Construction Monitoring

While a building is under construction, these inspections are performed by an independent engineer that ensures that the plans and specifications are implemented correctly.

Construction monitoring (a.k.a. Third Party Construction Oversight, or Third Party Course of Construction Inspections) is beneficial to the building owners from a quality control standpoint. Lending institutions often employ third party inspectors to ensure with each bank draw, the appropriate tasks are being completed satisfactorily.

We believe that many headaches and problems can be eliminated with a project if errors are caught early and reported effectively during the course of construction. In addition to having good communication with our clients (owners, lenders, or insurers), we believe that it is very important to establish a good working relationship with the contractors performing the work on a site. This allows us to bring problems to the contractor's attention while we are on site. It also allows us to schedule visits when most appropriate.

We typically perform building envelope design reviews in conjunction with the course of construction inspections. All of our site visits are accompanied by a report with photos documenting the progress of the construction.
