Peatöövõtja

Peatöövõtja is an Estonian term that translates to "main contractor" or "general contractor" in English. In the construction industry, a peatöövõtja is the company or entity that assumes overall responsibility for a construction project. They are typically hired by the client or owner to manage and execute the entire building process.

The peatöövõtja's primary role is to coordinate all aspects of the construction, from initial planning and design through to completion and handover. This includes securing necessary permits, managing the project schedule and budget, and ensuring that the work is carried out to the required quality standards and safety regulations. They are responsible for selecting and supervising subcontractors, who perform specific tasks such as plumbing, electrical work, or roofing.

The peatöövõtja acts as the main point of contact for the client, communicating progress, addressing any issues that arise, and handling payments. They are legally and contractually obligated to deliver the project according to the agreed-upon specifications. In essence, the peatöövõtja is the central orchestrator of a construction project, ensuring its successful and timely completion.
