Field services are where ideas and visions become reality.  This is when and where the majority of project budgets are spent.  Getting it right the first time is critical.  A boundary and topographic survey must accurately depict the existing conditions at the site.  Every decision project owners and designers make during the design process will be based on information presented from the initial surveys of the site.  Later, construction stake-out surveys must reflect the intent of the designs while being coordinated with the reality of the construction environment.  Close coordination with on-site contractors and their specific means and methods is critical.  Finally, regulatory agencies require accurate record drawings that depict precisely where and how infrastructure was constructed.  Our survey personnel will collect this critical information in a timely manner.

Entellus Philosophy & Approach

Our construction management/administration division’s role is to ensure that the owner receives the constructed project in accordance with the project plans and specifications.  To accomplish this, our staff proactively works with the selected contractor(s) and stakeholders to resolve issues as soon as they surface.  We will also attempt to facilitate an on time and under budget project delivery.  We realize schedule is paramount in construction.  Our experienced personnel will provide timely and proactive resolutions of issues.  Schedule, quality, function, and aesthetics must not be compromised.  From the initial pre-construction meeting to project startup and until final punch list, our staff will provide visible, positive and proactive owner representation.
