Simplify a Complex Process
|
For a majority of owners, the process of planning, procuring and implementing integrated systems can be a confusing maze of unknowns. Technology is moving faster than ever and obsolescence is the rule, rather than the exception in a large percentage of today's applications. In addition, the convergence of technical disciplines compounds the confusion, making it very difficult to qualify vendors and procure equipment and services. |
Maximize Resources
|
It is not uncommon for facility owners to spend inordinate amounts for systems with mediocre performance and in extreme cases, systems that fail to provide any benefit at all. From the discovery process through installation, training and documentation, there are multiple opportunities for error. Even the smallest oversight can lead to inefficient use of owner funds and poorly implemented systems. Without a third-party advocate, owners are at the mercy of single-source equipment vendors who may not be in a position to provide the required solution. |
Un-Biased Focus
|
The consultant is vital to the process of obtaining an efficient implementation. Acting exclusively for the owner or architect, the consultant is an un-biased client advocate, providing design integrity independent of manufacturer preferences, equipment sales and other variables. This ensures that every resource is used to it's fullest extent and only the most efficient, state-of-the-art systems are implemented. The consultant is free to design and to manage the build process by approving contractor submittals, managing quality control and ensuring that the system is installed as designed, with no compromises and maximum cost benefit. |
