Rakentumisvaihe

Rakentumisvaihe, also known as the construction phase in Finnish construction projects, refers to the period during which the physical building work is carried out after design and permitting have been completed. It is the stage in which foundations are laid, structural elements erected, and all building services installed. The phase spans from mobilization of site and equipment to the final handover to the client.

During the construction phase, project managers coordinate activities between architects, engineers, contractors, and subcontractors. Quality control is essential: materials must meet specified standards, workmanship is inspected, and safety regulations are enforced. Building codes and environmental regulations dictate that certain practices, such as waste handling and noise control, must be followed. Regular progress reports and contractor meetings keep the project on schedule and within budget.

Key components of this phase include site preparation, concrete pouring, framing, plumbing, electrical wiring, interior and exterior finishing, and commissioning of mechanical and electrical systems. Documentation, such as as-built drawings and correction lists, is compiled to reflect any deviations from the original design.

Completion of the construction phase leads to a final inspection by authorities, issuance of occupancy certificates, and formal handover to the client. Successful execution of the construction phase is critical for the project's safety, functionality, and long-term performance.
