Client-Based Services - Saving you schedule and cost by avoiding re-work

Whether you’re a project owner, contractor, design team member, or testing/inspection agency, OCI can help navigate your project’s complex issues in a way that fits your needs. We do this through periodic visits, full-time observations on-site, attending virtual meetings, phone calls, or remote review of project information and submittals.

For owners, OCI provides a variety of services. Do you need a consultant to help oversee your contractor’s quality plan implementation? Do you want an expert to investigate or audit your contractor’s QA/QC plan and know if quality is truly being implemented per project requirements and building codes? OCI’s consultants can assist you at any level by giving you and your team direct communication of how quality is going on your project. You can have peace of mind knowing that certified quality experts are directly involved in your project.

For contractors, OCI helps make your team shine in front of the owner and shows them your dedication to and investment in quality. Our consultants dig in and work hand in hand with you and your subcontractors to see that life safety and structural aspects are being done correctly and efficiently. This helps your team stay on schedule, reduce rework costs, pass 3rd party inspections, and improves your company’s performance image. Having OCI as a resource helps you successfully navigate issues with your client, subcontractors, and inspectors.

Design professionals are often spread thin and have limited time for submittal review or on-site observations. OCI can assist and be your eyes and ears on-site to help you truly understand if your design is being properly implemented and building codes are being followed.

Testing/Inspection Agencies are a key component of the project’s success as the entire team relies upon them to maintain inspector certifications, produce accurate reports, and work busy contractor schedules. OCI assists these agencies with inspector and report training, report review, staff augmentation, and overall consultation regarding inspection protocol and code requirements.

Our consultants are experts with experience and certifications for the following life-safety and structural aspects of your project. We are certified as inspectors through ICC, AWS, ACI, IFC, and more.

Our Services

Soil and Earthwork

are found beneath every project and are unique to every site. OCI can help the team properly implement geotechnical specifications for mass grading, compaction, as well as deep or shallow foundations. We use publications from ICC and ASCE to help the team achieve building code requirements.

Structural Masonry

walls are built with TMS code requirements. OCI helps with everything from shop drawing and plan review to observing rebar and grout placement.

Reinforced Concrete

is one of the most widely used and versatile construction materials and plays some role in nearly every structure’s foundation or structural frame. OCI’s in-depth knowledge of ICC, ACI, and PTI (for post-tensioned concrete) code books helps your team from start to finish.

Structural Steel

is fabricated, erected, and welded per AISC requirements and AWS code publications. Let our steel experts and Certified Welding Inspectors help your team meet these complex quality requirements.

Seismic Bracing

depends on the seismic zone and design requirements, but many mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) and other contractors are subject to bracing their materials in accordance with ASCE 7, NFPA 13, and the IBC. Let OCI help you do this right and prioritize life safety in seeing that these braces are properly installed and engaged during an earthquake event.

Firestopping

is installed at each penetration and joint for fire rated walls. OCI’s consultants are certified as inspectors for both ICC and IFC and are here to help your team keep fire rated walls intact and effective during a fire event.

Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing (MEP)

As trade partners install MEP work, our ICC-certified consultants work alongside them to see that connections, supports, equipment, and overall installation comply with NEC, IMC, IFGC, and IPC codes and approved shop drawings. This prepares the team for successful AHJ and rough-in inspections, commissioning handoffs, and eventual energization.

Quality Program and SOP Development

Whether you’re an owner, contractor, or inspection agency, our team knows how to produce, implement, and oversee effective quality programs that are tailored specifically for your project and needs. We also develop standard operating procedures (SOP) that help align the team and efficiently execute quality throughout the project.
