Means-and-Methods Support
On jobs with deep excavation, JFPEC handles the contractor's side of the paperwork: shoring submittals, Cal/OSHA trench permit documents, competent-person records and site safety plans. Design and stamped drawings come from the Engineer of Record or a shoring engineer we engage. We build and document to the stamped design as the contractor's means and methods.
Who it's for
- General contractors whose excavation needs shoring and a Cal/OSHA trench permit
- Owners on emergency or agency-involved sites that need a written safety plan
- Inspectors and agencies who need the job-start documents
How the work goes
- We review the excavation depth and the plans to see what shoring is required.
- Where design is needed, the Engineer of Record or an outside shoring engineer prepares it.
- We assemble the submittal: the stamped shoring design, the sequence of work, and competent-person and T1 permit records.
- The job-start package goes to the inspector before we dig.
What drives the cost
- Excavation depth and the shoring system required
- Outside engineering, when the design isn't already in the plans
- Agency requirements for the site safety plan
What we do differently
Contractor's means-and-methods documents; all design stays with the Engineer of Record.
Common questions
Can you design or stamp shoring, foundations or drainage?
No. JFPEC is the contractor. Design and stamped drawings come from the Engineer of Record or a shoring engineer. We build to the stamped design as the contractor's means and methods, and we prepare the submittals, sequence of work and Cal/OSHA trench permit records the inspector needs.
