Our Capabilities
Frost Engineering offers comprehensive inspection and construction support services tailored to each project’s complexity and requirements.
Structural Observations
Periodic site visits by licensed engineers to review overall structural systems and verify general conformance with design intent.
Special Inspections (IBC Chapter 17)
Detailed inspections of specific materials, components, and construction processes as required by code to ensure compliance and safety.
Material Testing and Verification
Field and laboratory testing of structural materials to confirm quality, strength, and proper installation.
Construction Phase Engineering Support
Ongoing coordination with contractors, architects, and project teams to address field conditions, RFIs, and design clarifications.
Quality Control and Documentation
Clear reporting and documentation of inspections, observations, and compliance status throughout the construction process.
Issue Identification and Resolution
Early detection of discrepancies between design and field conditions, with practical solutions to keep projects on track.
Our Approach
Frost Engineering takes a proactive, collaborative approach to construction-phase services.
.
1. Pre-Construction Coordination
Review project requirements, inspection scopes, and code obligations to align expectations with the project team.
2. On-Site Observations and Inspections
Perform scheduled and milestone-based site visits to evaluate structural work as it progresses.
3. Verification and Testing
Inspect critical elements such as connections, materials, and load-resisting systems to confirm compliance with approved documents.
4. Reporting and Communication
Provide timely, clear reports that document findings and support informed decision-making.
5. Construction Support and Follow-Up
Work alongside the project team to resolve issues, respond to field conditions, and maintain project momentum.
Benefits of Structural Observations, Special Inspections & Construction Support
