This guy has no clue what he is talking about. The A/E team is headed up by an architect and civil engineers is just a sub-consultant hired by the A/E firm. Civil Engineering firms rarely are in control of building projects. Architects usually head up the team and during construction a General Contractor or Construction Manager control the construction. Civil engineers and Structural Engineers only get a tiny percentage of the total project costs. Like 5% or less of the total project cost.
