Contract & Mobilization
Review contract scope for completeness, issue purchase orders, and onboard contractors with clear coordination expectations.
Execution & Oversight
Monitor contractor progress, review submittals and drawings, and track open items through to closure.
Commissioning & Closeout

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you write the contracts?
Legal contract terms are the client's domain. Skyler ensures technical requirements, scope of work, and project coordination provisions are clearly defined before award — so the contract actually protects the project.
Can you manage vendors you didn't originally select?
Yes. Stepping in mid-project to take over vendor or contractor coordination is common. The first step is always a scope and status review to establish the current state of commitments.
What does commissioning oversight include?
Skyler coordinates pre-commissioning walkdowns, tracks punch list closure, oversees functional testing, and compiles the commissioning documentation package. The depth of involvement scales to the project.
Do you have experience with specialized industrial equipment vendors?
Yes. A mechanical engineering background means Skyler can review technical submittals and specifications — not just manage the paperwork.
