TERMS & CONDITIONS

WILSON & GIRGENTI, P.A.

Professional Engineering Services Framework

Wilson & Girgenti, PA (“WG”) provides licensed professional engineering services across multiple jurisdictions in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws governing the practice of engineering.

This Engineering Services Framework outlines the general scope, regulatory standards, and professional parameters under which WG performs its services. Project-specific services are defined in individual Proposals and Statements of Work (“SOW”), which incorporate this Framework by reference unless otherwise stated.

All services are performed consistent with the professional standard of care ordinarily exercised by licensed engineers practicing under similar circumstances at the same time and in the same locality. No warranty, express or implied, is made regarding regulatory approval, construction performance, or third-party actions.

Engineering design is based upon codes, standards, and regulatory requirements in effect at the time of permit submission, as adopted by the applicable Authority Having Jurisdiction (“AHJ”). Changes in code, interpretation, regulatory requirements, or jurisdictional directives may require additional services.

This Framework is intended to provide clarity regarding service boundaries, regulatory compliance, and roles and responsibilities. It does not expand or modify the specific scope defined within an executed Proposal or Agreement.

Governing Codes and Regulatory Compliance
