CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN - Key Persons
Mr. Gaskari's experience provides a large breadth of experience encompassing his professional experience in forensic engineering and construction administration and management. His forensic engineering experience includes forensic assessment of existing buildings in relation to the structural elements, and in the way these elements behave related to the underlying soil conditions, identifying if deficiencies exist in the structural elements and/or if deficiencies exist in the underlying soil conditions. Based on the findings, Mr. Gaskari provides recommendations for repair and is able to provide detail design of repairs (including permitting and/or repair observations). He also routinely performs civil engineering design, structural analysis, and/or detailed design of buildings for both residential and commercial projects. Mr. Gaskari interacts often with building officials to obtain final approval of design and/or the construction documents. He is an expert in the structural design including various types of foundations, framing systems for various construction materials, simple to complex retaining walls, and floor slabs for any geological conditions. He has solved many complex site grading, drainage and/or moisture related issues associated with the building construction.
Mr. Azizian's experience includes structural analysis, and/or detailed design for buildings, for both residential and commercial projects. He interacts often with building officials to obtain final approval of design and/or final approval of the construction documents. Additionally, he has prepared conceptual development plans, schedules and estimates; supervised and coordinated the preparation of plans and specifications of projects; interviewed and selected suppliers; negotiated fees and prepared supplier agreements. Mr. Azizian has directed consultants work in preparation of plans, specifications, cost estimate and environmental document. Interacted with clients, consultants, and regulatory agencies staff throughout design and construction phase of the project. His construction administration experience includes the supervision and management of engineers in their responsibility to administer construction contracts; performed construction inspections; coordinated and supervised the activities of the contractors; reviewed construction schedules; and conducted construction meetings. He has also provided technical support; negotiated and resolved construction claims and problems; acted as a liaison with public agencies, contractors and consultants; developed streamlining process of construction cost proposal to facilitate change order negotiation.
