Design and construction are complex processes. Matching all components in the fields of design and construction is the domain of the construction engineer and the structural engineer. They develop solutions that fit within the budget and the planning of the project. The construction engineers and engineers of DHV integrate the wishes of clients, architects, and all other consultants together into a technically and financially manageable plan.
Construction Engineer
A good construction engineer is someone who ensures that all parties involved link up perfectly with each other, and that everything fits: literally and figuratively. He or she translates the design of the client or architect into a technically feasible building.
In doing so, the construction engineer devotes attention to sustainability and flexibility, functional use and future aspects. He or she can handle various cultures, customs, and points of view. The construction engineer is actively involved from the initial phase onwards. After all, the most important decisions of a project are always made during that phase, when the costs and quality are defined.
DHV’s Services
The construction engineers and engineers of DHV harmonize perfectly with the above description. They take care of (structural) technical drawings, prepare the estimates, and monitor the building regulations, the building code, and quality aspects. They do so with as much attention for the general outline (the concept) as for the details, certainly in the case of large and complex projects. Contributing ideas to and collaborating with everything and everyone is an important guiding principle. In doing so, the focus is on the building and the occupant in order to ultimately achieve the objective (a qualitatively good building).
The construction engineers and engineers of DHV provide services such as:
- total design management, design coordination of project disciplines
- elaboration of designs in 2D, 3D, and BIM
- advice concerning building regulations and building code
- planning applications and building permits
- budgeting
- STABU estimates and UAV-(GC) construction contracts
- tendering
- construction methodology and planning
- second opinion advising, design test, and structural inspections
- HSE plans
- relocation
- project leadership, coordination of execution, and site supervision
