SOUTHLAND ENGINEERING PROJECTS USING CONNECTED ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE

Southland Engineering is Leading the Change

Engineering Redefined

The industry needs a connected engineering approach to deliver better results.

Engineers are positioned to be leaders that create collaborative relationships, improve quality, and complete projects on budget and on schedule.

ENGINEERS

Optimize technical solutions to meet owners’ needs

Seek real cost, construction and maintenance input to influence design

Value innovation, solving multiple challenges over defaulting to conventional solutions

OWNERS

Receive projects on time, on budget,

at better quality

FACILITIES

Maintain lower energy costs, safer work environment

ARCHITECTS

Eliminate value engineering, improve coordination, minimize change orders,

reduce construction admin

GENERAL CONTRACTORS

Achieve cost targets, reduce risk, maintain schedule,

improve coordination

CONTRACTORS

Construct safer, install faster, build modular, improve quality

CONNECTED ENGINEERING REDEFINES THE EXPECTATIONS OF A MODERN-DAY ENGINEERING FIRM BY DELIVERING CUSTOM, PERFORMANCE-DRIVEN SOLUTIONS THAT ARE COST-RESPONSIBLE, CONSTRUCTIBLE, AND MAINTAINABLE

More Important

Than Ever to Collaborate

BUSINESS DEMANDS

Buildings Are Becoming More Complex

SINCE THE 1960s, CONSTRUCTION LABOR EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY HAS DECREASED, WHILE NON-FARMING

LABOR EFFICIENCY IN GENERAL HAS DOUBLED. WHY?

The Silo Slowdown: Why Now?

MOST PROJECTS ARE STRUCTURED IN SILOS THAT CAUSE INEFFICIENCIES THROUGHOUT

THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

CONSULTING ENGINEERS

Inadequately equipped with real cost, construction

and maintenance data

ARCHITECTSMisinformed during design

resulting in late-stage value engineering and

change orders

CONTRACTORSOften selected for lowest

price instead of total value provided to the project

GENERAL CONTRACTORS

Challenged to eliminate scope gaps, poor coordination and

complex installation sequences

OWNERSActual users often

excluded from providing design input

FACILITIESExpected to operate with little input into
