Hiring an Engineer for Construction Oversight Services


BUSTAMANTE STAFF • Feb 02, 2021

Don't Let a Small Defect Cause Big Problems Down the Road

To ensure that the best-laid plans become the best-constructed projects, qualified engineering professionals are often asked to provide oversight on construction projects. They verify for the client that a project is being completed as planned. Clients are best served by having a construction oversight project manager that is independent from the contractor and retained directly by the client to ensure their best interests. Our staff of experts can provide comprehensive construction monitoring services to deliver a project that meets specifications, is more cost effective and solves problems before they impact the project.

  • Quality Assurance & Control – The project manager reports on the overall quality of the project and oversees the status of progress and costs to complete the project.
  • Problem Identification - While onsite, the technician can establish a punch list of incomplete and/or deficient items.
