Coordination under the Construction Site Ordinance

Safety on your construction site – coordinated

When employees of several firms work on one site, the client must appoint a health and safety coordinator. We plan the safety of your project in advance and make sure during construction that the trades do not endanger each other.

In short

Site Safety Coordination (SiGeKo)

Many site accidents happen where trades meet: the electrician works beneath the roofer, the crane swings over the scaffold, the floor layer blocks the escape route. The coordinator – “SiGeKo” in German – plans these overlaps and manages them.

Important for clients: the obligation lies with you – even if you hire contractors. You can, however, hand the task over to a qualified coordinator. That is exactly what we offer.

Who is it for?

  • Commercial and public clients
  • Private clients with several contractors
  • Architects and project managers
  • Housing companies during refurbishment

What we take care of

Planning phase

Safety is cheapest to plan before the first excavator arrives.

  • Prior notice to the authority
  • Health and safety plan (SiGe plan)
  • Input for tender documents

Construction phase

We are on site regularly and address problems directly.

  • Inspections with report and photos
  • Safety meetings with contractors
  • Site rules

Shared facilities

Scaffolds, fall protection or cranes are often used by several firms. We clarify who provides and checks what.

  • Define responsibilities
  • Document handovers

File for later work

Whoever maintains the roof in ten years needs to know where the anchor points are. We prepare this file.

  • Maintenance, cleaning, repairs
  • Handover to the client

Do you need this service?

Four short questions – then you know whether this service is relevant for your company.

How it works

  1. Proposal based on volume and duration
  2. Prior notice and safety plan
  3. Briefing all firms at start
  4. Regular inspections and reports
  5. Handover of the file for later work

The legal basis – in plain words

BaustellVThe Construction Site Ordinance defines when a coordinator is needed, when the authority must be notified and when a safety plan is mandatory.
RAB 30Defines the qualification a coordinator must have.
RAB 31Describes what belongs in a safety plan.

Frequently asked questions

I am building privately – does this apply to me?

Yes, as soon as employees of more than one firm work on your site. This also applies to single-family homes.

Can the architect do this?

Only if they have the RAB 30 qualification and the task is explicitly assigned. It is not automatically part of the design service.

When should I hire you?

Ideally during the planning phase. Safety measures can then be included in the tender rather than ordered expensively later.

What does a site coordinator cost?

It depends on construction volume, duration, number of trades and required inspection frequency. You receive a lump-sum or fee offer based on your documents.

How often is the coordinator on site?

As often as progress requires – more often in critical phases such as shell construction, roofing or demolition. Every inspection is documented.

Does the prior notice have to be displayed on site?

Yes. The prior notice must be displayed visibly on site and updated in case of significant changes.

Do you take on sites anywhere in Germany?

Yes. We coordinate construction projects across Germany and plan inspections to match the schedule.

Safety starts with a conversation.
