This encompasses broader contract management and procurement and contract administration support. Our focus is on supporting compliance, transparency, and efficient administration of your project's contracts.

Observing and confirming that construction aligns with approved plans is vital for a project's integrity and compliance. We provide essential construction monitoring services to observe and confirm that work on site is being constructed generally in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. This service provides checks intended to support structural integrity, compliance with relevant regulations, and the quality of specified elements of your finished development in Northland. Our engineers conduct essential site inspections at key construction stages. Following monitoring, we issue Producer Statements for Construction Review (PS4) to support the issuing of Building Consents and Code of Compliance Certificates (CCC) by the council. Key elements reviewed during construction monitoring include: - Foundations, including raft slabs, concrete footings, and timber or concrete piles. - Installation of steel members and portal frames. - Specific Engineered Design (SED) elements. - Earthworks supervision and compliance testing (e.g., fill compaction tests, ground bearing tests, CBR testing). - Settlement monitoring and ground settlement monitoring. - Other construction site monitoring aspects, including consideration of vibration monitoring construction and construction progress monitoring where relevant. We perform crucial ground bearing capacity tests to verify site suitability. We understand the need for timely inspections and accurate documentation to help keep your construction project on schedule.
