McClave Engineering adheres to the following steps to provide clients the most efficient design, delivered within a timely manner and within the project’s budgetary constraints. By working consistently through this methodology that spans the entire project duration, McClave Engineering is able to keep the client updated on the progress of their project at all points of the engagement. Most importantly, this methodology empowers McClave Engineering to respond pro-actively to any project issues.


(1) Projects are assigned to a Principal of McClave Engineering who is solely responsible, and will build a team of professionals to support the project. Responsibilities include coordinating the different phases of the project, working with other consultants and being the point contact for the client. The Principal will also make himself available to the client to answer questions, and handle any emergencies that may arise during the project.

(2) Concept Design is formulated. During this phase, we will interact with the client, other consultants, and governmental agencies to ensure our client has a complete understanding of the design, and that it is within their budgetary constraints.

(3) Schematic, Final Plans, and Specifications Documentation are produced. During this phase, the design concept is confirmed with the client, and budgetary constraints are reviewed again.

(4) After the design drawings are completed and bids have been received, McClave Engineering will interview the successful bidders in an effort to determine whether anything has been omitted from their proposal

(5) While in the construction phase, McClave Engineering will have a representative attend all meetings to resolve any engineering problems that may arise. During this phase, we will work as the client advocate.

(6) Before the completion of the construction, McClave Engineering will assure that all requirements of the contract have been met. McClave Engineering will also design a start-up schedule for new systems, and provide the client with manuals for all new systems.
