What We Do

Our Service Lines

Rich Engineering provides engineering and project management services at every stage of a project, from conception through final acceptance.

Service 01

Program Management

Strategic oversight and coordination of multi-project programs to ensure consistent delivery standards, budget accountability, and alignment with owner goals. Rich Engineering provides program-level reporting, risk tracking, and stakeholder communication to give owners a clear picture across their entire portfolio.

Service 02

Construction Management

On-site and owner's representative construction management services for VDOT, NCDOT, and municipal projects throughout the construction process. Our construction managers monitor progress, resolve field issues, coordinate with designers and contractors, manage submittals and RFIs, and keep projects moving toward successful completion.

Service 03

Construction Engineering & Inspection (CEI)

Responsible charge engineering, daily construction inspection, materials documentation, and project controls for VDOT and municipal construction contracts. Our licensed engineers and certified inspectors maintain the highest standards of documentation and quality oversight throughout construction.

Service 04

Construction Quality Assurance / Quality Control

Independent QA management and senior QC inspection services verifying that materials, workmanship, and completed work meet contract requirements. We develop and implement quality control plans, perform acceptance testing oversight, and provide detailed nonconformance documentation and resolution.

Service 05

Roadway and Maintenance of Traffic Design

Roadway and maintenance of traffic design services that keep construction projects on schedule while maintaining safety for workers and the traveling public.

Service 06

Project Scheduling / Schedule Impact Analysis

CPM schedule development, review, and analysis for complex construction projects. We create baseline schedules, perform progress updates, and conduct time impact analyses (TIA) to evaluate schedule delay claims, identify critical path impacts, and support contract administration decisions.

Service 07

Claims Analysis & Mitigation

Expert preparation, analysis, and evaluation of contractor claims involving delay, loss of productivity, scope changes, and differing site conditions. Rich Engineering's principals have extensive experience representing owners and contractors in claim development, negotiation, and dispute resolution, including litigation support.

Service 08

Cost Estimating

Detailed and conceptual cost estimates for transportation and municipal infrastructure projects at any stage — from planning-level parametric estimates through construction-ready quantity takeoffs. Our estimates are grounded in current market knowledge and supported by thorough documentation.

Service 09

Constructability & Biddability Reviews

Pre-bid and pre-construction reviews that identify design conflicts, coordination issues, ambiguous specifications, and opportunities to reduce construction risk. These reviews help owners avoid costly field problems and change orders by resolving issues before construction begins.
