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.
What construction management costs in Vienna
Guide values net, as of 2026. Construction management is billed either as a percentage of the construction sum, by the hour or as a lump sum per construction phase.
| Model | Net price | When it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Included in the general contractor's fixed price | no surcharge | if we carry out the project anyway |
| Local site supervision, percentage | 2.5–5% of the construction sum | ongoing site with several trades |
| Planning, structural analysis, planning application and site supervision | 8–14% of the construction sum | projects requiring a permit |
| Construction management by the hour | €75–105/h | support for individual phases |
| Site inspection with report | €380–950 per visit | interim check, recording defects |
| Acceptance support | 650–1.800 € | takeover from the developer or previous contractor |
What construction management actually does
| Task | How often | What results from it |
|---|---|---|
| Drawing up and updating the construction schedule | ongoing | schedule with handovers between the trades |
| Site inspection | daily to weekly | photo report with status and open points |
| Coordination of trades | ongoing | fixed handover dates, rescheduling in case of delay |
| Measurement and quantity control | per phase | measurement sheets to ÖNORM as the basis for billing |
| Checking extra charges | as required | written approval before execution |
| Quality control | before every closing up | photo documentation of pipes and waterproofing |
| Obtaining measurement and test reports | per trade | screed moisture, pressure test, leak test, electrical inspection report |
| Invoice checking | per partial invoice | comparison with measurement and bill of quantities |
| Acceptance of subcontractors | per trade | snagging list with deadlines |
| Final acceptance | once | acceptance report to ÖNORM B 2110 |
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.
Where costs arise without construction management
| What happens | When it is noticed | What it then costs |
|---|---|---|
| Screed covered too early | after two to six months | completely new floor covering, €45–110/m² |
| Waterproofing in the bathroom missing | at the neighbour's | stripping out the bathroom, €9,800–22,000 |
| Pipes not documented | the next time someone drills | water damage, €1,800–45,000 |
| Edge insulation strip bridged | after moving in | impact sound cannot be fixed without removal |
| Measurement billed unchecked | not at all | 5–15% overpaid |
| Extra charge billed after the fact | with the final invoice | dispute without evidence |
| No acceptance report | in the event of a warranty claim | burden of proof lies with the client |
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.
what it includes
Construction management reaches into many areas. What is connected:
The overview of what we carry out ourselves and what partners take over.
Structural analysis and master-builder tasks via a licensed partner under § 94 no. 5 GewO.
Execution and coordination of all trades from a single source.
A typical project that needs coordinated construction management.
From shell to handover — managed in a coordinated way.
Whether private or commercial — we carry out construction management in Vienna on schedule and cleanly. Professional construction management in Vienna saves time, money and nerves.

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.
