Plan Review
It's always good to have another set of eyes review a project for potential construction issues. During the design of the project the consulting teams coordinate with other disciplines and fine tune their own designs. However, as deadlines approach and small changes are made, coordination of those changes sometimes gets missed. I can review all of the project drawings to determine potential construction issues before the drawings hit the field.
These plan reviews can also include:
- Value engineering of the structural system
- Potential issues after construction such as wood shrinkage
- Review of the drawings for windstorm compliance in Texas and Florida
Structural Consultation
Before a structural consultant is selected for a project, that project has typically been in design with the architect and civil engineer for at least a year. I can help the design process during that time to answer structural questions and give structural guidance before the project structural consultant is selected.
I can also provide structural forensic work and/or expert witness testimony for your existing buildings with failures, damage, or any other issues you may need.
Construction Administration
It is sometimes advantageous to have a third party inspector for your projects during construction, especially if you are in need of an unbiased opinion as to how things are moving along.
Or, perhaps you are a builder in need of your own engineer to help provide solutions to field issues. Many times those solutions can be presented to the structural engineer of record in order to expedite approvals.
