Construction Administration
Design intent only survives construction when the design engineer stays engaged. Our CA practice keeps the same PEs who sealed the drawings answering the RFIs, reviewing the submittals, and walking the site, so what gets built is what was engineered, and closeout is a formality rather than a fight.
From bid analysis and pre-bid meetings through field observation reports, change order review, and as-built verification, we protect the owner's interest at every phase where money and design intent are at risk.
Our Approach
How We Work
We treat construction administration as the second half of design. Submittals are reviewed against the engineering intent, RFIs are answered by the engineer of record, and site visits are documented with reports an owner can act on, and a lawyer can rely on.
- RFIs answered by the engineer of record
- Submittal & shop drawing review with real engineering scrutiny

Why Owners Choose KeRi
Design-Engineer Continuity
No handoff to a junior CA department, the engineers who designed the systems administer their construction.
Field Presence
