          4. Reduce client's management and administrative burden by providing a coordinating entity to resolve issues whether they are design or construction related.
      2. Reduction in total project delivery time.
      3. Reducing the extent of construction documentation.
      4. Collaborative decision making.
        1. We have the ability to price concept ideas prior to engineering them. This saves both the client and contractor money.

      13. Coordinate/negotiate with Utility Companies.
        1. Ascertain type of power required, and available and study  ramifications of electrical power deregulation. Determine pay back  period if Owner were to purchase primary power.
    4. How we do it
      1. Become involved with the project at it's initial stage and provide the following:
        1. Initial concept design.
        2. Initial concept pricing.
        3. Schematic level design.
        4. Schematic level pricing.
        5. Design development design.
        6. Design development pricing.
        7. Construction document design.
        8. Construction document pricing.
          9. Normally concept level pricing is developed prior to having a set of biddable conceptual drawings. We will continually revise and update our budgets through each stage.
      2. Construction
        1. We bid all electrical subcontractors and material items out to at least 3 bidders. We would select the lowest responsible bidder in every case.
        2. All major material(s) items would be purchased by B&R.
        3. Electrical Subcontractor(s) will be supervised by B&R.
          4. We will schedule, manpower load and monitor all activities on the project.
        4. Fee
          Our fee for construction is negotiable.
        5. Contract Type.
          We are used to working on a lump sum, GMP or cost plus basis with all cost savings going to the Owner.
        6. We act at all times as though we are the Owner's representative and work to protect the Owner from:
          1. Excessive number of Change Orders.
          2. Dollar value of Change Orders.
          3. Setting up the job to handle additional and future elements if necessary - examples: Building spaces into panels, spare points into lighting panels, additional modules into Energy Management System, zoning into Fire Alarm System, space capacity into Sound Systems
        7. Initial cost or design minimized and more importantly costs of re-energizing items during value engineering phase are significantly reduced due to "short circuiting" design - price out cycle for Owner providing timely accurate cost implications of proposed alternatives.
