- Engineering consulting
Engineering consulting is an analysis of an already existing or upcoming for launch climate system by experienced and professional engineers. It includes their advice, and if necessary, concrete proposals of troubleshooting.
In the future, this check allows the client not to spend a large amount of money on the implementation of the facility and at the same time to have an understanding that the engineering solution is correct. The solution that was proposed to him get audited.
After this stage, the client can order the design from Alter Air team.
The design of the project cannot deviate from the finished engineering solution on paper. Deviations can only be if the architect or customer has changed something during the process. All changes must initially be agreed in the project on paper, and then transferred to the site.
The task of Alter Air company, as an audit, when consulting the finished object, is to check the installation work, and their compliance with the project on paper. Thereafter, conclusions can be made whether the system for the project was made correctly or there are inconsistencies.
Most often, the customer order this service from a verified company. The process takes place at two stages, which were mentioned before:
You can change anything If we’re talking about a ready-made engineering solution.
At the stage of the mounted object, it is much more difficult to change anything, since not every client is ready to replace the equipment after the work done. In this case, air ducts and heating were installed already, and these processes should be clearly bound to the design. For better valuation of the best possibilities to change anything in systems, a specialist comes to the construction site and inspects the site for an independent engineering solution.
So, it is IMPORTANT that the design project and all the engineering solutions are matched.
It is important to note that Alter Air provides service of project support in any other city of Ukraine. We can check ready-made engineering solution in our office online, as well as analyze systems and calculate errors. That’s why, firstly, there is an analysis of the papers, then there is an object visit in another city. Our specialists can arrive to provide consulting services or develop a full-fledged independent project. Moreover, if necessary, the specialist can stay at the facility in another city to run the systems.
We already cooperate with the regions of western Ukraine: Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, Chernivtsi, Ternopil, Rivne region and Uzhgorod city.
Alter Air provides consulting projects not only in all cities of Ukraine. There is also a project support service for such countries:
We are happy to jointly conduct projects with organizations and self-employed specialists, recommend you to our clients and help with the outsourced engineering part. Additionally, we invite you to attend seminars of the "Engineering in Design" series, where we show by examples how to correctly implement engineering systems in the interiors of end customers.
Become a partnerAlter Air provides engineering consulting services for such climatic systems:
water supply and sewerage;
alternative energy in the form of solar collectors.
Mostly, consulting for the domestic ventilation segment involves such direction as supply and exhaust ventilation with heat recovery. It includes the following:
checking the aerodynamics;
testing of equipment selection;
review of the noise characteristics on sections of ducts.
If we are talking about the semi-industrial segment (small shopping malls, cinemas, etc.) — VRV-systems and fan coil chillers are typical for them. Such types of ventilation analyzes according to the consulting.
In terms of heating system – here are basically the three directions in which we carry out engineering consulting:
electric boilers;
gas boilers;
heat pumps (air-water) or geothermal heat pumps.
The price will depend on:
spent hours;
size of the object;
involved systems.
Each project is unique. That’s why, the exact cost of engineering consulting is impossible to tell, considering the above points. The cost can be counted after consultation.
The best proof of our professionalism is our realized objects.
When you have your first doubt. In our opinion, if a client think about consulting his project, then something has already went wrong.
How to avoid engineering consulting
The client, who comes to the consulting, already choose the way to “pay more”. To avoid consulting, before starting the project, it is better for the client to contact several companies for advice. It is important to pay attention to the experience and quality of previous work when selecting a company, not only to the fact that the cost of services is lower than the rest. Most often, in the future, the budget option will make the client pay twice as much.
If the initial consultation with the client was detailed and quality, less likely, that mistakes will be made in the future. If not – the client will have to hire another specialist, for an additional fee, and stop the construction process. Worst-case scenario, the customer gets ready-made systems that don’t work properly and asks himself: “why do I need ventilation if it makes so much noise?” or “why do I need a heat pump if it works like a boiler?” etc.
Specialists can answer on this question after checking the project, engineering solution and so on. All individually. The hours for making the works will depend on the size of the facility and the systems that are involved.
It is impossible to tell what the price will be without considering the spent hours, the size of the facility and the involved systems. Thus, the cost can be determined after consultation.
