OUR APPROACH
Over the past twenty years we have nurtured and perfected a simple yet highly successful methodology for providing accurate, timely, and cost effective engineering services for our clients.
PLANNING
In the initial planning stages a clear scope of work is established to familiarize ourselves with the client’s needs and the project's specific requirements. This is done to facilitate effective scheduling and budgeting control over the design of various engineering systems. A specific project team is then created using the talents of the EMTG professionals to the technical demands of the project. With each new project, our organization carefully considers the appropriate staffing requirements. It is this flexibility that allows us to increase our responsiveness to serve our clients.
BUDGETING
Project engineering budgets are established with an eye toward initial cost, effective technical solutions, as well as future operating and life cycle costs. EMTG seeks a close participation by the Owner and Architect at this stage as to insure feasibility and compromises to be made from each participant. After the budgets are developed, periodic in-house meetings are held to monitor costs through the entire design phase of a project.
SCHEDULING
Engineering design schedules are developed to allow careful monitoring of the production milestones within the owners and architect’s overall time frame of plans and specification production. To keep a project on track we are flexible and sensitive to each project. EMTG has considerable experience with fast-tracking projects, and has participated in design built collaborations to expedite schedules or to meet the specific needs of the project. We recognize the importance of completing a project design on time as well as within budget. We work as a team to effectively interface with the Owner and consultants to achieve the solutions that allow the project to move forward. This may consist of segmenting the project or utilizing data from previous experience during the normal course of the project.
COORDINATION
EMTG is praised for its' ability to provide well coordinated plans even for the most complex assignments. Interaction with leading architects, owners, and specialty consultants is a top priority for our project manager’s to provide carefully coordinated engineering document for accuracy and consistency.
SPECIFICATION
We write our own specification tailored and customized to each project consistent with leading industry standard specification. We do not use separate staff for writing engineering specification. At EMTG the people who design the engineering systems are responsible for writing and tailoring the standard specifications.
SHOP DRAWINGS
The design engineer for the project is also responsible for reviewing the shop drawings and responding to field questions from owners, architects, and contractors. We provide a timely and comprehensive review of all shop drawings related to our trades. EMTG minimizes the potential for future project delays by putting special emphasis on the shop drawing review stage.
POST COMPLETION REVIEW
EMTG has an obligation to clients even well beyond the design and construction phase of a project. We provide a Punch List report to our clients just before their occupancy which is a comprehensive reviews making sure installed systems are per our design and specification and further to ensure optimum systems performance.
QUALITY CONTROL
Continual in-progress reviews are conducted by senior personnel through each project phase. Senior engineering personnel not associated with the project perform a formal quality control review at the completion of contract documents. Follow-up continues through the construction phase to ensure accurate interpretation of all design documents.
