Road infrastructure contracts executed in Colombia frequently present delays, cost overruns, and quality deviations, often associated with weaknesses in planning, supervision, and contractual control processes. These situations affect the efficiency of project execution and compromise the achievement of public objectives in government contracting. To analyze the causes of these deviations in contracts 3547-2023 and 1962-2020 of the Instituto Nacional de Vías, and to identify opportunities for improvement in planning, monitoring, and control processes through the incorporation of project management best practices. The research was conducted under a qualitative approach through documentary analysis of bidding documents, schedules, technical reports, and supervision records, comparing contractual planning with the actual execution of the projects. The analysis revealed that the main deviations originate from insufficient scope planning, limited risk management, weaknesses in schedule control, and fragmented monitoring of the variables of time, cost, and quality. Based on these findings, five improvement proposals were formulated to strengthen contractual management: enhanced technical planning, formal implementation of risk management, optimization of schedule control, integrated project performance monitoring, and reinforcement of the preventive role of supervision, aiming to contribute to more efficient and anticipatory management in road infrastructure projects.

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-08-25) Hernández Cipagauta, Douglas Alexis; Buelvas Moya, Homer Armando; Universidad Santo Tomas
In construction projects in Santander, deficiencies in technical and administrative supervision mechanisms are evident, as reflected in increasingly frequent delays and budget overruns. This has steadily affected quality control, resource management, and the contractual fulfillment of social and community objectives. Strategies to address these issues include formulating proposals for monitoring and control reports for supervision (interventoría) in construction projects and integrating proven management tools and techniques from the literature. By focusing on sports projects that include specific regulatory components, useful particulars can be integrated to monitor municipal and state sports entities. This applies in particular to the municipality of Chinácota, North Santander, which seeks to promote the region's cultural development through the construction of sports venus. Consequently, by applying this proposal to the construction project of the Skating Rink (Patinódromo) in the municipality of Chinácota, critical technical components of the construction process are identified, and a documentary traceability analysis is conducted. This establishes the main technical control points through standardized administrative monitoring formats that optimize document management, progress control, and the verification of contractual compliance. The results indicate that the implementation of structured control tools strengthens the supervisory function, improves on-site decision-making, and mitigates risks associated with deviations from the contractual scope. This contributes to efficiency and transparency in the execution of sports infrastructure projects, such as the one analyzed.

This research analyzes the processes associated with cost management in the supervision and oversight of educational infrastructure projects contracted by municipalities in the department of Santander during the 2020–2025 period. Its objectives were to identify contractual deviations recorded in SECOP II, examine the technical, administrative, and financial factors associated with contractual modifications, and propose tools aimed at strengthening supervision and oversight. Methodologically, a descriptive documentary study was conducted based on the review of contractual records available in SECOP II. The search initially identified 18 records, which were subsequently screened to consolidate 15 unique files; of these, six contained sufficient information to quantify the variables established for the study. Initial and final contract values were compared and, when the information was available, contractual periods were also analyzed. The quantitative analysis was complemented by a qualitative review of contracts, preliminary studies, amendments, records, and supervision and oversight reports. The results showed a predominance of modifications related to contractual time periods over variations in contract value. Technical, administrative, and financial factors associated with situations arising from the pre-contractual stage through execution and contractual monitoring were also identified. The discussion highlighted the importance of analyzing cost and time jointly and strengthening preventive risk management. It is concluded that contractual management requires integrating time and cost monitoring, strengthening planning and risk management, and improving supervision and oversight through technical and budgetary review tools, physical-financial monitoring, and traceability of contractual modifications.
Gestión y control del uso de los elementos de protección personal en las obras de construcción desde la interventoría y supervisión
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-08-19) Sanabria Robles, Oscar Reinaldo; Peña Bastidas, Dayany Marcela; Gómez Arteta, Sergio Luis; Universidad Santo Tomás
The construction sector is recognized as one of the industries with the highest occupational risk levels due to the dynamic nature of its activities, the diversity of tasks, and the constantly changing work environments. In this context, Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) plays a fundamental role in preventing workplace accidents and occupational diseases. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) represents one of the last lines of defense against hazards that cannot be eliminated or adequately controlled through other measures. However, its effectiveness largely depends on proper use, continuous monitoring, and strict compliance by workers. In Colombia, current regulations, such as Decree 1072 of 2015 and Resolution 0312 of 2019, establish the mandatory implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SG-SST), which includes the proper management and control of PPE. Despite this regulatory framework, there are still significant gaps between compliance and actual practice on construction sites, particularly regarding the correct and consistent use of PPE. Within this framework, site supervision and technical auditing (interventoría) play a strategic role in ensuring compliance with safety regulations and promoting safe work practices. Their involvement is essential to monitor, control, and reinforce the proper use of PPE in real working conditions. This study aims to analyze the management and control of PPE usage in construction projects from the perspective of supervision and auditing, identifying existing weaknesses and proposing improvement strategies to strengthen safety culture and regulatory compliance. Ultimately, this research seeks to contribute to the reduction of occupational accidents in the construction sector by promoting more effective supervision practices and reinforcing the importance of PPE as a key element in worker protection. Keywords: Personal protective equipment (PPE), occupational health and safety, construction sector, supervision, technical auditing, risk prevention, safety management system.
Manual para el sistema de gestión en procedimientos de seguridad y salud en el trabajo por parte del contratista en una obra residencial regulada por la interventoría
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-08-10) Garcia Ruiz, Wilmer Andres; Caicedo Higuera, Nicolas Enrique; Gomez Arteta, Sergio Luis; Universidad Santo Tomás
This undergraduate thesis aims to develop a procedures manual for the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS), focused on strengthening its implementation by contractors in residential construction projects under the supervision of technical oversight (interventoría). This proposal arises from the need identified in the construction sector, where, despite formal compliance with current regulations, there are still significant weaknesses in the practical application of the system at the operational level. The research was conducted using a descriptive approach with an applied scope, allowing for the analysis of real conditions related to the implementation of the OHSMS and the formulation of a practical and technical solution tailored to the sector’s needs. Initially, a diagnostic assessment of the system was carried out, revealing an adequate documentary structure aligned with Colombian regulations, particularly Decree 1072 of 2015 and Resolution 0312 of 2019. However, important deficiencies were identified in its on-site execution, including limited application of procedures, insufficient safety inspections, inadequate worker training, and weak monitoring of unsafe conditions and behaviors. Based on these findings, technical, administrative, and operational guidelines were defined to bridge the gap between planning and execution. These guidelines established clear criteria for risk management, organizational structure, assignment of responsibilities, and standardization of on-site activities, ensuring both regulatory compliance and operational feasibility. As a main outcome, a procedures manual structured under the PDCA (Plan–Do–Check–Act) cycle was developed, integrating planning, execution, monitoring, and continuous improvement processes. The manual includes key procedures such as hazard identification and risk assessment,control of critical activities, personal protective equipment management, worker training, safety inspections, emergency management, and work permit systems. A distinctive contribution of this project is the integration of technical supervision (interventoría) as a transversal actor within the OHSMS, not only as a compliance verifier but also as an active participant in monitoring, control, and continuous improvement processes. This integration enhances system traceability, strengthens field supervision, and ensures effective compliance with established procedures. The results demonstrate that the implementation of a structured and operationally oriented manual significantly improves occupational risk management, reduces variability in task execution, strengthens safety culture, and supports evidence-based decision-making. In conclusion, this project provides a practical, applicable, and replicable tool that optimizes the implementation of the OHSMS in residential construction projects, aligning regulatory requirements with real working conditions. Furthermore, it contributes to strengthening supervision processes and reducing occupational accidents in the construction sector, representing a valuable contribution to workplace safety and preventive risk management. Keywords: risk management; safety procedures; continuous improvement; occupational risk prevention; PDCA cycle..

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-07-23) Calvo Cubides, Carlos Alberto; Joya Serpa, Christian Danilo; Sánchez Caballero, Óscar Andrés; Universidad Santo Tomás
This research analyzes the supervision report as an administrative monitoring and control tool in road infrastructure projects through a case study of a project carried out in the department of La Guajira, Colombia. The study arises from the fact that supervision reports may present limitations in their structure, frequency, and level of analysis, reducing their usefulness for project monitoring and decision-making during contract execution. A qualitative approach was adopted based on the documentary analysis of supervision reports, using evaluation matrices to characterize their content, examine monitoring and control mechanisms, and assess their contribution to administrative and contractual control. The results revealed a predominance of monthly reports with a descriptive approach, limited diversity in report types, and weaknesses related to meeting records, communications, risk management, and supporting documentation. Nevertheless, strengths were identified in budget execution monitoring and the traceability of physical and financial progress. The findings suggest that supervision reports can strengthen their contribution to administrative monitoring and control by adopting a more analytical structure that supports decision-making, preventive control, and transparency throughout project execution.

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-06-26) Chamorro Celis, Lucero Tatiana; Sánchez Quiceno, Allan Edward; Buelvas Moya, Homer Armando; Universidad Santo Tomás
This monograph aimed to implement a baseline procedure for applying the Earned Value Management (EVM) method as a monitoring and control tool in the project supervision of a risk mitigation project in Mocoa, Putumayo, Colombia. The study addresses the theoretical foundations of EVM, its integration with the PMBOK® Guide best practices, and its application to a case study involving the construction of Open Check Dam No. 2 on La Taruca Creek. The research was conducted using a quantitative, descriptive, ex post facto case study approach, based on the project's available scope, schedule, and cost information. The main EVM metrics were calculated, including Planned Value (PV), Earned Value (EV), Actual Cost (AC), as well as the Cost Performance Index (CPI), Schedule Performance Index (SPI), Cost Variance (CV), Schedule Variance (SV), Estimate at Completion (EAC), and To-Complete Performance Index (TCPI), enabling the evaluation of project performance throughout its different phases. The results showed that the application of EVM facilitates the early identification of cost and schedule deviations, strengthens decision-making during project supervision, and provides reliable forecasts of the project's future performance. In addition, a monitoring framework containing the main EVM parameters and performance indicators was developed to support the supervision of risk mitigation projects. It is concluded that the implementation of the Earned Value Management method is an effective alternative for integrating scope, schedule, and cost control, thereby improving the efficiency of infrastructure project supervision. Its application contributes to reducing risks, optimizing resources, and strengthening planning, monitoring, and proactive management in risk mitigation projects.

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-04-22) Bejarano Gil, Julissa; Mantilla Noguera, Leonardo; Universidad Santo Tomás
This undergraduate thesis analyzes, through a documentary study of the pre-contractual and contractual phases, the main failures identified in the road improvement project in the municipalities of Bahía Solano and Nuquí, in the department of Chocó. The research is based on the review of contracts, budgets, bidding documents, technical studies, resumes of proposed staff, progress reports, and observations made by the Comptroller General of the Republic. The results show significant weaknesses in the pre-contractual phase, including deficiencies in preliminary studies, inconsistencies in the official budget, and partial compliance with the required experience of the proposed personnel. These shortcomings were reflected in the contractual phase through suspensions, delays, inconsistencies in the economic proposal, changes in project location without proper formalization, and quality problems in the pavement and drainage works. The study concludes that deficiencies in the pre-contractual stage had a direct impact on execution, increasing costs, extending deadlines, and reducing the technical quality of the works. Finally, technical, legal, and administrative recommendations are proposed to strengthen planning, improve the role of supervision and inspection, and ensure greater transparency and efficiency in the execution of public infrastructure projects.
Propuesta de un documento alternativo de control técnico para la clasificación de suelos en diferentes tipos de obra de construcción geotécnica
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-04-22) Durán Romero, Jorge Mario; García Sáenz, Sandra Liliana; Buelvas Moya, Homer Armando; Universidad Santo Tomás
This document proposes an analysis and comparison of various soil classification systems applicable to specific geotechnical engineering typologies. The objective is to establish technical criteria that guide the selection of laboratory tests and the interpretation of results based on project requirements. A comprehensive documentary and comparative review of national and international academic, technical, and regulatory sources was conducted, including the USCS, AASHTO, INVÍAS, NTC, ASTM, BS 5930 / Eurocode 7, OSHA, and FAO/WRB systems, as well as criteria for borrow and fill materials. Through this review, fundamental tests for characterization were identified to determine the relevance of each system within specific construction contexts. A comparative matrix was developed to synthesize the characteristics, advantages, and limitations of the primary classification systems. Subsequently, an alternative study was proposed to correlate these systems with the most pertinent laboratory tests. Finally, a basic checklist was generated to serve as a guide for requesting, executing, and recording geotechnical tests in laboratory settings according to the type of project. The results enabled the establishment of equivalencies between methodologies, the determination of the relationship between classification and soil behavior, and the proposal of a practical verification tool to enhance traceability and standardization in laboratory practice. This study concludes that the selection of both the classification system and its associated tests must align with the specific type of construction, local site conditions, and the scope of the study to ensure that technical decisions remain consistent, verifiable, and compliant with current regulatory standards.
Validación de Proveedores de Interventoría de la Infraestructura Vial con relación a Contratos Bajo la Modalidad de Concurso de Méritos Aplicado a la Gobernación del Cesar, Vigencia 2022
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-03-25) Guzmán Garzón, Carlos Andrés; Rodríguez Santana, Andrés Camilo; Sánchez Caballero, Óscar Andrés; Universidad Santo Tomás
This thesis analyzes market behavior regarding road infrastructure supervision (interventoría) procurement processes conducted through Open Merit-Based Selection by the Government of Cesar (Colombia) during 2022. The general objective was to evaluate these processes based on information published in the Electronic Public Procurement System (SECOP II), verifying bidders' compliance with technical, legal, and financial requirements, analyzing the evaluation methodology employed, and identifying the most recurrent shortcomings throughout the procurement cycle. The methodology employed a mixed-methods (qualitative-quantitative), non-experimental, descriptive-evaluative, cross-sectional retrospective design. The quantitative component consisted of a systematic documentary review using an evaluation matrix specifically designed to verify eligibility and selection criteria for each process under study. The qualitative component was based on structured interviews conducted with professionals experienced in construction supervision and public procurement, aiming to understand operational dynamics, recurring bidder observations, and critical factors affecting fair competition among participants. Results show that only approximately half of the evaluated bidders fully met the established requirements. The most frequent shortcomings were concentrated in the accreditation of general experience and, particularly, specific experience, undermining merit comparability and increasing the likelihood of disputes and remediation processes. Interviews revealed recurring concerns regarding the clarity of bidding terms, consistency between engineering designs and contractual requirements, technical justification of budgets (including the multiplier factor and indirect cost structures), and perceived barriers that discourage new market entrants from participating in these processes. The discussion concludes that supervision procurement failures stem not solely from market weaknesses but from the absence of a sufficiently clear, traceable, and standardized evaluation framework capable of safeguarding the merit principle and institutional transparency. As its main contribution, the study proposes an improvement plan and a standardized evaluation tool aimed at strengthening traceability, reducing discretion, professionalizing the evaluation process, and enhancing both transparency and efficiency in the selection of supervision consultants.

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-04-13) Buitrago Rodriguez, Jennnifer Natalia; Duarte Saavedra, Leidy Andrea; Universidad Santo Tomás
Contracting processes in Colombia, regardless of their complexity, have revealed several shortcomings that are evident in project execution. These problems have prompted the Colombian State to strengthen mechanisms and regulate multiple aspects to ensure the proper and satisfactory fulfillment of requirements established from the pre-contractual stage. One of these key controls or mechanisms provided by law to regulate these processes is oversight, which is specialized monitoring at the technical, administrative, financial, accounting, and legal levels, in accordance with Article 83 of Law 1474 of 2011 (Congress of the Republic of Colombia, 2011). This oversight is aimed at ensuring the monitoring, quality, and fulfillment of projects and, in general, the development of the contractual process. The following work presents a literature review to analyze the functions of oversight, its effect and consequences in public procurement processes in Colombia, taking into account selection criteria to carry out the systematic review and thus identify its roles, in order to generate a list of structured evaluation criteria for the assignment by performance dimensions of appropriate oversight roles and its actions under efficient, timely and anticipated practices in public procurement processes in Colombia.
