With decades of experience working with contractors and tradespersons, Fortress staff understands the construction process. As a result, we know how to navigate the sometimes fast, sometimes slow- paced construction environment while responding to it’s ever- changing demands. Changes during construction are common. Our responsiveness is unique. Fortress will actively listen, engage with contractors and field personnel to focus on providing timely and efficient engineering designs.
Furthermore, Fortress is committed to doing everything that we do, with the highest level of integrity. In our communication with our clients. In our adherence to the building code. In the fees we charge for our work. We do it all with integrity.
With the decades of experience of our staff members, working on jobsites and working through challenging assignments, we have learned that creativity and ingenuity is often needed to meet the tight restrictions on projects. As the building codes become more complex and as the congestion within structures increase by the day, ingenuity is a pre-requisite to finding the necessary solutions to keep the projects moving. However, ingenuity without pragmatism is inefficient and costs our clients. Every day we challenge ourselves to find the balance necessary for win-win solutions which benefit all of our stakeholders.
Knowing that projects are under tighter schedules and subject to a myriad of delays, engineers need to meet the demands of the contractor. At Fortress, we pride ourselves on working efficiently and giving our clients the highest attention. Too often, engineers have been known to cover and run from the calls and emails of their clients. At Fortress, we run into the challenges, to address them head on and provide our clients the attentiveness that gets the job done!
