FAQ
- Does the firm need authorization in every province it serves?Verify firm and individual licensing separately in each jurisdiction where services are offered or projects located. Confirm responsible professionals, permitted business names and professional liability coverage will remain compliant after the ownership transition.
- Which pressure-equipment approvals may affect the business?Identify work involving boilers, pressure vessels, piping or fittings and review provincial design registrations, Canadian Registration Numbers and quality-program certificates. Confirm the firm’s drawings, calculations and seals satisfy the authority governing each installation.
- How should you assess commissioning and warranty exposure?Review unresolved deficiencies, seasonal testing, performance guarantees, holdbacks and warranty periods for active projects. Estimate the labour and subcontractor cost needed to complete commissioning, correct failures and support systems already placed in service.
- What should you check in engineering software licences?Inventory CAD, BIM, simulation and calculation tools by user, renewal date and ownership. Confirm licences can transfer or be replaced, and verify project files remain accessible with valid versions, plug-ins and cloud permissions.
- How can you test the quality of reported work in progress?Compare recorded hours and percent completion with issued drawings, approved milestones and remaining tasks. Write down unbilled work lacking authorization, disputed extras and fixed-price engagements whose forecast hours exceed the available fee.
- Which staff credentials create concentration risk?Identify who holds professional licences, specialized pressure-equipment knowledge, security clearances and client approvals. Confirm employment terms and replacement depth where one person controls design reviews, seals documents or maintains a critical customer relationship.
