Construction Administration


One of the most critical aspects of a project is Construction Administration by the design professional. This service helps the Owner/Developer have some assurance that the project is being constructed properly and allows for the opportunity to refine and improve the design even further as field conditions dictate. Failing to ensure that a site is being constructed properly can result in the Owner/Developer being subject to fines, construction delays, increased costs, negative publicity, and legal action.
