Frequently Asked Questions

Our team of structural engineers offers comprehensive contract administrative services to ensure your construction project progresses smoothly according to the terms of the contract. These services include overseeing contractors' work to verify compliance with project specifications and timelines, managing changes to the scope or schedule, and addressing potential concerns or disputes that might occur. 
 

A construction project’s initial schedule is developed based on estimates and assumptions, outlining a tentative timeline for completion. Final schedules are more precise. They take into account factors such as material delays, weather conditions, scope modifications and permit approvals. Grubb Engineering will regularly review and update the final schedule to ensure a successful outcome for your build. 

Field reviews help ensure your construction project is completed according to the specifications and adheres to local building codes, regulations, and quality standards. Grubb Engineering conducts regular field reviews to identify and address potential issues early in the design process, helping to maintain efficiency and avoid delays.
