Maple Reinders’ responsibilities include Design-Assist services in which the team reviewed GFS’ standard requirements and conceptual plans, and then created the formal design documents in accordance with the Owner’s requirements. The Maple Reinders team also prepared the appropriate drawings and forms, and submitted documents required to obtain approvals and permits from all required governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the project. This included meeting with Governmental Authorities (planning, engineering, building, public safety, etc.) as required.
