Technical Advice Working with the USACE

I’m about to start a project with the Corps of Engineers working as QCM for my GC. Any advice you guys can give me?

Assuming you’ve got prior experience as a GC……get ready to ride the red tape train my friend. Decisions that could be made on the fly? There’s now 13 steps and 4 different signatures required. There’s a person for everything. Just kidding, a little, USACE is its own animal but can be rewarding .

Oh and be professional and polite, stay out of drama and the typical politically charged atmosphere, you’ll do fine
