Structural engineering designs are reviewed for proper consideration to economy in first cost and life cycle cost, maintenance cost, proper materials, and type of construction. Projects are reviewed to evaluate the structural design coordination with the civil, mechanical and electrical disciplines.

This Position will assist construction monitors in the field in resolving technical or contractual issues at the construction site as well as assisting in the final inspection. Position will monitor structures under construction and at completion provide valuable three-dimensional insight into problems or conditions that could be corrected earlier in the two-dimensional review process.

The SCO Design Review Section conducts a comprehensive review and technical evaluation of design drawings, specifications, and budget of each project submitted by contracted designers. Submittals occur at three phases of the design process – Schematic Design, Design Development and Construction Documents – depending on size, type and/or complexity of the proposed project. Each submittal phase increases in complexity and completion.
