Learn more about the role and responsibilities of the engineer on construction sites and how the lawyers at Fiset Légal can help you.
The civil engineer by definition is the professional who takes care of everything related, directly or indirectly, to the engineering of the structures of a construction project. He therefore cooperates with all parties involved in the project.
The engineers supervise, direct and advise throughout the duration of the construction works. He therefore has many responsibilities and his importance on the site is undeniable. However, his role gives him many legal obligations towards the general and specialized contractors who give him work.
To be recognized as a civil engineer in Quebec, engineers must be members of the Order of Engineers of Quebec.
A lawyer for civil engineers is therefore the ideal person to provide you with all the information relating to the engineering profession, laws, obligations and exclusions of liability.
- Respond to calls for tenders from public and private general contractors.
- Design, plan, operate and supervise the construction site in general.
- Consider the environmental, social and economic dimensions in its management of the construction project.
- Collaborate directly with the architect for the design of the plans.
- Manage the major works of the construction project with the contractor and subcontractors.
- Establish and enforce safety rules according to the standards in force.
- Choose the right construction techniques according to the work to be done.
- Validate all calculations for the implementation of the site before the launch of the project.
- The civil engineer is presumed responsible for the loss of the work for 5 years after completion of work if it is an error or a lack of supervision or expertise. He can only release himself from this responsibility by proving that the defect does not result from an error or a failure in his supervision.
- The civil engineer is responsible for existing defects upon receipt or discovered in the year after the end of the work. He will also not be able to get out of it without proving that these defects are not the direct result of a failure in its supervision, its direction or the expertise it has provided.
