Construction Administration That Keeps Texas Projects Moving
Construction administration is where design meets field reality. We keep water and wastewater infrastructure builds moving by managing submittals, RFIs, site observations, and closeout documentation, so your project stays compliant, on schedule, and on budget.
- PE-led submittal & shop drawing reviews
- RFIs answered with schedule/cost impact in mind
- Site observations at critical milestones + punchlists
- Pay app + change order review support
- Testing/commissioning docs organized for TCEQ closeout
- Clean turnover: as-builts, O&M manuals, warranty package

What is Construction Administration?
Construction administration is the hands on coordination that keeps your design, contractor, and regulator aligned. We manage submittals, RFIs, site observations, pay application support, and closeout documentation so your water and wastewater improvements are built to plan and turned over cleanly.
Pre-Construction Services
Good construction administration starts before the first mobilization. We help you reduce RFIs, avoid submittal churn, and set clear expectations for documentation and approvals.
- Bid package, plans, and specification review for constructability
- Pre construction meeting support, roles, communication, and submittal workflow
- Submittal register setup, required items, and review turnaround targets
- Permits, regulatory conditions, and inspection requirements alignment
Construction Phase Services
During construction, we keep decisions moving and documentation clean so the contractor can build, and you can stay confident in compliance, cost, and schedule.
- PE led submittal and shop drawing reviews with clear comments
- RFI responses coordinated with the design intent and field conditions
- Site observations at critical milestones, punchlists, and follow up
- Pay application and change order review support as needed
- Testing documentation coordination, startup planning, and closeout prep
Startup & Commissioning Support
For water and wastewater systems, startup is where risk shows up. We help coordinate the right people and paperwork so commissioning stays organized.
- Coordinate startup activities with vendors, contractor, and owner
- Review O and M manuals, training plans, and warranty documentation
- Track testing results, deficiencies, and corrective actions
- Support turnover documentation for regulatory closeout
Project Closeout Services
Closeout should be fast, complete, and audit ready. We help assemble the documents that owners and regulators expect, then confirm outstanding items are resolved.
- As built drawing coordination and review
- Final punchlist verification and completion tracking
- Organize O and M manuals, warranties, and training sign offs
- Closeout package support for TCEQ and owner records

Why Choose Modern Engineering Solutions
Responsive Communication
Field questions and contractor submittals can’t wait days for response. We maintain direct communication channels and commit to rapid turnaround that keeps construction moving forward.
TCEQ Compliance Expertise
Texas regulatory requirements are complex and change frequently. Our team stays current on TCEQ construction standards, inspection requirements, and closeout documentation to prevent delays and ensure approval.
Cost Control Focus
We evaluate change orders critically, identifying unnecessary costs and recommending value engineering alternatives that protect your budget without compromising quality or performance.
Contractor Relationship Management
We maintain professional, collaborative relationships with contractors while firmly protecting your interests. Our goal is quality construction delivered on schedule,not conflict for its own sake.
Documentation That Protects You
Thorough construction documentation isn’t just good practice,it’s protection against future disputes, warranty claims, and regulatory questions. We create comprehensive records that stand up to scrutiny.
Flexibility When You Need It
Some projects need full-time on-site representation. Others require periodic observation and document review. We scale our involvement to match your project needs and budget, not force you into fixed packages.
We treat construction administration as active project control, not box checking. Every review has criteria, every site visit has a purpose, and every open item has an owner.
- Clarity, timely decisions, and documented outcomes
- Field reality feedback to the design team when adjustments are needed
- Issue tracking so nothing gets lost between emails, RFIs, and meetings
Every project is different, but most construction administration follows a predictable rhythm.
- Pre construction, plan and spec review, submittal workflow, kickoff meeting
- Early construction, first submittals, utility coordination, initial site observations
- Mid construction, RFIs, pay apps, change orders, milestone inspections
- Startup and commissioning, testing documentation, training, system turnover
- Closeout, as builts, O and M manuals, warranty package, final acceptance
If you are managing a Texas water or wastewater improvement, these are the issues that tend to slow projects down. We help you stay ahead of them.
- Submittal delays, we flag missing information early and keep reviews moving
- RFI backlog, we coordinate responses so field work does not stall
- Site issues, we document observations, punchlists, and corrective actions
- Closeout confusion, we organize the turnover package so acceptance is smooth
