Commercial

Commercial projects move fast and the ground is usually the first unknown. Vivid Engineering Group supports developers, property owners, architects, and general contractors from the earliest stages of a deal — environmental site assessments and geotechnical investigations that tell you what you are buying and what it will take to build on — through construction, with the third-party special inspections and materials testing that building departments and lenders require before a certificate of occupancy is issued.

Our geotechnical engineers prepare investigation reports with foundation, slab, pavement, and earthwork recommendations tailored to Colorado’s expansive and collapsible soils, and they stay involved through construction to observe excavations, verify bearing conditions, and address what the borings didn’t show. Our environmental staff deliver Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments and support entitlement work with the environmental documentation lenders and municipalities expect.

During construction, our certified inspectors and accredited laboratories provide special inspections of soils, reinforced concrete, masonry, and structural steel, along with the concrete, asphalt, and compaction testing needed to close out site work. Reports go out the same day the work is observed, so your schedule is never waiting on the testing firm.
