Does an engineer need to revisit the site once construction is underway?

Often, yes — many engineering certifications genuinely require specific inspection hold points during construction (like before a slab pour or pier concrete is placed), where the engineer confirms on-site that the work matches the design.

These aren’t optional extras tacked on afterward — they’re typically written into the certification requirements from the outset, so your engineer’s scope should already account for them.
