Construction Administration

Construction Administration (CA) is the bridge between the approved plans and the finished facility. We provide active, hands-on administration that ensures your project is built to spec, on schedule, and within budget.

How We Deliver Value

When an RFI (Request for Information) hits our desk, we don’t just forward it; we analyze the root cause and propose a constructable solution. This proactive approach minimizes standby time and keeps crews moving. On the Fresno Southeast Surface Water Treatment Facility, managing the administrative flow for a $250 million project was critical to maintaining the aggressive schedule.

RFI Management & Field Solutions

We pride ourselves on rapid RFI response times. Whether clarifying a rebar detail or adjusting a pipeline alignment at the Wasco Stored Water Recovery Unit, we provide clear, engineering-backed direction that resolves the issue without compromising the design integrity or the project timeline.

Submittal Review & Quality Control

We perform rigorous submittal reviews to ensure that the pumps, valves, and materials arriving on site match the contract documents. For the Anaergia Rialto Bioenergy Facility, ensuring that complex energy recovery equipment met strict performance specifications was a key part of our administrative role.

Field Observation & Inspection

Our team makes regular site visits to observe progress and verify compliance. At the Silver Lake Reservoir Replacement, ensuring that the complex grading and structural work adhered to the plans required constant field presence.

Commissioning & Project Closeout

We guide projects through the startup and commissioning phase, verifying that systems function as a whole.

For the City of Bakersfield TCP Mitigation, coordinating the startup of 34 separate treatment sites required a disciplined closeout process.

Administration with a Builder’s Mindset

W. M. Lyles Co. brings a unique perspective to Construction Administration: we think like a contractor but advocate for the owner. We understand the pressure of the critical path and the cost of delay.

We ensure that the facility you paid for is the facility you get.
