Engineering & Design Assurance

Technical review that turns design information into a defensible engineering decision.

Capability overview

Engineering & Design Assurance

FORMĚS supports project teams with design review, technical due diligence, engineering studies, technical assistance, geotechnical inputs, material feasibility, supplier assessment and BIM management.

Capability set

What each service actually contributes.

The services below are not interchangeable labels. Each answers a different technical question and is scoped according to the evidence, project stage and required level of assurance.

01

Design Review

Engineer & Verify
Use this service

Structured technical review of design bases, calculations, drawings, specifications and interfaces to identify gaps before they become delivery problems.

When it becomes useful

Used when a design needs independent challenge, multidisciplinary coordination, compliance review, constructability input or verification before approval or construction.

Typical technical outputs
  • Review comments / action register
  • Verification memorandum or report
  • Technical recommendations
02

Technical Due Diligence & Audit

Engineer & Verify
Use this service

Evidence-led review of available technical information, asset condition, design assumptions and project controls to expose material technical risks and information gaps.

When it becomes useful

Relevant before acquisition, investment, major modification, recovery planning or any decision that depends on the reliability of existing technical information.

Typical technical outputs
  • Due-diligence findings
  • Technical risk / gap register
  • Prioritized follow-up actions
03

Technical Assistance

Engineer & Verify
Use this service

Targeted multidisciplinary engineering support for technical queries, design interfaces, field issues, change decisions and specialist problem solving.

When it becomes useful

Used where a project or operating team needs additional engineering judgement without appointing a separate full-scope design consultant.

Typical technical outputs
  • Technical responses / memoranda
  • Engineering recommendations
  • Interface and action closure support
04

Geotechnical Studies & Survey

Engineer & Verify
Use this service

Site and ground-condition investigation support used to establish the geotechnical basis, constraints and uncertainties that affect design and construction decisions.

When it becomes useful

Relevant for new development, foundation concerns, earthworks, slope or settlement issues and projects where available ground information is incomplete.

Typical technical outputs
  • Ground / site information basis
  • Geotechnical findings
  • Design and investigation recommendations

Delivery / qualification noteSpecialist investigation, survey and laboratory activities may be delivered with qualified partners where project-specific equipment or accreditation is required.

05

Construction Material Analysis & Feasibility

Engineer & Verify
Use this service

Engineering evaluation of proposed or existing construction materials to understand suitability, performance, constraints and implications for the intended application.

When it becomes useful

Used when material selection, deterioration, substitution, compatibility or performance needs to be technically justified before procurement or remedial action.

Typical technical outputs
  • Material suitability assessment
  • Testing / evidence interpretation
  • Technical recommendations

Delivery / qualification noteLaboratory testing may be coordinated through qualified laboratories where accredited testing is required.

06

Supplier Feasibility Assessment

Engineer & Verify
Use this service

Technical assessment of a supplier, fabricator or specialist vendor against the required capability, quality controls, documentation and delivery expectations.

When it becomes useful

Relevant during sourcing, vendor qualification, critical procurement or when supplier capability creates a material project risk.

Typical technical outputs
  • Supplier technical assessment
  • Capability / gap findings
  • Qualification recommendations
07

BIM Management

Digitalize & Coordinate
Use this service

Governance of model standards, coordination, information requirements, issue management and model exchanges so BIM remains usable as an engineering and delivery tool.

When it becomes useful

Used on multidisciplinary projects where model quality, coordination, naming, information exchanges or handover requirements need active control.

Typical technical outputs
  • BIM execution / coordination controls
  • Model review and issue records
  • Controlled information exchanges
08

Seismic Technical Assistance & Audit

Assess & Protect Assets
Use this service

Engineering review of seismic design basis, demand, capacity, vulnerabilities and available records to support risk-informed technical decisions.

When it becomes useful

Relevant for existing structures, change of use, critical facilities, design review or assets where seismic assumptions need independent verification.

Typical technical outputs
  • Seismic review findings
  • Vulnerability / verification assessment
  • Further analysis or retrofit recommendations
