We Do It Better
Time Up Front

BDA hates to see a person struggling to wiggle a power cord behind a full file cabinet. So we layout rooms full with equipment so we can communicate electrical device location. Now, you see, an electrician on site will look only at the elctrical drawings so if a clearance is important, we will ask our electrical engineer to put the dimension to the center of the device.

During construction we review each box and we sign each box when it is tacked in place. Move a box? Sure, all electricians will say with a smile.

If we ask him to do this when conduit is already attached, he may move it but the smile is not broad, if at all.

Ask him to move a box when there are wires are attached, take out your check book.

BDA is proud of a very low change order rate for our projects.

Up front preparation that pays off in construction is field investigation by consultants. there is nothing like going into a space and seeing what is there. There are no "as builts" that can compete with eyes on.
