These are ormed as a way of observing, checking, and if necessary, correcting procedures g'e related to the implementation of the structural design and intent.

The PR shall not be directly involved in the Project in any other capacity ‘ond shall be qualified to provide the required service. she PR. with the knowledge and consent of the ST EOR of a project, reviews the analysis and design of the project with the view of checking the veracity of the design criteria ghd strength adequacy of the structure. Notwithstanding the conduct of the structural engineeting design peer review, the ST EOR remains the sole professional responsible over the structural engineering design. ‘According to the latest edition of the NSCP and as recommended by other intemotionally accepted codes and manuals such as the ASCE Manval 73, not alll projects are required to be peer reviewed. However, the conduct of a peer review remains o prerogative of the Client in cases where it is nol mandated by the NSCP. To the PR, the design peer review is a PARTICULAR SERVICE. The PRis then expected to provide the full scope of an independent reviewer and be adequately compensated fort. To the ST EOR, the design peer review exercise may be classified as a BASIC SERVICE oF co COMPLEMENTARY SERVICE depending on the circumstances reauiring the exercise. It an integral part of the full BASIC SERVICE if the project or the structure falls under any of the NSCP- recommended types of structures that. by default, are needed to be peer reviewed, the other hand, if the project or the structure does not fall under such types of iclures and yet, the Client exercises its prerogative to have the project or structure er reviewed, the exercise is treated as a ‘COMPLEMENTARY SERVICE or on additional Scope to the BASIC SERVICE. The ST EOR is then expected to cooperate and participate inthe independent reviewer and be adequately compensated for the added scope. The CSTE, the ST EOR, or any member of the team of the CSTE or the ST EQR involved in any stage of the Design Phose shall not be allowed to aci as the PR of the project.

Iisa method to deliver a project in which the design and construction services are contracted by a single entily known as the design-bullder or design-build contractor."! The design-builder is offen a general contractor or a property developer that has its own onstruction arm. It usually enters into a partnership or a joint venture/s with a design team composed of the various architectural and engineering trades that are required to carry-out the design of the structure. When the structural engineer of the design-build team, acting as the ST EOR of the project. remains an independent entity from the design-builder and the design-build Partnership oF joint venture, and, is not an employee of the design-builder. then, the structural engineer is considered as the CSTE. The CSTE may then offer all types of structural engineering consulting services that are required for the successful and complete delivery of his/her work scope and be compensated accordinaly. When the structural engineer of the design-build team is an employee of the design- builder but is required by the design-builder (I.e. employer) to sign and seal drawings, calculations, and technical specifications, then, the structural engineer-employee also acts as the ST EOR of the project. As an ST EOR, the structural engineer is entitled to compensation which is over and above his salary as an employee of the design-builder. The additional compensation is supposed to cover for the professional responsibilties and liabilities that the ST EOR fakes on once he/she signs and seals documents for the Gesign- builder.
