Structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design for new construction, additions, and renovations across commercial, industrial, and multi-family occupancies. One team handles every discipline in-house, so there are no coordination gaps between separate consultants and no surprises when your drawings hit code review.

Several key steps are required for the successful development of a set of project drawings and specifications. How a firm coordinates their plans with local codes and regulations, as well as plans developed by other consultants or disciplines, has a significant impact on the success of the project. Submitting inaccurate or insufficient construction documents to the local jurisdiction will have an adverse effect on the project. Your firm will spend many hours revising and providing addenda addressing unexpected items for re-submittal and possible delays in the project schedule. F&B Engineering provides pre-design analysis services for architectural and engineering firms that will provide valuable insight regarding code and regulatory conflicts, as well as disconnects between disciplines.

Plans that ultimately go to governmental plan reviewers at the local level are never completely free of issues and questions. This is quite evident when the design firm receives correspondence from the government building official indicating several items of non-compliance. F&B Engineering provides professional post-submission plan review services designed to provide analysis and solutions for re-submittal of all items of non-compliance.

The impression that your firm makes with a set of project plans is primarily based on the accuracy and completeness of the plans and specifications developed. The number and significance of comments issued by governmental plan reviewers at the local level and during team reviews is reflective of the end product and your firm.
