We now have an associate mechanical consultant in HVAC and plumbing, offering VE in those fields. This allows us to provide a complete VE analysis of the mechanical and electrical systems (MEP) in one package. For a project to be completed with the least number of problems, it requires the proficiency of all parties working together in harmony and unity to achieve the highest quality with the least time and cost. Coulter Engineers provides the continuity that achieves this undertaking by working closely with the developer, architect and engineers, construction manager, and sub-contractors. We bring to the assemblage, the know-how, and experience that connects all parties together as one. Our design knowledge added to our construction understanding enables us to keep within a budget without sacrificing any of the scope and standards.
The MEP portion of a project normally entails approximately 35% of the total cost. In our experience, we have seen savings to the client upwards of 30% of the total MEP package.
