Construction Support
MEP Construction Administration
MEP submittal review, RFI response, field observation, and commissioning support that keep design decisions connected to construction.
Overview
The permit set isn’t the end of the engineering work. TPS provides construction-phase support for the systems it designs, helping the owner, architect, and contractors work through equipment submittals, questions, utility interfaces, and observed field conditions. We define the review responsibilities, site visits, and commissioning support with the project team so everyone knows what is included.
What's included
Scope of work
Shop drawing and equipment submittal review
Responses to requests for information
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design coordination
Utility coordination within the engineering scope
Field observation of the designed systems
Commissioning support for the agreed systems
Methodology
How the engagement runs
We agree on inputs, responsibilities, and deliverables before the work begins, then keep the design decisions connected through each stage.
MEP Construction Administration: how the engagement runs
- 1Plan the construction engagementAgree on review procedures, expected submittals, site visit milestones, utility interfaces, and commissioning responsibilities before work begins.
- 2Review proposed equipment and questionsReview submittals against the design intent and respond to RFIs. Coordinate the effect of proposed equipment changes across disciplines.
- 3Observe and communicateObserve the work at the agreed milestones and communicate engineering findings to the project team for resolution.
- 4Support the transition to operationProvide the agreed commissioning support and address engineering questions as systems are prepared for operation.

FAQ
Common questions
Does TPS stay involved after the permit drawings?+
Yes. TPS offers submittal review, RFI response, utility coordination, field observation, and commissioning support. The proposal sets out the activities and level of involvement for the project.
Is construction administration the same as continuous inspection?+
No. Engineering reviews and scheduled field observations have a defined scope. Continuous inspection, contractor supervision, and construction means and methods are not implied by a construction-administration assignment.
How is commissioning support scoped?+
We agree on the systems, responsibilities, milestones, and documentation before the work starts. Describe the commissioning team and expected engineering involvement when requesting a proposal.
