What We Do in Design-Assist
Regardless of size or complexity, Cannon & Wendt Electric Company plays an integral, active role as a design-assist team member, uniquely qualified to help your construction project team by:
- Developing major milestones for the summary schedule
- Prioritizing design completion - what we need first and why to meet the electrical construction schedule deadlines
- Coordinating the completion of the single-line diagram, a vital component to the project schedule
- Developing specifications for the electrical contracting project that are of appropriate quality for the specific facility
- Coordinating with equipment manufacturers to determine if equipment rooms are large enough and if the proposed equipment will meet the requirements of the project
- Targeting possible trade conflicts or scope omissions between the specialty trades, then determine the logical subcontractor to carry each issue
- Providing continuous estimating during the design phase in order to provide immediate updates of project costs in the GMP
- Beginning the ongoing value engineering process to reduce the cost of the electrical work before design completion
- Assisting in the completion and review of design drawings
- Helping to speed the plan-check and permitting process thanks to the strength of our relationships with local regulatory agencies
What You Save with Design-Assist
The design-assist process gives your project team cost-saving advantages, including:
- Shorter project duration that translates into earlier utilization of your facility
- Ability to discuss the impact of potential scope changes before implementation
- Reducing extra costs due to the intensive trade coordination amongst the design-assist contractors
- Offsetting the cost of requested scope changes through ongoing value engineering
