When to Bring Us In
Earlier than you think.
For architects and builders. The phases follow the American Institute of Architects (AIA) basic services. At each one there is a short conversation that saves a long one later.
- Pre-design. Once the architect has the owner’s program, Chet reviews the site and program with the architect or builder: power to the site, utility lead time, and the big loads.
- Schematic design. Input to the architect on lighting intent, control systems, and service size.
- Design development and construction documents. Review of the electrical plans with the architect or builder. Long-wait equipment gets flagged and ordered.
- Construction. Work with the builder through rough-in, trim, and handoff.
