Design Review & Technical Due Diligence
Independent review of electrical designs, technical documentation and existing installations to identify risks, gaps, compliance issues and opportunities before they affect the project.
WHAT WE DO
We provide independent technical review of electrical designs, project documentation and existing installations to help clients identify technical risks, gaps and opportunities before important project decisions are made.
Independent Technical Review
-
Independent review of electrical designs, drawings, calculations and technical solutions.
-
Assessment of design information against applicable standards, regulations, project requirements and specifications.
-
Review of drawings, specifications, schedules, calculations and other technical documentation for consistency and completeness.
-
Identification of coordination issues between electrical systems, architecture, structure, mechanical services and other disciplines.
-
Assessment of whether proposed designs and details are practical to install, coordinate and maintain during construction.
-
Review of tender documentation to identify missing information, inconsistencies, ambiguities and technical risks before procurement.
-
Identification of opportunities to improve efficiency, functionality and cost without compromising the required technical performance.
-
Independent assessment of an existing electrical design before modification, construction, refurbishment or further development.
-
Technical assessment of electrical systems, designs and documentation to support acquisition, investment, development or project decisions.
-
Identification of technical risks, omissions and unresolved issues that could lead to variations, delays, additional costs or performance problems.
WHEN A REVIEW ADDS VALUE
Before Problems Become Expensive
An independent technical review can identify issues while there is still time to address them without significant redesign or disruption.
Before Construction
Review the design before drawings are issued for construction and commitments are made.
Before Tender
Identify missing information, inconsistencies and unclear requirements before contractors price the project.
Before Appointment
Review proposed consultant designs or technical documentation before committing to construction.
During Design Development
Provide an independent perspective as the electrical design develops and interfaces with other disciplines.
Before Acquisition or Investment
Assess the technical condition and risks associated with an existing building or development.
Before Major Modification
Review an existing design or installation before adding loads, changing use or undertaking refurbishment.
WHAT WE REVIEW
Our review focuses on the areas most likely to affect safety, compliance, cost, coordination and successful project delivery.
Technical Review Areas
-
Review of the design assumptions, project requirements and engineering criteria forming the basis of the design.
-
Review of maximum demand, load assumptions, supply requirements and available capacity.
-
Review of protective devices, RCD protection, earthing, bonding, disconnection and other relevant safety measures.
-
Review of distribution arrangements, circuit design, cable sizing and associated technical information.
-
Review of lighting, emergency lighting, controls and associated design requirements where included within the scope.
-
Review of relevant specialist electrical systems including EV charging, PV, energy storage, fire-related electrical systems, UPS and other project-specific systems.
-
Review of interfaces between electrical, mechanical, architectural, structural and specialist systems.
-
Review of drawings, schedules, specifications, calculations and other technical information for consistency and completeness.
-
Consideration of installation practicality, access, maintenance and long-term operation.
-
Identification of omissions, unclear requirements or design decisions that may create variations, additional costs or procurement issues.
WHAT WE DELIVER
Our deliverables are structured to give clients a clear understanding of what has been reviewed, what has been identified and what should happen next.
-
Structured technical reports documenting the scope of review, findings and recommendations.
-
Technical comments and mark-ups identifying design issues, omissions and areas requiring clarification.
-
Assessment of relevant design information against applicable standards, regulations and project requirements.
-
Identification of missing information, incomplete design elements and unresolved technical requirements.
-
Structured identification and prioritisation of technical risks affecting the project.
-
Identification of multidisciplinary coordination issues and interface requirements.
-
Recommendations relating to installation practicality, access, sequencing and maintenance.
-
Identification of potential opportunities for cost optimisation, efficiency and improved technical solutions.
-
Independent technical assessment supporting property acquisition, investment, development or project decisions.
-
Clear prioritisation of findings and recommended actions to support decision-making and follow-up.
