Construction Support Engineering
Engineering support for building owners, condominium associations, property managers and contractors undertaking restoration and repair projects. RAS Engineering helps carry an approved repair scope through bidding, construction observations and project closeout.
Request an Engineering Proposal. We begin with a complimentary site visit and then provide a project-specific proposal.
When to involve RAS
Contact us when you are planning concrete, facade, balcony, parking-garage or waterproofing repairs, reviewing contractor bids, or addressing unexpected conditions during construction. The scope of engineering services is established for your project.
Before construction: documents and bidding
Review available inspection reports, drawings and repair recommendations.
Prepare or clarify repair drawings, specifications and bid scopes.
Assist with technical questions, bid comparisons and permitting responses.
During construction: engineering observations and testing
Observe accessible work at agreed stages and document conditions.
Review technical submittals and respond to requests for information.
Evaluate exposed deterioration and recommend adjustments to repair details when needed.
Provide construction materials testing and coordinate specified inspections within the agreed scope.
Site observations are performed at the frequency defined in the proposal. They do not replace the contractor’s responsibility for construction means, methods or job-site safety.
Deliverables and closeout
Depending on the engagement, deliverables may include repair documents, written field observations, testing results, responses to technical questions and closeout documentation. Required special or threshold inspections are identified separately for the project.
What to send with your inquiry
Provide the property address, project description, available inspection reports and drawings, proposed construction schedule, contractor proposals, and any building-department notices. You can select multiple services on our contact form.
