Private projects

Houses where I was the site director.

Besides the public portfolio, I directed the construction of residential projects designed by architect Mariana Carmona. In all of them I was the site director (director de obra).

Condominio Sorrento · Tuluá, Valle del Cauca

Two houses. I was the site director of both.

How the work is controlled

Four controls, on every contract.

The scale is only useful because of the method behind it. These are the four things I check on every contract, and the same four I check on a private build.

Contract

What was agreed, in writing: scope, dates, payment stages and deliverables. Each payment is compared with what the contract says should exist at that point.

Cost

Budgets are reviewed by quantities and unit prices (APU), not only by totals. Changes in cost are documented before they are paid.

Construction cost audit →

Schedule

Progress on site is compared with the contractual schedule, so a delay is seen while it can still be corrected.

Construction oversight →

Quality and codes

The work is checked on site against the drawings and the Colombian codes that apply, such as NSR-10 and RETIE.

What this shows

Scale, and the same discipline for a private buyer.

Coordinating many contracts and contractors at the same time means working every day with contract control, costs, schedules and technical compliance. Those are the same things a foreign buyer needs checked on a single property.

To be clear: the 50-contract portfolio is public-sector experience. It applies to managing private projects, but it is not the same as a private client engagement.
