They also keep your indoor growing facility or greenhouse project on schedule and within a stated budget.
Owner’s Engineers are different from the Engineer of Record for an indoor cultivation facility design. They are also not the General Contractor or Greenhouse Contractor. Owner’s Engineers are sub-contracted entities that work directly with the Owner to deliver a project as desired. This means sourcing relevant engineering consultants and construction partners and working with them through the development process. It also means reviewing designs and submittals to ensure compliance with technical specifications and delivery of stated quality programs.
