Construction contractor services

At Empower, we partner with construction contractors to deliver proactive, hands-on engineering support throughout every stage of the project, from pre-construction through to final completion. Our is on bridging the gap between concept and construction, ensuring that every project is buildable, cost-effective, code-compliant and delivered to the highest standards.

We bring clarity to complexity, offering trusted engineering expertise that helps contractors avoid costly delays, reduce rework and improve project outcomes.

Pre-construction services

Every successful project starts well before construction begins. Empower’s pre-construction services are designed to de-risk delivery, streamline processes and set the foundation for a smooth execution. Our pre-construction support includes:
  • Constructibility reviews
    We evaluate plans and specifications for feasibility, clarity and construction logic, identifying potential issues before they reach site.

  • Design optimisation and value engineering
    We assess systems and materials to propose smarter alternatives that reduce costs, simplify construction, and extend performance without compromising quality.

  • Site planning and logistics consulting
    From staging areas to access routes, we help contractors plan site logistics for maximum safety, efficiency and productivity.

  • Code and regulatory compliance reviews
    Our engineers ensure that proposed designs comply with local, state and national codes, reducing approval times and avoiding regulatory setbacks.

  • Quantity assessment and cost-impact analysis
    We support early budgeting and bidding by providing accurate, engineering-informed quantity assessments and impact evaluations.

  • Stakeholder coordination
    We serve as a liaison between contractors, owners, architects, and regulatory bodies to align expectations and eliminate surprises during construction.

Construction phase support

Once construction begins, Empower remains actively involved providing technical oversight and problem-solving in real time. Our construction support services include:
  • Engineering support during construction
    Immediate response to field questions, design clarifications, and unforeseen conditions.

  • Shop drawing and submittal review
    Detailed review to ensure accuracy and alignment with project requirements.

  • Field engineering and site inspections
    On-site presence to verify design implementation, quality standards and engineering solutions.

  • Change management and cost review
    Independent evaluation of variations and changes, with a focus on value-driven solutions.

  • Contract administration
    Oversight of contract compliance, timelines and deliverables to keep projects on track.

  • Quality assurance and compliance
    Monitoring of environmental standards, and safety protocols to support seamless execution.

  • Certification, close-out and final inspections
    Support through final inspections, defect rectification and preparation of close-out documentation and occupancy handover.

Implementing effective engineering and construction support services reduces risk, minimises delays and ensures projects are delivered on time and as intended. With Empower’s experienced team managing the detail, our clients gain confidence knowing every element is being carefully monitored by industry professionals.
