The construction administration phase of a project is often not met with the same excitement as the initial design phases of a project. At this time, the design project has potentially gone on for some time and the initial project enthusiasm may have waned among the design team. New players are introduced such as the contractor team and the fury of RFI’s, submittals and change requests begin. This time can especially be challenging for newer engineers who may not be as experienced dealing with the time constraints and pressures with having to review these items quickly as well as working through adjustments for unforeseen or varying existing conditions, not to mention the occasional repair of contractor errors and omissions. This issue can have increased challenges when firms assign construction administration duties to less experienced staff, staff that may not have had direct involvement during the design phase or construction administrative/field inspection staff.
