Construction supervision by an engineer in Cyprus
Construction supervision by a registered engineer in Cyprus. Describe your building project and compare quotes for site supervision.
Supervision makes sure the project is built in line with the permit, the approved designs and good building practice. In Cyprus, work covered by a building permit needs a supervising engineer registered with ETEK, who checks critical stages such as the reinforcement before every concrete pour. Beyond the legal requirement, a good supervising engineer protects the owner from mistakes, delays and poor workmanship that are expensive to put right later.
