The Design Process
ACS specialises in the design of Mechanical Building, and Electronic Services, and will take on the following in your Project:
01.
Budgeting
ACS will draft a budget to provide our clients with an estimate of how much a project’s mechanical services will cost. Our budgets come with detailed breakdowns so that you can better understand how much each service will cost. From here we work with our clients to make the design as cost-effective as possible, without sacrificing on quality.
02.
Design and Drawings
ACS will then do the full design of the services required, and provide the client with a CAD drawing (we use Autodesk Revit and/or AutoCAD) Revit is a 3D CAD software that allows for a full 3D mechanical design, this provides superior coordination between different services and reduces the risk of clashes on site. ACS will also provide physical A0/A1 drawings to the sub-contractors as required.
03.
Tender Process of BOQ
Once the design is finalised ACS will draft a Tender document and BOQ and issue them to a selection of trusted sub-contractors (including any sub-contractors that the client wishes included). ACS then compares these Tender’s and will give the client a detailed summary and recommendation on which sub-contractor we believe is best.
04.
Site Inspections
Once construction has begun, we will conduct inspections of the site (normally every 2 weeks) in order to ensure that all services are being installed correctly, to coordinate with other services, and to work with sub-contractors on any problems that they may be experiencing.
