THE CONSULTING ENGINEERING PROCESS
OUR CLIENT
The process at RIVET Engineering Group begins with you, our client. Please click "Contact RIVET" to email information on your engineering needs and include your name, company name, contact information, and a description of your engineering needs and any special concerns. One of our engineers will personally respond to your request. Contact RIVET
ASSESS THE SITUATION
Once retained and we understand your initial concerns and the scope of your request for engineering services, RIVET’s engineers will review the available pertinent information and will likely request a meeting at the property to gather additional information. Some of our smaller projects are resolved during this initial on-site meeting. More complex issues often require additional documentation and engineering services. If additional or further evaluation is necessary, RIVET will develop and discuss a plan of action with you.
DELIVERABLES
After the concerns have been carefully reviewed and the facts considered, RIVET provides the client with either a verbal consult or an engineered report of our findings, opinions, conclusions, photographs, and/or recommendations as necessary. Additionally, depending on the client’s specific property issues or requests, RIVET may provide stamped engineered plans (Design Engineering services) for repair, modification, reinforcement, etc.
