Electrical Engineers

Every engineering project is unique. Clients can be demanding about their requirements but the client is always right and a good electrical engineers firm knows that. It is also the electrical engineer’s job to understand what the client wants and then translate the idea into a structurally sound project.

They are also responsible for planning, designing, and overseeing the actual project until it reaches a successful completion. For small projects, a single engineer is more than enough but engineering firms are your best bet.

Firms that specialise in engineering projects will have several ongoing projects, a chain of command with trained capable electrical engineers and a range of facilities and services that will complete a large project quickly and in budget.

1. Hiring an electrical engineers firm - Finding the right firm can be difficult. You have to match your project requirement to the engineering firm and its area of expertise. Although individual engineers are a good idea, they cannot manage large projects. It’s a far better idea to choose a firm that is well-established with a good reputation and expertise in your planned project. Ask for industry references or client testimonials before you sign on the firm.


2. Create your project description - As a client, you will collaborate your project description/project scope, laying out your requirements to the team. They will then aid you in developing a brief describing what you want, the purpose of the project, key schedules, grading and selection, raw materials, codes and even funding. Ideally, a good engineering firm will do this for you at the first meeting. They will set up an appointment with a project electrical engineers manager who understands what you require. The manager will discuss your requirements and then create the brief for his firm. This brief has to be approved by you before the engineering firm starts brainstorming to generate ideas and budgets for the project.


3. Collect proposals - If you have contacted multiple firms, each firm will provide an estimate and idea that you can compare and then choose. The only problem here is that the choice may be endless and asking for quotes and plans means that you have to make a choice quickly to retain the right firm for your project. Once you have selected a proposal, you can review it and then ask for clarifications regarding the scope of the work, the technical expertise of the firm, different stages of expertise at different levels, complexity of the project, time lines, etc.


4. Selection, contract and payment - Once you have selected a firm, it’s time to negotiate rates and terms before signing the contract. At this point, it’s advisable to have the company attorney at hand to help with the negotiations and to evaluate the contract. Most firms have a stock contract that lists the services that are provided, the timeline for completion, payment amount, payment timeline and method and liquidated damages applicable in case of unreasonable delay or unsuccessful completion of the project.
