Why eGridSync

Independent review that holds the owner’s line

You bring in an owner’s engineer when the technical decision is too important to leave to the contractor alone.

Our process

From project inputs to decision-ready output.

Design review and technical advisory support for owners and developers — with additional procurement, construction, or commissioning support where included in the agreed scope.

01

Scope and criteria

What’s being reviewed, against which standards, and what constitutes a finding versus an observation.

02

Document review

Drawings, studies, specifications, and vendor submittals against the basis of design.

03

Findings register

Each item with severity, technical basis, and recommended resolution.

04

Resolution tracking

Findings tracked to closure with evidence, not just marked as addressed.

05

Commissioning oversight

Test plan review, witness testing, and as-left record verification where included in the agreed scope.

owners engineer FAQ

Questions before the work begins.

01What does an owner’s engineer actually do?

Represents the owner’s technical interest on a project being executed by someone else.

02When should we bring in an owner’s engineer?

At basis of design, if possible. The findings that save the most money are the ones raised before drawings are issued for construction.

03Isn’t this duplicating the EPC’s engineering?

No — it’s a different question. The EPC engineer answers “does this design work and can we build it.” The owner’s engineer answers “does this design meet what the owner specified”.

04Can you review a study another firm produced?

Yes. Independent study review can be included where the agreed scope requires verification of an interconnection result, network-upgrade exposure, or technical basis.
