With multiple different types of project delivery methods, new concepts for equipment procurement have introduced a rivalry of cost and equipment lead time versus quality and energy efficiencies. SQL realizes that there are multiple drivers and stakeholder reasons as to why certain specified equipment matches Basis of Design and others are an Approved Equal.

As part of our Process, you will meet with SQL Engineers to review your project and its equipment purpose. Our Engineers review existing shop drawings, as-builts, specifications, and operating manuals to provide detail in understanding the project’s overall purpose. Our Engineers will review project schedule to identify key milestones. Together, SQL Engineers assist our customers in defining their goals for success, usually taking form in a Request for Proposal and related Equipment Specification. After collecting all viable bid proposals, SQL levels, qualifies, and provides comment on all responses. As part of our services, SQL interviews and reviews all bid proposals with our customers. This shoulder-to-shoulder approach guides our customers in making informed decisions in which they feel confident in their understanding on equipment function and purpose.

SQL offers stakeholder-oriented decision making so that equipment selections align with facility maintenance and operations vision.
