Constructability Assessment
ODS has the experience required to determine which technique or system needs to be used for each site. This expertise allows design teams to better plan for preferred construction methods by understanding how structures are actually built. As a result, you can avoid costly RFIs and requests for design changes during construction.
Preconstruction Services
While Oscar Orduno, Inc. handles the majority of preconstruction operations, it is common for owners and developers to contract for the engineering of temporary retention systems. Specifically, these projects often require a temporary easement, license agreement, or coordination as the structure relates to the sub-grade footprint.

Conceptual Design & Project Planning
ODS preconstruction services assist owners, developers, or construction managers with early project planning. Specifically, we help when deep excavations, specialty retaining walls, or slope stabilization are anticipated.
Addressing these items in advance of construction is highly beneficial. As a result, you can ensure that budgets are in line with expectations before contractors are involved. This saves both time and frustration during the solicitation phase.

Preliminary Engineering Services & Permit Assistance
Familiarity with local municipalities is key when planning below-grade construction in urban settings. ODS knows exactly what is required for permitting to ensure owners are getting the most efficient design as quickly as possible.
ODS provides preliminary plans and calculations well in advance of the construction schedule. This effort prevents delays due to multiple design changes or submittal revisions. Ultimately, our work accommodates the specific limitations of right-of-way or adjacent property usage around the site.
