Who manages daily site supervision and labour?

That’s one of the most important questions 📝 — because in Delhi NCR, a big part of interior projects going wrong comes from poor site supervision and uncoordinated labour teams. A good designer must clearly tell you who is on-site daily and how labour is managed.


✅ How It’s Usually Handled

1. Turnkey Firms (End-to-End Companies)

  • They have an in-house Project Manager / Site Supervisor.
  • That person is on-site daily (or very frequently) to coordinate carpenters, electricians, plumbers, painters, etc.
  • You get progress updates (photos, WhatsApp reports, milestone checklists).
  • Example: Firms like Livspace, MADS Creations, Amodini Systems, Synergy Interiors follow this model.

👉 Best for homeowners who don’t have time to visit daily.


2. Independent Designers / Studios

  • Designer usually visits site 2–3 times a week (not daily).
  • Daily supervision is often done by a contractor foreman or head carpenter.
  • Works fine if the scope is small, but bigger projects may face delays without a dedicated supervisor.

3. Design-Only Consultants

  • They prepare drawings and hand over to your contractor/labour team.
  • You (or someone from your family) must manage daily supervision.
  • Lowest cost, but highest workload for you.

⚡ Risks Without Proper Supervision

  • Electrician cuts false ceiling after it’s finished → rework & extra cost.
  • Wrong laminate / tile fitted → wasted material.
  • Labour not showing up = project delays.
  • No one to check quality → sloppy finish.

💡 Questions You Should Ask

  1. Do you provide a dedicated site supervisor / project manager?
  2. How often will you (the designer) personally visit the site?
  3. Who is responsible for daily labour coordination (carpenter, painter, electrician)?
  4. Will I receive weekly progress reports with photos?
  5. If labour makes a mistake, who bears the cost of correction?

✅ Pro Tip for Delhi NCR Homes

  • For 2BHK / 3BHK apartments, you can manage with a site supervisor visiting 3–4 times per week.
  • For large villas / bungalows, insist on a full-time project manager on site.
  • Always keep labour attendance + work log to avoid delays.

👉 Do you want me to draft a “Site Supervision Responsibility Checklist” (who does what: designer vs supervisor vs labour), so you can attach it to your contract and avoid blame games later?
