On-site Engineering Review & Contract Administration

During construction projects, ongoing review is essential to ensure the project is executed according to design intent, specifications, Building Code requirements, and industry standards. Brown & Beattie’s Construction Review and Contract Administration services provide ongoing monitoring, communication, and documentation throughout the construction process to help projects stay on schedule, on budget, and in compliance with contract requirements.

Why Review Matters

Regular site reviews and effective contract administration are key to achieving quality results and reducing costly delays or disputes. Having a detailed specification or scope of work is not enough to ensure that the work is properly executed.

Brown Beattie Construction Review

Concealed conditions often arise during the construction process that require changes or revisions to the original, planned scope. By identifying and addressing issues early and providing sound technical review and clear documentation throughout, Brown & Beattie supports a smooth construction process and successful project completion.

Construction Review & Administration Services Typically Include:

Preparation of Contract Documents

We prepare the CCDC contracts governing the construction work for signing by the parties.

Preconstruction Services

We review project start-up submittals, shop drawings, and mock-ups in advance of construction as well as coordinate and attend a preconstruction meeting with all parties to discuss project details, impacts, and expectations.

Site Reviews

We conduct regular review of the work to evaluate workmanship, materials, and progress for compliance with the specifications and contract schedule. Following each site review, we provide a detailed Site Visit Report.

Deficiency Identification

We document and communicate observed deficiencies, deviations, or potential concerns early and follow up regularly to get them resolved quickly.

Concealed Conditions

Unexpected or concealed conditions may arise during the construction process.We provide technical reviews of concealed conditions and assist with adapting the planned scope of work to accommodate the new information, while remaining technically sound.

Contract Administration

We review shop drawings, material data sheets, contractor schedules, requests for information, and provide clarification of technical requirements. We also prepare change orders and invoice payment certificates throughout the construction process. Contract administration also requires facilitating open communication among owners and contractors to resolve disagreements and contractual issues fairly and promptly.

Post-Construction Services

We assist in administering key project milestones, including declaring Substantial Performance, completing final reviews, and preparing all required documentation for project close-out. Our team also tracks warranty periods and conducts warranty reviews at the Owner’s request to ensure continued building performance after completion.
