Description of Technical Process Project Management Plan Neglia sets the project tone for urgency at the preconstruction meeting. We continuously track project quantities with our NICET certified construction and 40 Hour Hazwoper observers and inspectors. We generate the engineering certifications for payment recommendations to the client and try to keep the contractor and client within agency payment cycles.

Thanks to our staff's wealth of technical capabilities and experience, Neglia Group is uniquely qualified to oversee every phase of development for all types of engineering projects. By paying close diligence, we help ensure the final project is in accordance with plans and specifications, and that payments to the contractor truly reflect the work performed. Our expert staff of civil engineers, construction managers, resident engineers and inspectors coordinate each stage of construction-from initial survey through completion. Our computerized field operations promote accuracy and facilitate on-the-spot revisions. Onsite Supervision On-site supervision consists of choreographing the staging needs of a project while keeping in mind client specific preferences and seasonal variations with respect to construction and facility demands. Many on- site issues and concerns can be worked out at the preconstruction meeting and staging can be adjusted on an hourly basis if needed. Coordination Coordination and supervision with contractors and their tradesmen, as well as with the Authority’s Departments - is at the level of the daily tasks of Neglia’s on-site
