Pre-Construction
We review MEP submittals against contract specifications to verify compliance before the first piece of equipment ships. Specification compliance verification catches substitutions, performance shortfalls, and missing accessories that would otherwise surface as field deficiencies. We develop the QA/QC plan — tailored to the project’s specifications, standards, and owner requirements — and establish the inspection protocols, hold points, and documentation standards before mobilization.
Construction
Our inspectors conduct systematic field inspections of MEP installations — mechanical rough-in, electrical distribution, plumbing, fire protection, and controls. We witness test and balance procedures as an independent check, separate from the contractor’s TAB agency. Every deficiency is documented with location, specification reference, photographic evidence, required corrective action, and a unique tracking number. We verify each correction before closing the item. The deficiency log is a living document — updated in real time, not compiled after the fact.
Turnover
Final inspection reports, punch list closeout verification, and as-built documentation review. We verify that the contractor’s O&M manuals are complete, that warranty information is organized and accessible, and that the QA/QC record constitutes a permanent, auditable project document. For federal projects, our documentation is formatted for COR review and — where applicable — RMS submission under the USACE three-phase quality control framework.
