    PE References

    Check vendors who call on you, also. It's rare, but if you have collaborated with a supplier where the contact was a PE and had an opportunity to see your decision making skills in action, I'm sure he/she would be glad to give you a reference.

    P.E. licensure

    Revising Drawings for Construction

    Don’t know the players, or the politics, but it sounds like a little profit by change order going on here, and I can’t tell it that is just opportunistic, abusive, or justified. Here are a few thoughts I’ve always used to lead the engineering and design team. During engineering/design, revise...

    A Conversation

    Great Post. One additional analogy to make with regard to training, and team building: I often use the analogy of the all star team. Excellent individually, but have never played together, and can therefore loose to a team of less capable individuals, but because they have played (practiced)...
