Client Services
Veitas & Veitas Engineers has developed a series of structural engineering
disciplines for delivering a broad range of professional services for
meeting specific client requirements.
Structural Engineering
Whether a new or existing structure, Veitas & Veitas Engineers is
a collaborative partner with clients, architects, developers, and other
professionals, including other engineering firms.
Based on their extensive experience, Veitas & Veitas Engineers takes
pride in providing practical, cost-effective solutions for even the
most complex structural problems. It is this innovation that creates
confidence in Veitas & Veitas Engineers, which is why the firm has
a notable history of repeat clients.
The firm’s designs reflect the knowledge of how steel, concrete,
and wood structural systems are assembled in the field. The engineers
continually interact with trades people to learn more efficient ways
of constructing structural systems.
Veitas & Veitas Engineers views itself as a “learning firm,”
staying actively involved in revolutionary structural engineering ideas
from other parts of the country and applying them to their design work
in the Northeast.
Building Science
This firm’s specialty involves structural investigation and engineering
restoration from masonry, wood, pre-cast, and cast-in-place structures.
Projects include work on concrete parking garages, building exteriors,
water treatment plants, and wood structures.
Veitas & Veitas building science engineering
multi-step service includes:
• Surveying of existing conditions
• Review, analysis, and diagnosis of structural problems
• Evaluation and repair of deteriorated or damaged structural
materials
• Construction documents and construction administration
Structural
Inspection
This Veitas & Veitas discipline provides clients with the assurance
that the structural aspects of a project under construction meet the
specific structural intent and requirements of the contract documents.
Under the provisions of the 6th edition of the Massachusetts Building
Code, the structural engineer of record is authorized to designate who
will perform the structural inspection. At Veitas & Veitas, this
service is performed by their own inspectors under the direction of
a registered professional engineer who then reports the inspection findings
to building officials, owners, and architects.
Veitas & Veitas Engineers schedules pre-placement meetings with
key subcontractors (excavation, foundation, slab finishers, framers,
masons, and structural steel). This creates a much better understanding
of contract documents, expectations, improves the way the job moves
forward, and saves time during the construction process.
In addition, frequent site visits by our project engineers help Veitas
& Veitas Engineers identify construction issues before they become
major problems
Project Coordination
The way in which Veitas & Veitas Engineers works is just as important
as the work they do when it comes to satisfying their clients. At the
center of their process is the Project Coordination System that is designed
to facilitate the continuous flow of critical information.
Given today’s schedule demands for early release of structural
packages, they use their system to manage the flow of information from
the architect and owner.
Veitas & Veitas project management recognizes that there are unforeseen
events, inevitable issues, and unexpected changes that will occur during
the course of any project. They have developed management systems that
allow them to handle such contingencies in a succinct manner. As a result,
projects stay on track and costs are controlled.
This process includes a series of communication
channels:
• Regular project briefings with clients
• Weekly in-house project team meetings
• In-house project checklists
• Electronic exchange and use of documents with collaborating
