:: 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.
