SECTION 3- THE SELECTION OF THE CIVIL ENGINEER
3.1 GENERAL
The selection and engagement of a Civil Engineer is one of the most important decisions to be made
during the development of an engineering project. No two Civil Engineers have the same training,
experience, capabilities, personnel, workloads, and particular abilities. Selection of the most qualified
Civil Engineer for a specific project will result in a well-planned and designed, economical, and successful
project.
This selection presents what experience has shown to be the best and, therefore, the recommended
procedure for the engagement of a Civil Engineer.
3.2 BASIS FOR SELECTION
The client should establish administrative policy and criteria for the selection of qualified Civil Engineers
for particular projects. The client’s first stem is to define the proposed scope of the project. In some cases,
this may be a general statemen of the performance requirements of the project. At the other times, the
tasks to be performed maybe individually identified and defined. By clearly defining the services which the
Civil Engineer is to furnish, the client can accurately judge whether or not the Civil Engineer is best
equipped to provide them.
which increases the overall business costs of consulting Civil Engineering and ultimately of the
client
