How an engagement like this runs
Work in Alys Beach follows the same sequence at any size. Owners see the same four stages.
- 01
Scoping call
We ask what prompted the call, what documents already exist, and what deadline is driving the schedule. If the work does not need an engineer, we say so.
- 02
Field work and review
A licensed engineer or a staff member working under one goes to the site, documents conditions, and reviews the drawings and reports already on file.
- 03
Signed and sealed deliverable
Findings, drawings, and specifications go out under seal, written so a board can read them and a contractor can bid from them.
- 04
Contract Administration
During construction we review submittals, answer requests for information, perform Construction Observations, and review pay applications against work in place.
