Our Team understands that when serving as Owner’s Representative (OR), Construction Inspector (CI), or Engineer During Construction (EDC), we are the City’s representative in the field and should act as an extension of your staff, always acting in the City’s best interest. Our Team will assist the City with detailing the submittal process for the contractor to give specific requirements on how and when the submittals are to be prepared and packaged. Using electronic submittals will greatly speed up any needed review by our engineering staff. Submittal information can be transmitted in seconds and response time cut to days.
