ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION
Design/Build
Our Design/Build experience is extensive, as we
have been performing such projects since 1979 under the expertise
of Brian Van Haren, Professional Engineer. Virtually all Design/Build
projects are fast track with heavy owner involvement, so conceptual
budgeting, alternative system evaluation, life cycle cost evaluation,
critical path scheduling and coordination and pre-purchase are all
ingrained parts of our skill set.
Design Assistance
We have had considerable experience on projects
in which we are not the project engineer of record, but are selected
early based on our ability to add value to the project during the
design stages.
Value Added Engineering (with a quality focus)
It is our goal as a member of the project team to
increase the value of an electrical installation by creatively reducing
the cost of the project without sacrificing quality. Our engineering
expertise sets us apart with Brian Van Haren, P.E., to lead the design
processes. His Electrical Engineering Degree and 25 years of experience
in the industry are unique and unmatched. We have learned to focus
on such items as energy utilization, future flexibility, ease of
maintenance and durability, and factor these items into our decision
processes.
Low Voltage Systems
Our extensive experience integrating the critical
low voltage systems into projects, enables us to understand the importance
of building flexibility into the infrastructure of a building to
accommodate changing technologies. Additionally, our experience plus
a network of low voltage system suppliers and designers that we utilize
during the pre-construction phases, ensures that these critical electronic
systems are incorporated into the design and budgeting phases of
the project.
Budgeting and Estimating
Extensive databases for cost per square foot and
hours per square foot, as well as a unit pricing methodology have
been developed by Van Haren Electric. These methodologies separately
or in combination are very effective in developing budgetary costs
and evaluating alternative installation costs with accuracy and speed
as well as preparing estimates. In addition, our project partnering
and Design/Build experience has taught us to anticipate items that
are not shown on the drawings. We know which questions to ask to
help anticipate costs and minimize coordination issues with other
trades - especially the mechanical and architectural. |
