Further to 30+ years of experience in providing civil & structural engineering services, we have observed that most of our Clients struggle with the following three (3) main challenges:1. Building Authority’s RequirementsConstruction nowadays is complex, with many codes, by-laws, standards, submission & approval processes to follow, not to mention hidden political & special interest committees to satisfy. It is a challenge for building authorities to manage this. Incomplete submissions are simply adding to the delay.Practically no construction is realized without deviation from building permit plans. Most deviations have negative time & cost implications not to mention change orders, additional design involvement, client’s and building authorities’ re-approval, which is the added cherry on top.2. Timely Access to Practical & Relevant Solutions at Competitive FeesMost of our Clients find that they are either stuck with “one fits all” or conservative junior designers, without due consideration for practicality, economy, or timely delivery, driving construction cost & time right through the roof, or with a firm with limited & untimely access to Senior Engineers who would provide the optimal solution.Finding motivated, experienced, & available engineers at competitive rates was reported by most of our clients to be as rare as hen’s teeth.3. Lack of Experience with Estimation, Tenders & BidsWhether it is a Client seeking to procure design / construction services, or a contractor aiming to win a proposal, it is major issue if the engineering firm is not experienced in estimating quantities, writing RFP’s, or preparing bids in response to tenders.These challenges result in additional cost, time delays, & frustration, where no one is a winner. And we all know that completing construction projects within time & budget can be some sport! And like in any sport, don’t you think that the Team makes all the difference?So if you are facing any of these challenges, we have good news for you; we strongly believe that most of them are avoidable and predictable. At White Trillium Structural Services Inc., we are obsessed with being proactive and advocates of resonance amongst all stakeholders. Our North Star is empowering Clients through our UDS (Unique Delivery System); this framework promotes team / stakeholders' approach, practical knowledge / experience, as well as timely access to decision makers, at the most competitive fees.
