:: THE PEOPLE::
M/s. Stantec HVAC
consultants is Founded by Mr. Tejas Shah i, who is an experienced Mechanical
Engineer with PDRA. Mr. Shah has acquired extensive experience in
India. He is associated with Air
Conditioning & Refrigeration field for over 24 years.
Perform the
engineering services through own (in-house) resources.
Omit the
consulting engineering services (with no in-house capability) and approach the
contracting/supplier industry directly for turnkey proposals, which includes
design, supply, installation and commissioning.
The second option
(direct industry approach) may look economical on the face of it, but poses
several disadvantages that have frequently resulted in far higher cost than the
additional cost for a consulting engineering service. These disadvantages
include typically:
Being
commercially independent from any contractor or supplier, the consulting
engineer is in an ideal position to evaluate alternative system concepts during
the design stages of a project. These investigations may save the client
multiples of the consultant's cost in capital and running cost of
plant.
The contractor's design cost is built into the tender
prices and would be the same or more than the design fees of a consultant. The
contractor will also build into the tender price the cost of design liability
insurance to cover design mistakes or poor design. Because these costs are
normally hidden, the contracting organisation has no way of knowing what the
design cost is. On the other hand, a consulting engineer's design fees are
clearly stipulated and agreed and can be compared to internationally accepted
norms.
When only one contractor/supplier is approached, there is
usually no way of evaluating the competitiveness of his price, unless the scope
is standardized, or can be compared to similar scope of works recently procured.
Consulting engineers normally are able to negotiate a competitive price from a
single contractor/supplier by using schedules of quantities and applying known
industry rates.
When more than one contractor/supplier is approached it
is frequently very difficult to compare the technical quality and scope of
tender offers and the lowest price may well be based on inferior scope and
quality compared to other tender offers. Also, without in-house capability the
contracting organisation will find it difficult to evaluate the quality of
works/equipment offered. Consulting engineers provide technical specifications
and all tenders are based on the same scope and quality of works.
Some
contractors/suppliers offer only part of the scope (with resultant reduced
price) and then offer the remaining scope during the contract at a high rate or
price.
Consulting engineers represent the contracting organisation (client)
during the construction stage of a project and verify on the client's behalf
whether the installation complies with specified requirements.
