kivitelezés

Kivitelezés is a Hungarian term referring to the act of carrying out, realizing, or executing a plan, design, or project. While it is commonly used in construction, it also describes the implementation of software deployments, investment programs, policies, or other initiatives where a plan is turned into a tangible result.

In construction, kivitelezés denotes the actual building work performed by a contractor according to approved designs, specifications, and contracts, leading to a completed structure or facility. The concept encompasses site management, resource organization, scheduling, quality assurance, safety, and adherence to regulations. It also includes coordination among designers, contractors, suppliers, and authorities, as well as cost and schedule control, with handover and as-built documentation marking project completion.

Process and phases: kivitelezés typically follows planning and procurement stages and occurs during the execution phase of a project. It involves managing contracts, overseeing construction activities, ensuring compliance with technical requirements, and monitoring progress to align with the project’s scope, budget, and timeline.

Roles: key participants include the client (megrendelő), the contractor (kivitelező), the designer or architect (tervező), and a technical supervisor or engineer responsible for quality and compliance (műszaki ellenőr or felelős műszaki vezető), along with project managers and regulatory authorities as needed.

Legal and regulatory context: kivitelezés is governed by contract law and construction regulations, permits, licensing, and safety standards. Non-compliance can lead to delays, penalties, or certification issues.

Outcomes and challenges: successful kivitelezés delivers a finished project that meets specifications, on time, and within budget. Common challenges include cost overruns, delays, supply chain issues, quality control, and safety risks.
