Design-Assist
Our Service Offerings
We provide expert input throughout the design process, working closely with your team to develop efficient and effective electrical systems. Our design-assist services help streamline the design phase and ensure that all aspects of the project are considered.
VarcoMac's Design-Assist services provide specialized expertise during project development phases, enhancing design quality and constructibility through early contractor involvement. Our collaborative approach integrates practical construction knowledge into the design process, optimizing electrical systems for performance, value, and ease of implementation.
Our comprehensive design-assist services include:
- Design Development Support: We work alongside architects and engineers during design phases, providing valuable input on system configurations, equipment selections, and implementation approaches that enhance project outcomes.
- Value Engineering: Our experts analyze design concepts and suggest modifications that maintain performance objectives while improving cost-effectiveness, identifying opportunities for enhanced value that might otherwise be missed.
- Constructibility Reviews: We evaluate designs from a practical implementation perspective, identifying potential issues with space constraints, access requirements, or installation sequences before they become problems in the field.
- Budget Development: Our detailed cost analysis during design progression helps maintain alignment with project financial parameters, providing real-time feedback as designs evolve and preventing budget surprises later.
- Material and Equipment Selection: We assist in evaluating component options, balancing initial costs against long-term performance, maintenance requirements, and energy efficiency to optimize lifecycle value.
- Scheduling Optimization: Our construction expertise helps identify long-lead items, efficient installation sequences, and realistic timeline projections that enhance overall project scheduling.
- Design Coordination: We facilitate integration between electrical systems and other building components, identifying potential conflicts and resolution strategies during the design phase rather than during construction.
The VarcoMac difference includes our balanced approach that respects design intent while enhancing practical implementability. Our design-assist teams combine technical knowledge with construction expertise, providing input that genuinely improves projects rather than simply reducing scope. We maintain collaborative relationships with design professionals, working as partners rather than adversaries in the pursuit of optimal solutions. With VarcoMac's design-assist services, you gain the benefits of integrated design and construction thinking, resulting in electrical systems that are not only well-designed but practical to build, cost-effective to operate, and aligned with overall project goals.
