It will help those who have little or no experience in dealing with these professionals to understand the services available, the functions and responsibilities of the engineer, and the role of California's Board for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. This guide contains information and examples of the kinds of work that do or do not require the assistance of these professionals, how to select a professional, and what to specify in a written agreement.
