You are all correct in your assumptions. This contract is run by four parties. Owner, Designer, Construction Manager, General Contractor. Every one's contract is between the Owner and the individual party. While I can push the Designer to re-issue drawings, it comes down to budget and what...
I am currently working for the CM on a massive project in which many RFI's have come from the Contractor and many RFC's have come from the CM team. We have had some problems coordinating revised drawings that are issued to the Contractor. We are trying to push the Designer to revise and...
I'm in CT. They don't specify that experience starts after the FE. I took the FE in PA (missed it by 1 point) when I was still in school. Because I spent the rest of my time working for contractors in a different state, I never thought I would be going for my PE. Well, I work for a...
The application is filled out and on it's way. I listed every thing I've done in the past 10 years, including my experience in co-op positions. Now, all I can do is wait and see. Wish me luck... If all else fails, I will be taking the EIT in Massachussettes - where the regulations aren't...
About 10 years ago, I went on an interview because I was frustrated with my current job. I wasn't really looking, but as I sat across from the VP and he asked me what my salary requirements were, I didn't have a clue what to say. I didn't know what the potential could be and I felt underpaid...
Thank you StructuralEIT for the explanation. You are correct in that I took a ton of Structural classes and only three or four classes in Environmental. I, like you, took calc up through diff eq's as well and if I remember correctly, it was required to take three levels of calc as well. What...
Connecticut's Record requires me to fill out a Record of Experience. It states, "Qualifying experience is only that work experience related to Engineering or Land Surveying." I don't know if it gets more vague than that. I have asked others in my company and they give me catch phrases to use...
My new job comes with a lot of pressure to get your PE License. I have spent the past 12 years working for construction companies in varying positions - project engineer, project manager, inspector, estimator. I do have a degree in Civil Eng. Tech.
My problem is this... To take the FE and...
The mobilization charge for the work he is doing is the same, and he's agreed to that. The work will not be done open cut either way. In the first instance, he would have had to install 24" steel pipe under a highway. In the second, he is installing it in an existing steel pipe.
Well, unfortunately for me I can't put in a contingency because this is a deduct change order - so the work is not actually going to be done. Secondly, as much as I would like to grant him his productivity rate, it is his job to make this cost as low as possible, it is mine to protect my client...
I am currently in negotiations with a contractor about the price of horizontal boring for the installation of 24" steel casing pipe. He's telling me that he can do 40 LF per day, but I am skeptical. The soil is Class SM and wet, but not quite to the water table. We are going approximately 200...
