ehitusettevõte

Ehitusettevõte is a company that performs construction works. It can function as a general contractor or a subcontractor and may specialize in various sectors, including residential, commercial, industrial, or infrastructure projects. A typical ehitusettevõte employs a range of professionals such as site managers, engineers, foremen, architects, and skilled tradespeople to execute building and civil engineering tasks.

Typical services include project planning and management, design-build and construction management, procurement and logistics, site preparation, foundations and structures, roofing and finishing work, electrical, plumbing and HVAC installations, and renovation or restoration projects. They oversee on-site operations, coordinate with subcontractors and suppliers, ensure safety and quality control, and handle compliance with permits, inspections, and environmental requirements.

Project delivery usually involves bidding for contracts, selecting a suitable procurement method (for example lump-sum or negotiated contracts), and implementing project controls for schedule, cost, and risk management. Clear communication with clients, architects or engineers, and authorities is essential, as is documentation, quality assurance, and adherence to deadlines and budgets.

Regulatory context in Estonia: Construction activities are governed by national laws and regulations, including building legislation and safety requirements. Companies must register as businesses and comply with occupational safety, labor, environmental, and consumer protection rules. Construction work often adheres to European or Estonian standards, and many firms pursue professional accreditation or membership in industry associations to support quality and reliability.

Overall, ehitusettevõte plays a central role in delivering built environments, from new constructions to refurbishments and complex civil projects, through coordination of resources, compliance, and project execution.
