\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In major projects, the challenge is not design alone, but the number of parties that need to align before work on site can move forward. We work alongside consultancy teams, contractors and project managers within a clearly defined scope, with known deliverables from day one.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Do you work as the lead consultant or as part of an existing team?<\/summary>

Both. On some projects, we act as the appointed consultancy, while on others we come in with a clearly defined scope alongside an existing lead consultant. The scope is defined in writing before work begins.<\/p><\/details>

Do you review designs prepared by another consultancy?<\/summary>

Yes. It is one of our most requested services in this sector. An independent review can uncover issues that the original team may have become accustomed to overlooking.<\/p><\/details>

When is a resident engineer preferable to periodic site visits?<\/summary>

When the project is complex, fast-paced, or requires near-daily decisions on site.<\/p><\/details>

Do you deal with authorities on behalf of the owner?<\/summary>

Yes, within the scope of approvals and permits: preparing submissions, following them up, and addressing comments through to approval.<\/p><\/details>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
