Construction Administration

We operate in the space between the contractor and project stakeholders, ensuring that the work is executed in accordance with the terms of the contract. Through all phases of construction, you can be sure that your project will be in accordance with requirements set forth by the governing authority, resulting in a successful project delivery.

Working alongside our clients, we help to identify budget and project objectives, set a realistic schedule based on the project’s goals, and maintain a clear understanding of what success looks like. Acting as the owner’s eyes and ears on-site to manage and execute design and construction on their project is how our team brings the project across the finish line.

Knowing and understanding the specifications and local agency preferences is how we help clients reach their project goals. Our construction engineers can “build the project on paper,” looking for conflicts and efficiencies. We smooth out the construction process and keep your project on schedule.

Lamp Rynearson is not directly affiliated with any suppliers or contractors, so we can help you gather competitive bids from competent, qualified contractors in your area. We’ll interpret technical terms and variances to make sure the proposals can be evaluated equally, while adhering to the project contract documents that have been developed. Our insight will guide you to select the right contractor for your project.

We review contractor-submitted shop drawings, looking for deviations from the plans and project specifications. Our team can evaluate alternatives while keeping track of the most important element – TIME.

Our field personnel are trained, observant, problem solvers, ready to inform clients and owners so you are well informed. We recommend having observation on the project so that the work is completed in accordance with the contract documents.

Lamp Rynearson understands the benefit of coordinating early with utility companies, holding weekly utility meetings for updates on their progress, and pushing for completion prior to the Contractor beginning the work within a given phase. We have strong management, coordination skills, and a history of working with utility companies to accomplish work before conflicts arise.

Often underground, public utilities need to be located and identified before ground is broken on a project site. Our Construction Administration team can help locate and mark utilities in the field such as sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and water mains.

Requirements for stormwater management have become more and more complex – we want to partner with you to keep you informed and assist with any corrective actions necessary for compliance. Our highly skilled and experienced stormwater management team will support you from project inception to construction completion, as well as post construction stormwater management.
