How an engagement like this runs

Work in WaterColor 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.
