Construction RFI and submittal engineering support can help when a client-side project question needs a documented discipline review.

Engineering Support for GCs

Engineering Support for General Contractors

We work directly with general contractors on structural modifications, existing building conditions, equipment support, MEP changes, and design-build packages — with the fast turnaround that construction schedules require.

Structural Modifications in the Field

Field conditions rarely match the drawings. When structural elements need modification — a beam is in the wrong location, an existing footing isn't where the drawings say, or a wall opening needs to be larger — we provide structural solutions fast. We review the field condition, design the modification, and produce revised drawings for the inspector.

Existing Building Engineering

GCs frequently work in existing buildings without complete drawings. We work with contractor-provided field measurements, photos, and exploratory opening information to engineer modifications without requiring a full set of existing drawings. Practical engineering for real-world construction conditions.

Rooftop Equipment and Structural Support

RTU replacements, generator pads, solar mounting structures, equipment curbs — we size structural supports, design equipment anchorage, and produce the structural calculations and details required for the mechanical permit.

MEP Changes and Permit Revisions

When mechanical, electrical, or plumbing scope changes during construction — due to equipment substitutions, field conditions, or owner changes — we update the engineering documents and produce revised drawings for permit revision or as-built documentation.

RFI Response and Plan Check Support

We respond to structural and MEP RFIs and provide supporting documentation for plan check comments. Our engineers are available by phone and email for rapid responses to time-sensitive construction questions.

Design-Build Engineering

For design-build projects, we integrate directly into the GC's delivery model — providing early schematic engineering to support bid packages, coordinating with the GC team through design development, and delivering permit-ready documents on the project schedule.
