Construction Monitoring
Comprehensive design documents alone will not ensure that the contractor’s work is compliant and of acceptable quality to produce the desired results. Periodic site visits (quality assurance inspections) to observe the work is critical to not only confirm quality and compliance, but also to help resolve unforeseeable complications that may be encountered. In addition to quality assurance inspections, Contract Administration entails periodic progress meetings and reports, documentation, review of submittals, dealing with field problems, processing pay requests and, where necessary, preparing change orders.

EVALUATIONS

Evaluation of building components is a common service provided to help determine the conditions and extent of any problems present. Where problems do exist, the cause and effect need to be fully understood in order to develop repair strategies that are not only effective, but also durable. We’re frequently brought in to determine why some earlier repair, usually based on supposition and assumption, was less than successful. In most of those cases, symptoms rather than causes were addressed.
