Byggefasen

Byggefasen is the phase of a construction project during which the actual building work is carried out on site. It follows the pre-construction stages of design, planning, and permitting and precedes commissioning, handover, and operation. The primary objective is to translate approved drawings and specifications into a finished asset that meets requirements for quality, safety, time, and budget.

Typical activities in byggefasen include site setup and logistics, earthworks and foundation construction, structural framing, and installation of the building envelope (roofing, walls, façades). Interior work covers partitions, finishes, and fit-out. Building services such as mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection are installed and tested, along with systems integration and commissioning. External works, landscaping, and utility connections may also occur. Ongoing quality control, safety management, and regulatory compliance are integral throughout the phase.

Management and coordination are central to byggefasen. A general contractor or construction manager oversees subcontractors, suppliers, and on-site activities, while project controls handle scheduling, budgeting, procurement, and change management. Risk management addresses potential delays, cost overruns, weather, and supply issues. Safety plans, adherence to building codes, and environmental considerations are regularly reviewed and implemented.

Outcomes of byggefasen include a completed, tested, and accessible building ready for handover. Final deliverables typically include as-built drawings, operation and maintenance manuals, warranty information, and training for facilities staff. The phase culminates in occupancy or commissioning certificates and formal transfer to the client or operator.
