Construction management Vienna that spots the mistake before it is covered up.

Construction management Vienna: from the construction company that does the work — not from an agent.

Construction management Vienna: construction management in Vienna costs 2.5 to 5 percent of the construction sum or 75 to 105 euros per hour. If we carry out the project ourselves, it is included in the fixed price. As local site supervision, we also work for clients who have awarded the work themselves.

Construction management in Vienna costs 2.5 to 5% of the construction sum, or €75 to €105 by the hour. For the renovation of an apartment building with a construction sum of €850,000, that is around €29,750, or about €620 per construction week. Experience shows that checked measurements and rejected extra charges save 2 to 5% of the construction sum. The real value, however, lies in mistakes being noticed before they are covered up: a missing edge insulation strip costs 40 cents per linear metre – after the screed it can no longer be reached. This also includes recording the condition of neighbouring properties before construction starts with a condition survey.

Site supervision usually pays for itself through checked measurements and rejected extra charges. The real value, however, lies elsewhere: someone is responsible if something is wrong – and notices it before it is covered up.

Screed covered too earlyafter two to six monthscompletely new floor covering, €45–110/m²
Waterproofing in the bathroom missingat the neighbour'sstripping out the bathroom, €9,800–22,000

Measurement billed uncheckednot at all5–15% overpaid
Extra charge billed after the factwith the final invoicedispute without evidence
No acceptance reportin the event of a warranty claimburden of proof lies with the client
The most expensive construction defects are not the visible ones, but the covered-up ones. A missing edge insulation strip costs 40 cents per linear metre – after the screed it can no longer be reached, and the impact sound insulation is gone. That is exactly why someone walks through before closing up.

What does construction management at Skyline Bau mean?

There are two things that are often confused, and the distinction is important:

Construction management of the executing company

This is what we do: we manage our own site. We coordinate the trades, steer the schedule, check the quality of our work and are your contact. This construction management is part of carrying out the construction.

Local site supervision (statutory)

This is what we do not do: statutory local site supervision for projects requiring a permit is the responsibility of an authorised chartered engineer or licensed master builder. Where needed, we bring in this independent control function via a partner.

In short: we carry out the work and manage our site. The official supervisory control lies with the persons authorised to do it — cleanly separated, as it should be.

what we steer for you

Coordination of trades

We align the trades involved — our own and the licensed partners for regulated work. The right sequence prevents idle time and duplicated work.

Schedule & sequence

A realistic construction schedule with the dependencies between the trades, continuously updated. You know what happens when.

Quality & control

We check our work against the agreed standards and the norm. Defects are identified and remedied before they are covered up.

Costs & communication

One fixed price, one contact, clear communication. Anything additional is discussed before it is commissioned — no surprises.

Construction management — in all 23 districts and the surrounding area

We manage sites throughout Vienna, as well as in Klosterneuburg and the surrounding area of Lower Austria.

why one contact makes the difference

The most common problem in construction is not a lack of skill, but a lack of coordination. When five companies work independently, each blames the other, deadlines are missed and nobody feels responsible. This is exactly what construction management from a single source solves:

  • One responsibility — we are the contractual partner for the execution. No finger-pointing between companies.
  • One interface — you talk to us, not to six trades. That saves time and nerves.
  • One sequence — the trades interlock in the right order instead of blocking each other.
  • One price — fixed price to ÖNORM B 2110 for the agreed work, instead of many individual invoices without an overview.

the process

01 Initial consultation

Your project, scope, framework, dates. What requires a permit, what needs which authorisation? Free of charge.

02 Planning & quote

Bill of quantities, construction schedule, fixed price. Clearly separated: what we carry out and what partners take over.

03 Preparation

Allocate trades, engage licensed partners, set up the site, provide permits.

04 Execution & steering

We carry out and coordinate. Continuous control of schedule, quality and costs.

05 Acceptance & handover

Joint acceptance, defects remedied, documentation, handover.

Why Skyline Bau for your construction management in Vienna

We are the executing construction company and manage our sites ourselves. Unlike a pure consultancy, we are in the same boat as the execution: we do not just coordinate, we deliver the result and are liable for it. Regulated and structural master-builder tasks are handled by licensed master-builder partners under § 94 no. 5 GewO — cleanly separated and traceable.

  • Execution and management from a single source, with one responsibility.
  • Fixed price to ÖNORM B 2110, in writing.
  • Licensed partners for regulated trades and structural analysis, clearly identified.
  • One contact for the whole project.
  • €3 million construction liability insurance.

How to recognise a reputable contractor

1. Is there a clean separation?

Executing construction management and statutory site supervision are two different things. A reputable provider names what it may do itself and what an authorised partner does.

2. Who does the regulated trades?

Electrics, plumbing, structural analysis — regulated. Ask to be told the licensed partners.

3. Is there a real construction schedule?

With the dependencies between the trades, not just a target date. Without a sequence, management cannot work.

4. Is responsibility clear?

One contractual partner who is liable for the execution — instead of loose coordination without responsibility.

5. Is anything additional discussed beforehand?

Extra charges only for additionally commissioned work, agreed in advance. No surprise invoices.

6. Warranty named correctly

Statutory 3 years under § 933 ABGB on the work carried out.

Construction management and permit requirements in Vienna

For projects requiring a permit, the Building Code stipulates that local site supervision by an authorised person — chartered engineer or licensed master builder — must be appointed. This function is independent of the execution and is not taken over by the executing company itself. We tell you what your project needs and bring in the appropriate authorised partner. This way control stays where it belongs, and execution stays with us.

When you do not need us

If you are looking for independent control of your project that is separate from execution — i.e. someone who only checks without building themselves — a chartered engineer or a master builder in a purely supervisory role is the right choice. We are the right choice if you want a construction company that carries out the work and manages its own site professionally.

what you should know

So that you know exactly what to expect, we answer the most important questions here — honestly and from the practice of a building contractor that does the work itself.

If you are planning construction management in Vienna, Skyline Bau is the right place: construction management in Vienna at a fixed price, professional and from a single source.

What does construction management do?

Construction management coordinates and monitors a construction project: it steers the trades, controls schedule, quality and costs, checks the execution and is the contact for everyone involved. Good construction management ensures that the companies interlock and the project stays within its framework.

Why is professional construction management important?

Without coordination, the whole chain quickly stalls when several trades are involved: dates shift, interfaces become a problem, costs get out of hand. Construction management holds everything together — one responsible person who keeps the overview and intervenes before problems arise.

Do you also take on construction management for individual projects?

As the executing construction company, we provide construction management for our projects. A site manager steers the trades so that you have one contact and do not have to take care of coordination yourself.

What does construction management cost in Vienna?

The costs depend on project size, duration and scope. For our projects, construction management is part of the overall service from a single source. After a site visit you receive a binding fixed-price offer.

Construction planning in Vienna and construction management: where one ends and the other begins

Anyone searching for construction planning in Vienna usually means two things at once: someone who draws and submits plans, and someone who then makes sure on site that they are implemented. These are two separate services. Planning ranges from the design through the planning application to MA 37 to the construction drawings with details and quantities. It is prepared by authorised planners – architects, chartered engineers or master builders. Skyline Bau does not plan itself, but brings in authorised partners for this part or takes over an existing plan.

Construction management begins where the plans reach the site. Its first step is a buildability check: do dimensions and existing building match, are openings, service routes and connections unambiguous, are details missing that would only be noticed on site? Every gap not closed here comes back later as an extra charge. Experience shows that most extra costs arise not from bad tradespeople, but from plans that leave a question open. For planning, structural analysis, planning application and local site supervision on projects requiring a permit, we calculate a guide value of 8 to 14% of the construction sum; construction management itself is not included in this. If planning and execution are to come from a single source, a general contractor is the right way.

Site safety coordinator and construction management are not the same

If several companies work on a site at the same time or one after the other, the Construction Work Coordination Act (BauKG) requires the client to appoint a planning coordinator and a site safety coordinator. This role concerns occupational safety: safety and health protection plan, coordination of hazards between the trades, documentation for later work on the building. Construction management, on the other hand, steers schedule, quality and costs. Both tasks can lie with the same person, but do not have to – the only important thing is that both are filled, because otherwise responsibility remains with the client. Anyone awarding several construction management contracts in parallel, for example separately for shell and fit-out, should also clearly assign coordination to one party.

Frequently asked questions about construction management in Vienna

What does construction management at Skyline Bau do?

We manage our own site: we coordinate the trades, steer the schedule, check the quality of our work and are your single contact. This is the construction management of the executing company — to be distinguished from statutory local site supervision.

What is the difference between construction management and local site supervision?

The construction management of the executing company steers its own site. Local site supervision is an independent control function which, for buildings requiring a permit, is the responsibility of an authorised chartered engineer or licensed master builder. We carry out and manage; official supervision lies with the authorised persons.

Do you take on local site supervision?

Not as an official control function — that belongs to an authorised chartered engineer or master builder and is independent of the execution. We bring in the appropriate authorised partner if your project requires it, and tell you in advance what is needed.

Who coordinates the regulated trades?

We do, as construction management, but regulated work such as electrics under § 94 no. 16, plumbing under § 94 no. 25 and structural analysis under § 94 no. 5 GewO is carried out by licensed partner firms. We steer them and align their work with the rest of the sequence.

Why is one contact better than several companies?

Because the most common construction problem is lack of coordination. If several companies work independently, deadlines are missed and nobody is responsible. With construction management from a single source, there is one responsibility, one interface and one sequence in which the trades interlock.

Construction management in Vienna means for us: one contact, one contract, one fair price. That is how construction management in Vienna runs without surprises.

What does construction management cost in Vienna?

With us, construction management is part of the construction work and included in the fixed price to ÖNORM B 2110, not a separately sold consultancy. The price depends on the scope of the project. What exactly is included is stated in the bill of quantities.

Do you build yourselves or do you only coordinate?

Both. We are the executing construction company and carry out the work with our own people within the scope of our trade licences. At the same time, we coordinate the licensed partners for regulated trades. Unlike a pure consultancy, we deliver the result and are liable for it.

What is a construction schedule?

A schedule that defines which trade works when and which steps depend on each other. It prevents trades from blocking each other or finished work from being torn open again. A realistic construction schedule is the backbone of every functioning construction management.

When does a project need local site supervision?

For projects requiring a permit, the Building Code prescribes local site supervision by an authorised person. For smaller works not requiring a permit, this is not necessary. What your specific project needs, we clarify in the initial consultation.

Can you take over my already planned project?

Yes, we can join a project with existing planning and take over execution including construction management. We check the planning, clarify open points and the necessary authorisations and then implement it. The transition is documented properly.

Who is liable for construction defects?

For the work we carry out, we are liable within the statutory warranty of 3 years under § 933 ABGB. Because we offer execution and management from a single source, there is no finger-pointing between companies — responsibility for our work is clear.

What happens in case of delays?

A realistic construction schedule cushions a lot. If unforeseeable delays occur — supply bottlenecks, discoveries in old buildings, weather — we inform you and adjust the sequence. Because we steer centrally, we can reschedule instead of the site standing still.

In construction management in Vienna, experience and clean execution count. For construction management throughout Vienna and the surrounding area, you receive a transparent fixed-price offer.

Is construction management the same as a general contractor?

They are close. As an executing construction company with construction management, we take over execution and coordination of the trades from a single source — in substance the role expected of a general contractor, with a clear separation between our own work and licensed partners.

Can you also manage only individual trades?

Our model is execution with construction management from a single source. We do not offer pure coordination separate from execution without our own construction work — for that, a chartered engineer or a master builder in a supervisory role would be the right choice. We manage the sites we carry out.

How often am I involved as the client?

As often as you like. There are fixed coordination points — offer, start of construction, interim steps, acceptance — and beyond that we are your contact for questions. You do not have to take care of coordination, but remain informed at all times and have a say.

What is important at acceptance?

At the joint acceptance, the work is checked against what was agreed, and defects are recorded and remedied. Acceptance is legally significant because it triggers deadlines. We document it properly and hand over the documents — nothing is swept under the carpet.

Can you obtain permits?

We tell you which permits and notifications your project needs and help with the preparation. The submitting role for projects requiring a permit often lies with an authorised planner or chartered engineer. We coordinate this and bring in the right partners.

What does fixed price under ÖNORM B 2110 mean?

ÖNORM B 2110 is the Austrian standard for construction contracts. A fixed price on this basis means a clearly defined scope of work at an agreed price, with a regulated procedure for changes. This creates reliability — you know what you are paying and what for.

Can you help with a dispute with other companies?

If we have construction management and execution, this dispute does not arise in the first place, because responsibility is bundled with us. For projects where several companies have already been commissioned independently, construction management after the fact is more difficult — here we advise on what makes sense.

If you are planning construction management in Vienna, Skyline Bau is the right place: construction management in Vienna at a fixed price, professional and from a single source.

How long does construction management last?

As long as the construction project. Construction management accompanies the project from the start of construction to acceptance and handover. The time frame results from the construction schedule, which we draw up in advance and keep updated. You have a realistic horizon from the start.

Do you also do project control for developers?

For commercial clients and property managers, we take over execution including construction management of several trades. Pure project control separate from execution without our own construction work is not our model — we are the construction company that implements and coordinates in the process.

What distinguishes you from a construction consultant?

A construction consultant advises but does not build. We carry out the work and manage the site — we are in the same boat as the result and are liable for our work. That is the difference between someone who gives recommendations and someone who delivers.

Do I get documentation?

Yes. At handover you receive the relevant documentation — acceptance report, certificates, documents on installed products and their guarantees. For coordinated trades, the partners' certificates are included. This way you have everything important about your project in hand.

Can I award construction management and execution separately?

With us they belong together — we manage the sites we carry out. Separating independent supervision from execution is exactly the role of local site supervision, which for buildings requiring a permit is taken on by an authorised chartered engineer or master builder anyway.

What is the most common expensive surprise without construction management?

That trades block each other or finished work is torn open again because the sequence was wrong — and in the end nobody is responsible. This is exactly what construction management from a single source prevents: one sequence, one responsibility, no expensive interfaces between companies.

What does construction management cost?
As local site supervision 2.5 to 5% of the construction sum, by the hour €75 to €105, as an individual inspection with report €380 to €950 per visit. If we carry out the project ourselves, construction management is included in the fixed price and costs nothing extra.
Does construction management pay off?
For the renovation of an apartment building with a construction sum of €850,000, site supervision costs around €29,750, or about €620 per construction week. Experience shows that checked measurements and rejected extra charges save 2 to 5% of the construction sum. The real value, however, lies in mistakes being noticed before they are covered up.
What does a site manager do every day?
Walk the site, photograph progress, note open points, coordinate handovers between the trades, align material deliveries, check quality and intervene where something is not going to plan. There is a photo report every week.
How often is the site manager on site?
On an active site daily, in quiet phases two to three times a week. For critical work – waterproofing, screed, openings, rough-in – always before closing up. That is the point at which control is still of use.
What is a measurement and why is it checked?
Determining the quantities actually carried out as the basis for billing, according to the rules of the respective ÖNORM. Experience shows that anyone who does not check measurements pays 5 to 15% too much – not on purpose, but because deduction areas and surcharges can easily be calculated generously.
How are extra charges checked?
Every extra charge is submitted in writing before execution, with justification, quantity and price. Work only starts after approval. Extra charges that appear after the fact in the final invoice cannot be checked – and are usually the subject of disputes.
What is a construction diary?
The daily record of weather, companies present, work carried out, deliveries, obstructions and instructions. In delay disputes it is the most important evidence – without a construction diary, it is one word against another.
What documentation do I receive?
Weekly photo reports, construction diary, measurement sheets, checked invoices, measurement and test reports per trade, photos of all pipes before closing up, snagging lists with deadlines and the acceptance report to ÖNORM B 2110.
Why are pipes photographed?
Because in five years someone will drill into this wall. Every pipe is photographed with its distance to the nearest edge before filling or tiling. These photos are often the only information about how the flat is built inside.
What is checked before closing up?
Waterproofing in wet areas to ÖNORM B 3407, edge insulation strips for the screed, connection sealing tapes in drywall, vapour barrier on sloping ceilings, anchor pattern for insulation systems, pressure test for plumbing, circuit allocation for electrics.
What if a trade does defective work?
The defect is documented, objected to in writing and given a deadline for remedy. If it is not remedied, substitute performance or retention apply. What matters is that the defect is recorded promptly and with photos – not only at the final acceptance.
How does acceptance work?
Joint inspection, snagging list with concrete descriptions and deadlines, acceptance report to ÖNORM B 2110. With acceptance, the warranty period begins and the risk passes – which is why acceptance is never given as a lump-sum "subject to all rights", but every defect is named specifically.
What is a performance retention?
A portion of the final payment withheld until acceptance free of defects, usually 3 to 5%. After that, a warranty retention can be agreed for the warranty period. Both are regulated in ÖNORM B 2110 and are your most important safeguard.
Do you take on construction management without execution?
Yes, as local site supervision for clients who have awarded the work themselves or work with another company. 2.5 to 5% of the construction sum or by the hour. We then say openly when we see a defect – even if that is unpleasant for the contractor.
Can you take over an ongoing site?
Yes. The first step is a survey with photo documentation of the current state, so that it is clear what was there before. With components already closed up, the assessment is limited – we say so beforehand instead of taking responsibility for what cannot be seen.
Do you support the takeover from the developer?
Yes, €650 to €1,800 depending on the size of the property. We walk through with you, check against the construction and fit-out specification, record defects and word the list so that it holds up. This one inspection decides your claims.
Do I need construction management for a flat renovation?
If you commission us, it is included. If you award the work yourself and more than three trades are involved, support at least at the critical points is worthwhile – before the screed, before tiling, before acceptance.
What is prescribed for projects requiring a permit?
For interventions in the load-bearing structure and other measures requiring a permit, construction must be directed by an authorised person. This is handled by licensed partner firms under § 94 no. 5 GewO, with 8 to 14% of the construction sum for planning, structural analysis, planning application and site supervision.
Who is liable if construction management overlooks a mistake?
Site supervision owes careful control, not freedom from defects – it cannot be present continuously. The executing company is liable for the execution. That is why documentation is so important: it shows what was checked and when.
How are deadlines controlled?
Via a construction schedule with milestones and fixed handovers between the trades, not just an end date. In the event of deviations, the schedule is replanned and updated – a schedule that no longer applies after two weeks and is not adjusted is worthless.
What happens if a subcontractor is delayed?
Subsequent work is brought forward or rearranged, the schedule adjusted, the obstruction recorded in the construction diary. In the case of repeated delays, the contractual consequences apply – but for that, the construction schedule must be part of the contract.
How quickly can you start?
Initial site visit within five working days throughout Vienna. For an ongoing site with an acute problem, we come sooner – then every day on which building continues counts.
Do you also do condition surveys before construction starts?
Yes, with adjoining buildings: photo documentation and crack record before the first spadeful of earth, for larger projects via an expert. Without it, it cannot later be clarified which crack is new – and in case of doubt, the client is liable.
Who draws up the plans if Skyline Bau takes over construction management?
An authorised planner – architect, chartered engineer or master builder. Either you bring existing planning, which we check for buildability before construction starts, or we bring in a planning partner who takes over the planning application and construction drawings. Construction management then implements, keeps queries between site and planner short and documents every deviation from the plan.
When does a site need a site safety coordinator?
As soon as employees of several employers work on the site, at the same time or one after the other. The client must then appoint a planning coordinator and a site safety coordinator under the Construction Work Coordination Act. For a renovation with a master builder, electrician and plumber, this is almost always the case. The appointment should take place in the planning phase, not only on the first working day.
