Electrical Preconstruction Engineering Costs May Vary
Finding solutions on the fly may cost the team money and time in delays. Since projects often don't go as planned, the importance of electrical preconstruction engineering can save money and stress.
Preconstruction services fees will vary with the scope of the project, as Cache Valley Electric specializes in lean construction practices.
What does preconstruction mean?
It involves preconstruction preliminary planning, engineering and estimating activities. These help determine the scope of the project and its cost and timing. This also serves as an opportunity to address any potential issues that may exist.
What is the preconstruction services scope?
Optimizing customer schedules and reducing labor costs are two of its major benefits. Preconstruction planning also controls waste. It’s collaborative and suited to each project.
What are the benefits of electrical preconstruction engineering?
The following teams may work together to see your project through to completion:
- Designing
- Engineering
- Building
- Installing
- Managing
Preconstruction electrical engineers work with other phases to make the project more effective and of value. Construction issues are addressed in the beginning, for cost-efficient building.
What is the scope of in-house electrical preconstruction engineering?
Before breaking ground, the CVE team uses technology to perform virtual design and construction. Modeling and assessing buildings are both necessary. Because it ensures the construction process is right from the beginning. A pre construction process flow chart serves as a tool before actual construction begins.
The pre construction process flow chart
What is the purpose of a flow chart? It helps in the efficiency and profitability of the construction project. The electrical preconstruction manager will have a guide that shows agreement between senior management and the field workers.
What are some of the capabilities of electrical preconstruction engineering?
Preconstruction services scope may include the following:
- Underground HDPE cards & duct banks
- Underground assemblies for stub up locations and feeding electrical rooms
- Hanger coordination and build sheets
- Custom supports to support/raise heavy equipment
- Electrical panel assemblies and gutter knockouts for branch conduit
- Pull boxes with knockouts for conduits
- Backing for electrical rooms and electrical panel supports
- Complete electrical room branch bends
- Branch conduit bends
- Custom wall templates for in-wall box layouts, i.e. templates also used for mounting furniture, TVs, monitors, etc.
- And more
Will electrical preconstruction engineering save money?
Being on-time and within budget is very important when it comes to construction. Experience and ingenuity combine in the electrical engineering phase. It is possible to address safety standards at this time, reducing long-term costs.
What is an on-site prefabricated kit?
It contains detailed manufacturing assemblies or sub-assemblies. The kits are assembled off-site and delivered to the job site. They can arrive in time to keep a project on-schedule and minimize material costs and labor.
Underground assemblies (with or without installed conduit) are built per job specs. They are shipped in order of install, which has been pre-determined by field management and the preconstruction team.
Trim kits as well as engraved labels may be part of the finishing touches of the assembled rough wall boxes. Kits are shipped in order of their installation as determined by the preconstruction team and field electrical preconstruction manager.
The costs
Planning ahead of time reduces the cost of electrical construction engineering by saving valuable time and money. When Cache Valley Electric conducts electrical preconstruction planning for your construction project, you’ll likely reap many benefits.
The electrical preconstruction engineering project costs will be determined at the beginning of the project. Efficiency and safety are enhanced throughout, even before any wire is put in the ground.
