Design-Bid-Build is an effective method which are adopted by most of the new construction project. In the Design-Bid-Build delivery, the customer contracts separately with the design firm that produces the construction documents, and the builder that physically builds the building. This is the traditional method, and is based on the sequential process of design, construction documents, bidding and then construction. This method gives flexibility to the design firm to take ample number of time and resources to study and detail design the project.
This method effectively allows the design firm to work independently without any conflict of interest and to focus on client and site requirement. This gives customer a confidence that an ample amount of resources, technology and study are performed on the requirement which will transform their requirement in detailed with engineering codes and standards.
Data Center Engineering Design Consultancy is more than just an art, it is a regressive engineering process. It is a process in which business needs are transformed into application requirements and such requirements are correlated with ICT measures and such measures then transformed into the data center environment and infrastructure, translating into parameters such as kw and square footage and then conceptually layered, detailed designed, precisely quantified and specified into an implementable optimum data center site and infrastructure.
Once the requirement gathering is complete from the customer with respect to its requirements, growth plan analysis, available resources and infrastructure, all the information is translated into the initial design or conceptual design. ENERGENIQ engineering team renders the initial schemes and parameters required for the design stage to commence, designers develop Data Center Conceptual Design alternatives, portraying sizes, quantities, layouts and values, exhibiting the high-level view of the site and facilities for review, analysis, further development and optimization of the data center. This Phase also gives construction engineering estimates for the alternative designs which gives high level information of the project cost along with the projected TCO/ROI.
Conceptual design is only the beginning for engineering and design process, the "core" of the value and effort lays in detailed design drawing and documentations that are developed as a complete design kit, providing detailed and specified sizes, measurements, layouts and parameters for every single component be it electrical, mechanical, civil, security, cabling, etc. This effort is essential for professional implementation of data centers, because it provides complete guidelines and reference points for contractors to follow precisely without having to use their intuitions on-site without having the big picture and engineering parameters properly evaluated and referenced.
In detailed design phase ENERGENIQ utilizes top of the line CAD tools for designing each and every aspect of the design components, i.e Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) Analysis, ETAP, Dialux, Trane etc. This enables the design team to size and design the correct capacity and features of the components to achieve the required design goals. ENERGENIQ have certified designers which provides the design requirement to meet criteria defined by, internationally accredited Uptime Institute for data center Tier Level requirements.
Following the detailed design phase, ENERGENIQ will formulate a set of detailed design, equipment technical specification and construction methodology for incorporation to the one General Contractor tender bid document package. ENERGENIQ will also provide assistance in provisioning of standardized evaluation criteria that will allow for a timely apples-to-apples proposal comparison which will mitigate risks to the overall build phase of the project.
During the build phase of the project, ENERGENIQ will supervise the construction works performed by the contractor with review of project progress, material selection and address any challenges faced by the contractor. This ensures the customer that all the works are being performed according to the design documents, meets consultant/customer expectation and project completion within the timelines and allocated budgets.
ENERGENIQ have design consultants with 14 years of Data Center Engineering Design Consultancy with successfully completed projects all over Pakistan.
