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
ENGINEERS MUST TAKE A LEADERSHIP ROLE TO CHANGE THE INDUSTRY

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
project design
