That’s a key clarity question 👍 — because daily site supervision is where most projects succeed or fail. Even the best design drawings can go wrong if no one checks carpenters, electricians, or plumbers on site.
✅ How Daily Site Supervision Is Usually Managed in Delhi NCR
1. Designer Themselves (Freelancers / Small Studios)
- The designer personally visits the site 2–3 times per week.
- Daily supervision may not happen — they rely on the carpenter/contractor in between.
- Works for small 2BHK/3BHK flats if you trust their team.
2. Dedicated Site Supervisor / Project Manager (Mid-to-Large Firms)
- Daily presence on site.
- Manages carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and reports progress.
- Sends you daily WhatsApp photos + weekly reports.
- Designer visits weekly for design alignment.
- Best for medium to large projects or if you can’t visit often.
3. Contractor-Managed (⚠️ Risky)
- In some cases, the labour contractor manages day-to-day supervision.
- Designer only comes for milestone checks.
- Often leads to miscommunication, delays, and mistakes.
💡 What You Should Ask
- Who will manage daily site supervision — designer, project manager, or contractor?
- How many times a week will the designer personally visit?
- Will I get daily WhatsApp photos/videos?
- If the supervisor finds issues, how do they escalate them?
- Is supervision cost included in your package or charged extra?
⚠️ Red Flags
- Designer says: “Our carpenter will manage the site” 🚩.
- No fixed supervisor assigned.
- Supervision only “on demand” (chargeable per visit).
✅ Pro Tip
- For a 2BHK/3BHK flat → supervisor daily + designer weekly is ideal.
- For larger villas/offices → ask for a full-time project manager on site.
- Always get supervision frequency written in the contract.
👉 Do you want me to draft a “Site Supervision Clause” (who supervises, frequency of visits, reporting format) that you can plug into your contract so there’s no confusion later?
