Our Services

EV Charging is the way of the future and Morris Engineering can be with you every step of the way…

We are available to work with you to review your Association’s needs, goals, and budgets for EV Charging. We can evaluate your property’s current electric infrastructure and provide options for implementing a scalable and updatable system. We can work with management to develop comprehensive policies and practical standards, plans and details for charger installations.

As applications for EV Charger installations come in, we can assist the Association in review and response. We can also review installations to assure compliance with the Association’s requirements.

If the Association is considering infrastructure improvements to support EV Charger installations, we can provide Design Plans, Specifications or a Request for Proposal for the work.

Morris Engineering can also assist your association in identifying and applying for grants, rebates and credits that may be available to help fund installation of EV Charging systems.

Or, just invite us to a meeting to discuss what EV Readiness is all about.

Any time that control of an Association, transfers from the developer to the Association’s board of directors or to its management company, it is important to obtain a professional evaluation of the condition of the property.

Morris Engineering performs investigations for new condominium and homeowners’ associations to determine whether the development was built according to specifications contained in its public offering statement, whether it conforms to applicable codes and standards, and whether the new community got everything from the developer that it was entitled to get.

Reserve Studies are a long-term budget planning tool that evaluates the remaining useful life/life cycle of an Association’s common elements and estimates the replacement costs of each component.

When Morris Engineering undertakes a reserve study, our primary purpose is to help the Association forecast the useful life of their common elements and the probable replacement cost for each element at the end of its useful life. We then develop funding recommendations to bring reserves to adequate levels, thus ensuring funds are available to cover future replacement costs when they arise.

Deferred maintenance schedules are a long-term budget planning tool that estimates the maintenance costs of an Association’s components and evaluates the life cycles of those components.

Morris Engineering inspects a building or complex to identify elements that require periodic maintenance. Based on our findings, we make recommendations and help the association board or building owner develop a schedule for maintaining each component, estimate the cost of doing the maintenance work, and establish a budget to cover deferred maintenance work and an annual budget for maintenance going forward.

Leaks can lead to serious water and mold damage.

Morris Engineering inspects areas of reported leaks to determine the source of water infiltration, the leak path and the repair or replacement required to mitigate the issue.

The answer may require only a simple site inspection, or it can entail extensive study and testing to document the causes of leaks. Our investigation can include air and water testing, thermal imaging, testing with a moisture meter, weather monitoring, and surveys of homeowners to determine when and where leaks occur.

Morris Engineering uses drones to inspect buildings and roofs in conjunction with our more complex leak investigations. This may include mapping leaks on building drawings to help determine patterns. We attempt to determine whether it is an isolated leak, or if it’s a condition common to every home in the community.

Morris Engineering evaluates common elements to develop a cost-effective repair and replacement program that meets a community’s or property owner’s goals and budget requirements. Common element repair or replacement may be necessary at the end of a component’s useful life, or because of improper original installation.

When an Association needs to go to bid on a repair or replacement project, Morris Engineering helps by defining the project scope and providing the specifications the contractor must consider in formulating a bid.

Once we have completed the common element repair and replacement program, we can develop Specifications which would include specific plans and construction details, material requirements, contractor payment terms, schedule parameters, contractual obligations, etc. These requirements tell responding contractors what they must do and how they will be paid. Our Specifications help assure that Association will receive “apples-to-apples” bids that they can compare line by line.

During a construction project, Morris Engineering is available to provide full- or part-time construction observation and administration to help confirm that the Association is getting what is outlined in the Specifications, and the contractor is performing the work in accordance with codes and industry standards. We review and address any unforeseen issues that may arise, monitor the quantity of unit price work items, and record daily work progress.

Morris Engineering’s construction administration services can include a review of contractor invoices, invoice payment recommendations, project budget updates, and
a final completion project summary.

Morris Engineering offers full structural design services for new and existing structures. We offer structural inspections and evaluations of existing steel, wood, concrete, and masonry structures, including but not limited to cracked or settling foundation walls, sagging floors, wood or masonry retaining wall issues, water intrusion issues, and truss repairs.

To account for the altered hydrology when a site is developed, a stormwater management system (SWMS), comprised of a series of components, is implemented to control the release of stormwater from the property. A majority of SWMS components are located underground and most often forgotten or disregarded.

Regular inspections and preventative maintenance are required to ensure the system and appurtenant site improvements function as originally designed. Failure to do so can lead to blockage within the system, soil erosion, discharge of excessive suspended solids which can increase the risk for flooding, sinkhole formation and slope movement, and/or physical damage or failure of SWMS components. These deficiencies can be costly to correct or repair.

Our team of engineering has extensive knowledge and experience in the inspection, maintenance, and design of SWMS. Whether it is general preventative maintenance or the development of complex repairs, we can service the needs of you and your property. We are available to provide an inspection of the various SWMS components including, underground detention and infiltration basins, dry wells, soils, and oil separation chambers, filtration systems, bio-retention/detention/retention ponds, catch basins and manholes, headwalls and outfall dispersion (grass and rip-rap swales).

Based on the existing SWMS we can develop Repair Details, Retrofit Components, and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Manuals for the owner. The O&M manual will provide recommended inspection intervals and regular maintenance procedures to ensure that the system continues to function as intended. Whether maintenance or repairs, we can work with the property owner to acquire required permits from the local jurisdiction and NJDEP.

Morris Engineering provides a project review service to owners in which our team will inspect work at various stages of construction. Before the owner makes a progress payment to the contractor based on a certain contractual milestone, the owner asks us to evaluate whether that milestone legitimately has been met.

Our progress review will include assessing the project requirements for that milestone, evaluating the completed work, and making a payment recommendation to the owner.

Morris Engineering develops cost estimates for clients who typically want a second opinion on the cost to build or renovate a residential property. A client will come to us with one or more estimates from contractors and ask us to provide a comparison figure, which we are happy to do.

When leaks occur in a building, the moisture creates conditions conducive to the growth of mold and fungus. Morris Engineering deals with many repair and correction projects that include a mold component.

We work with a qualified mold remediation partner, as well as an indoor air quality testing expert, to remediate mold in commercial, industrial and residential buildings.

If a house has a fire, Morris Engineering will go in immediately afterward to help stabilize the building. One of our engineers will work with a contractor and provide guidance as to what requires shoring, where it is safe or not safe to work, and what to do to ensure conditions do not worsen.

In any disaster (e.g., a flood, an explosion), our engineers will develop a short-term plan for what can be salvaged, determine whether the building can be reoccupied, and develop plans to rebuild damaged portions of the building.

Morris Engineering is also available to represent the owner during reconstruction, provide restoration inspections, review contractor submittals, and make payment recommendations.
