B.I.M.
The digitalisation of the built environment represents one of the most profound changes to the construction industry and profession since the first industrial revolution. BIM (Building Information Modelling) is one of the primary enablers of this change.
The superseding BS EN ISO 196502 now defines BIM as ‘the use of a shared digital representation of a built asset to facilitate design, construction and operation processes to form a reliable basis for decisions. Built assets include, but are not limited to, buildings, bridges, roads, process plants‘.

CONSTRUCTION SITE SUPERVISION AND MANAGEMENT
The construction industry is especially dangerous, due to its work nature, which includes working at height and confined spaces, frequent usage of different tools and heavy machinery, dealing with hazardous building materials. The need for site supervision becomes critical if we consider these major threats. Site supervision is the process of monitoring and supervising all the construction activities at the site by qualified engineers, to ensure all construction practices are followed and the regulations and standards are enforced. Site supervision plays a pivotal role in minimizing construction accidents and effectively managing project progress.
The Client Representative, Resident Architect, Resident Engineer, and Site Engineering Supervisor (SES) are people involved in site supervision. The role of the SES is to ensure that the structural, mechanical, and electrical aspects of building construction are carried out in conformance with the plans, drawings, specifications, and required standards. The SES is also responsible for dealing with site changes and attending site meetings. Both the Resident Architect and Resident Engineer have the same responsibilities, which are to update the Client Representative regularly on the progress of the project in terms of time, cost, and quality. The only difference is that the Resident Architect takes care of the architectural elements while the Resident Engineer takes care of the engineering elements.
MZ Engineering provides comprehensive on-site management, supervision and inspection services of construction projects. These services are tailor-made for each project and cover all phases of construction in different Fields of Activity.
For MZ Engineering, the principles of construction supervision begin at the senior level with a commitment to the provision of world-class supervision and an understanding of how it impacts the project, the client and MZ Engineering.
