Recomendaciones administrativas basadas en referentes previos para el fortalecimiento de la labor de interventoría en proyectos de vivienda de interés social

Abstract

In this study, the primary objective is to explore the key administrative surveillance activities carried out by monitoring entities in civil engineering projects. This investigation is based on prior research pertaining to the subject matter, Supervision and Monitoring Manuals from reputable organizations within the country, and the professional expertise of the authors of this monograph. Furthermore, the aim is to identify the major challenges related to monitoring practices in low-income housing projects. As a result, a series of administrative recommendations are formulated to enhance and complement the responsibilities assigned to monitoring professionals or supervisors employed by government entities throughout the pre-construction, execution, and contract finalization stages of low-income housing construction. These recommendations consider various aspects within each stage, including document management and administration, legal considerations, financial aspects such as budget management and cost control, project scheduling, labor-related issues, occupational health and safety, regulatory compliance, and quality assurance. The ultimate goal is to provide a valuable support tool for professionals, particularly recent graduates, engaged in monitoring activities. This tool serves as a roadmap for the effective execution of tasks while adhering to the established contract scope, timelines, and costs. By doing so, it safeguards the interests of contracting entities, contractors, and third parties, mitigating the risks of financial losses and disciplinary sanctions.
