Belz Architecture + Construction will review the project plans and specifications to evaluate the completeness of these important documents.  We provide our clients with an analysis of the contractor’s estimated construction costs to determine if available funds are sufficient to complete the proposed project.  Other contract documents, such as Geotechnical Reports, Soil Borings, Environmental Reports, CPM Schedules, Payment and Performance Bonds, Permits, are also reviewed during this process. A detailed report is issued regarding the overall viability of the construction project, the adequacy of the plans, the reasonableness of the schedule and anticipated costs, and verification of proper permitting being in place.
