The construction process is characterized by standards such as LVS EN 16310, LVS 1046, etc. However, the geopolitical situation has shown that the construction industry needs to be aware not only of the process itself but also of supply chains, materials, and the fact that we are not disconnected from the international community. Typical construction industry problems in Latvia are imprecise, the ill-considered definition of the intent, lack of technical studies, and lack of structure in the processes. These are all issues for the client. To some extent, they can be expressed in one word: imprévision (lack of foresight). The role of the Institution of Engineering Consultant is to ensure the opposite: a well-managed construction process ensures the efficient use of the resources needed in it. Assuming that the involvement of an engineering consultant in the definition phase of a construction project will contribute to a significant reduction of errors in the subsequent construction process, the question is whether there is sufficient awareness of the institution of an engineering consultant in Latvia and what benefits can be expected from this institution in the next five years?
