Abstract

The construction sector in Colombia is a fundamental pillar of national economic growth, as it generates employment and territorial development. This is evidenced by civil and industrial works and the construction of buildings for various types of uses. Therefore, the government invests in these types of projects with the aim of providing economic support to regions and well-being to society. It is observed that, during the planning stage for the construction of different projects, there is a lack of proper oversight, supervision, and control required in the consulting process for their design and construction, leading to inadequate execution of works, resulting in serious economic consequences and impacts such as increased work quantities, unforeseen items, etc., and prolonged completion times for the projects. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the importance of oversight and supervision in the development of planning and consulting processes for projects in Colombia, as well as the scope and competencies involved, the measures to be taken, and the responsibilities assumed by the professional; one of its objectives being to establish the relationships between the contracting entity and the contractor to ensure compliance with the required needs without omitting aspects such as quality, resources, and duration. Therefore, through the development of this monograph, the aim is to propose a strategy for the supervision of a public works contract during the project planning stage, taking as a case study the construction of two military housing buildings for National Army personnel in the municipality of Nilo, Cundinamarca, based on the study of unfavorable situations that have occurred in the execution of the contract.
