United Professional Engineering (UPE) custom tailors its teams to meet the specific needs of every client, ensuring the client’s best interests are kept at the forefront.
We are determined to provide the most innovative construction administration available in the industry and rigorously educate and train our staff to meet that high standard.
The assigned UPE construction team establishes, prioritizes, coordinates and manages strict guidelines for the entire project team (Owner, Designer & Builder) to follow to meet the client’s goals and objectives in all areas of concern: quality, cost and time.
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.

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.
