Before construct, we
advice architect and
developers.We
analysis see whether
the design fit with
their requirements.
We also prepare C&S
drawing (columns and
beams) and tender
documents (steel,
concrete, doors,
windows).We also
need to specify the
correct way to do.
During construct, make sure
they understand and happy with
the price.We engage a
residence engineer to do site
inspection and make sure
whatever drawn in the drawing
and material the contractor use
it. Every two weeks we must
have a site meeting for checking
and monitor the progress.We
need to estimate whether can
achieve it on time or not, I f
cannot achieve, try to came out
with other solution.
After construct, make sure it is
completely done by inspect
with contractor and authorities
to sign Certificate of Practical
Completion (CPC).After that,
sign for the Certificate of
Completion and Compliments
(CCC).There are six form for
C&S Engineer to sign include
earth work, foundation work,
drainage work, water work,
sewer work, structure work.
