Focus Areas

Construction Engineering & Inspection

RS&H provides comprehensive construction engineering and inspection services. From construction oversight to post-design and program management services, our professionals provide specialized insight for every project.

Claims Analysis

Guided by our proactive approach to claims avoidance, such as constructability reviews and mitigation services, RS&H is committed to issue resolution at the earliest stage possible. When claims do occur, our experts offer analysis and mitigation services to help both state and local clients resolve issues efficiently, saving time and money associated with lengthy disputes.

Procurement & Specification Authoring

Combining our all-phase experience in construction engineering with program management and design, RS&H can assist transportation owners with specification and procurement document authoring at both the project and program levels.

Critical Path Method Schedule Review

We help safeguard clients against unnecessary delays, complications, and unanticipated costs through critical path method (CPM) scheduling. Our analysis starts with an extensive, reality-based review of the initial and baseline schedule using industry-standard scheduling software. As projects advance, we conduct reviews to ensure project quality. If a project deviates from its schedule, we offer solutions to address the situation effectively.

In-Service Bridge Inspection

By providing in-service bridge inspection services, we provide clients with full-service infrastructure maintenance services from identification of structural deficiencies, assessing damage, regularly monitoring structures, performing load ratings, providing re-design or rehabilitation planning, and monitoring reconstruction. Our approach is to recommend repairs to extend the infrastructure’s useful life, full replacement, or continue monitoring to maximize investments in the interest of public safety.

Drone Services

RS&H employs small unpiloted aircraft systems to improve project oversight and inspection capabilities. With this unique vantage point, we provide clients with comprehensive drone services including progress aerial imagery, structural inspections, earthwork volumetrics, 3D modeling, claims mitigation, post-storm inspections, material tracking, and thermal imagery.

Project Controls

We provide advanced insight and experience in all aspects of critical path method (CPM) scheduling, constructability reviews, estimating, and analysis. RS&H’s project controls group comprises former contractors who have served in various ownership and executive roles. This experience translates into a unique perspective on methods, means, and motivations of contractor’s CPM schedule controls, claim positioning and pursuits, bidding strategies, and risk assessment. We identify exposures before they become claims and help protect our clients as they work to deliver their work programs. Our experience covers contracts of all forms, including design-bid-build, design-build, progressive design-build, private-public-partnerships (P3), construction manager/general contractor (CM/GC), lump sum, unit price, A+B bidding, and emergency.

Aviation RPR Services

RS&H has a team of experienced Resident Project Representatives (RPRs) who oversee the construction of aviation projects on both landside and airside. Our RPRs perform rigorous reviews of material submittals to confirm materials are installed in accordance with the plans, specifications, and manufacturer instructions. We proactively look ahead to identify issues before they occur to prevent any impacts to the schedule or quality of a project. RS&H professionally manages RPR services to ensure projects are constructed in compliance with all FAA, state, and local agency specifications.

Constructability Reviews

Our review process begins with a thorough analysis through all phases of design to identify and quantify shortcomings related to payment methods, constructability, and coordination. Involving our experts in the early stage of projects allows for maximum opportunity to mitigate constructability challenges saving time and money.

Cost Estimating

RS&H cost estimates go beyond estimating via average unit prices. We provide contractor-style, bottoms up cost estimates using contractor estimating software, or estimates focusing on the primary cost drivers to provide accurate estimates while meeting client budgetary constraints. Our cost estimates reflect market conditions including increasing demand, shortage of resources, and labor constraints which have led to significant cost increases across all markets.

Our team of nationally recognized experts are trained and certified in multiple disciplines related to structural welded and bolted connections, coatings, Metals NDT, and fabrication QA/QC.
