Projects Rarely Go As Planned

Many issues can be recognized early and avoided altogether by including the major subs in pre-construction planning.

On your typical project, designers and engineers create a plan and it falls on the construction team to put the plan into action. In the ideal situation, everything should go as planned. But experience has shown us that plans are never perfect and the team has to improvise on the fly. These feedback cycles and plan changes cause delays that end up costing time and money.

D&S Electrical Contractors, Inc. has proven repeatedly that our assessments increase value, provide efficiency and help to create a stronger team effort.

We Identify Budget and Constructability Issues Up-Front

D&S Electrical Contractors, Inc. look for budget and constructability issues first. We practice this model each day and promote a collaborative process among the general contractor, owner, design team and other subcontractors. D&S Electrical personnel assist before and during the design development phase, with project budgeting in the conceptual stage.

Using our extensive historical cost database and our skilled personnel, we produce extremely accurate conceptual cost estimates early in the process. Our team reviews plans and specifications in search of excessive costs and opportunities for design improvements. While performing value engineering, we identify any design and/or construction methods that improve the economics of the project and make appropriate recommendations to the project team.

Don't Settle for the Ordinary

These methods, coupled with our ability to offer complete engineering services, is proven to bring real value to the project team beyond our ability to lay wire.

Design Build Services

Virtual Construction Services

Accelerate With Technology

Our Virtual Construction Team allows us to build efficiently by solving issues virtually before construction and to accelerate schedules utilizing prefabrication, robotic layout and real time dimensioned installation documents.

Virtual Construction Progress Management

Our Team utilizes a program that allows us to take 360 degree photos to document all areas of the project as it is built.  These photos are then overlaid on the plans and allow our clients and the building owners access to very valuable visual as-built data during construction and afterward during facility operation. Key benefits include:

  1. Interactive documentation helps everyone understand the current project condition and what work has been completed without being there.

  2. Ability to look back in time and see where installations are after walls are up, speeding up close out and punch list processes.

  3. Ability to provide a handover package to the owner and client that can give them not only a visual look at the structure of their project, they can see product data and take measurements off the photos without being there. 

Build Faster with Building Information Modeling (BIM)

D&S Electrical Contractors, Inc. has been successfully designing, modeling, coordinating, prefabricating and constructing in Revit and Navisworks on all projects since 2009. We are early adopters of this technology.  Our expertise in BIM has been the genesis of adoption of additional productivity enhancing technologies.


From BIM, flows processes for sharing data and collaboration in the field real time, as well as laying out installations with Trimble total stations.  These processes streamline productivity, eliminate conflicts and allow for precise installations, driving more value for our clients. 

Don't Fall Behind Using Inefficient Methods

Our continual investment in technology helps us eliminate wasted time. By automating repeatable tasks, we can streamline your project and allow our Team to focus on what they do best: superior electrical construction of your project.
