formulas for the calculation process of the engineering quantities. If drawings are necessary, drawings must be made. If calculations need to be based on measurement data, measurement records must be attached. Meeting minutes should be accompanied by meeting minutes, etc. All original evidence must be complete and must not be altered.

The review will focus on whether the filling is complete, complete, true and objective;

(3) Review of the number of visas.

The amount of the visa project must be reviewed and calculated, and the calculation formula and method must meet the relevant requirements. For example, earthwork can be calculated according to the section method, square grid method, etc. If there is a cross section, it should be calculated based on the cross section. For on-site measurements, calculations must be made based on on-site measurement records. For measurement review, the calculation shall be based on the measurement review record. If the actual records are recorded, calculations must be made based on the original labor/shift records. The review in this area focuses on whether the calculation basis is sufficient, whether the calculation process is detailed, and whether the calculation results are correct;

(4) Synchronization of visas for relevant parties.

Nowadays, in many projects, the owners, supervisors, and even designers are involved in the visa process. When applying for a visa, the supervising engineer must have a mutual understanding with all parties, and it is best to be able to apply for the visa together. Avoid the supervisor signing the report to the owner or designer, and then think it is not true or have different opinions. In addition, simultaneous processing can also do a more accurate job of auditing and controlling visa forms;

(5) File the information for future reference.

A copy of the signed list must be kept for future reference in case the contractor makes changes. Now that I have mastered the original document, I can be confident and confident. ;
