Popov Engineers, Inc. understands that academic institutions offer special challenges to design professionals.

Among these is the complexity of performing studies, planning, pre-construction and construction services within an active campus environment. The Clients organizational structure and communication protocol can also be complex and multi-layered to include administrators, user groups, facilities personnel, and public and private donors. An additional challenge is the actual process of submitting documents for approval to the Authorities Having Jurisdiction such as the Division of the State Architect (DSA). This can be a daunting task in itself that can best be alleviated through the use of design professionals with proven experience and first-hand knowledge of this critical project milestone. Understanding these dynamic factors on projects that demand fast track responses and extraordinary coordination can go a long way in preventing adverse effects to project schedules.
