- Design
-
Conceptual or preliminary to detail design. Depending on the
complexity of the project this can involve a large team of
consultants. I can provide this team or work with yours. Many
facilities or projects do not require this degree of expertise and a
quick scope of work will establish this. Preliminary design and cost
estimates are probably the most important part of the project saving
time and money.
- Cost Estimates
-
Preliminary estimates to help establish scope and budget. Once
drawings are approved a construction estimate can be provided before
going to tender. This is essential if time is a consideration as much
time can be wasted on tendering a project if the funds aren't there.
-
Cost estimates can be given for budget purposes for allocation
of maintenance funds.
-
- Drawings & Specifications
-
Drawings and specifications for the complete project be it grass
roots or maintenance. This is an important part of the tendering and
permit process. Without these tender prices mean little and permits
will not be given. I can provide the professional seal that many
municipalities require.
- Inspections
-
There are many inspection services I can provide. Site,
construction and risk assessment all are important:
Site (existing) inspections are usually to establish upgrading
and non-compliance. This is especially useful to prepare maintenance
budgets particularly for multiple facility clients who can then prioritize
projects.
Construction inspections are to ensure that the facility is
built as per the specifications and drawings. BC Building Code Letters
of Assurance can be provided.
Risk Assessment inspections can be done in conjunction with
site inspections, this will establish what risk there is due to a
product spill or fire.
- Project Management
-
This can be assistance for the client in his interactions with
the contractor and/or supplier. From providing a list of competent
contractors to tendering and managing the contract or portions as
requested.
In certain situations where the client has skilled tradesmen only
lacking petroleum experience, I can provide the supervision and
training to allow them to do some or all of the work.
