Assistance with Contractor Selection
Undertaking a new construction project can be very stressful and requires many tasks. Worrying about choosing the right contractor should not be one of them.
UPE is here to assist you in finding and selecting contractors by using a systemic approach to ensure that contractors and contracted personnel comply with standards and conditions outlined in the contract.
Review of Payment Application
During construction, payment requested is not always equal to the equity of the project. In order to minimize the risk between both parties, UPE can maintain the balance between completed work and capital dispersed.
The financial health of a project often harbors completion according to schedule. We review every payment application to ensure that billing is submitted based on the completed quantities.
At UPE, we also work alongside clients and contractors to manage required paperwork, insurance certificates, and lien releases.
Building Permit Assistance
Upon the completion of construction documents, building permits must be filed with the appropriate governmental jurisdiction.
These permits are often rejected because the building departments interpretations of the code are too adversarial to the client’s interests.
At UPE, we offer assistance in navigating the codes and regulations to expedite the permitting process. We are familiar with the different processes of submitting permits to cities and counties around South Florida.
We will work on your behalf to ensure that permits are approved, and the project is started in a timely manner.

He arrived right on time and was very thorough with his inspection. He was also very willing to discuss the issue with the necessary people to solve the problem that I was having.
I had a client that had some settling on a retaining wall. They called me from the site to make sure that we were on the same page. I had a report shortly after in the mail.
