Roofing, Waterproofing & Below Grade Services
Early in the design process
Starting early in the design process, SOCOTEC provides consulting services that guide the assessment and planning of renewable energy integration. Our feasibility analysis provides an initial estimate of system size and output as well as anticipated financial costs and benefits of project opportunities (payback, returns, incentives, estimated cost, etc.). This analysis provides the client with information that helps determine if a project scheme is both economically and physically viable and should pursue full design and implementation.
During the design phase
During the design phase, and in coordination with the client’s design/technical team, we provide renewable energy system consulting from schematic design through construction documentation. As an independent third-party representative for the client, we are not tied to any product or manufacturer. Our focus is on developing designs which are best aligned with the performance, aesthetic and financial goals of the project.
During the construction phase
SOCOTEC oversees the bidding process as the owner’s representative, and provides expert bid leveling. We ensure quality throughout the implementation process with our construction administration services. These include: bidding and negotiation support, shop drawing review, and QA/QC monitoring during installation. SOCOTEC provides performance verification and system commissioning services to help our clients maximize the financial and environmental benefits of their system. We commission projects by conducting field evaluations, reviewing testing protocols, and monitoring the development and implementation of operations and maintenance practices.
Post-construction
SOCOTEC works with owners to provide ongoing maintenance and operations consulting services, supplemental monitoring for performance, and bi-annual inspections.
