Innovative Engineering + Better Building

Construction projects are getting more complex as the industry continues to grow, making it harder to manage all the different trades and services through outside partners. This scattered approach can lead to coordination problems, delays, and quality issues. As a result, more companies are moving towards vertically integrated models, bringing services like electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and others all under one roof.

Power Design's success is attributed to its vertically integrated approach, where multiple trades (electrical, mechanical, plumbing, lighting, low-voltage systems, etc.) are all handled in-house. With over 170 in-house Design Division employees, this integration allows for better control over quality, costs, and processes, leading to more efficient project execution and better collaboration across departments (prefabrication, estimating, procurement, VDC) allowing us to have designed over 32 million sq ft per year. Staying true to our beliefs in making sure we have intellectual horsepower throughout the organization as whole.

Attention to detail in design is crucial when constructing a building from the ground up and having a team that collaborates from all angles guarantees a successful design build project. A design that remains consistent from start to finish is what the customer strives for, ensuring there are no changes that could negatively affect the outcome, cost more money or cause delays on the project.

Power Design emphasizes its "designed to build" approach, meaning we don't just create designs but focus on delivering practical, efficient solutions that align with the customer’s end goals. We prioritize cost, constructability, and overall project efficiency from the beginning to ensure the project's success and a fully operational building for the client. Our Design Division is staffed with over 40 licensed and certified professionals dedicated to delivering designs that exceed industry standards and guides the project to success from start to finish. Throughout that end-to-end presence—and across dozens of projects—our Design Division have a continuous input and feedback loop with field operations, defining best practices for design. This maximizes field efficiency and constructability, as far as costs, labor, and clash control.

Customers have always wanted to feel confident about what they’re spending, where their money is going, and how quickly the detailed design can be delivered. Today, cost, speed, and attention to detail are more important than ever to customers, leading the industry to search for ways to make this need a guarantee.

The Design Division at Power Design adds significant value by providing cost certainty, speed to construction, and detailed design intent. On design-build projects, Power Design achieves an average savings of 10% per square foot compared to other delivery methods. This is due to our focus on making the right decisions up-front, using the right equipment and the right programming, which eliminates the need for costly redesigns. As a result, we help alleviate the financial stress of our customers.

Also in line with cost and speed is Power Design's prefabrication center, which helps reduce manpower costs on the job site, minimize waste, and still deliver a high-quality product for installation. Taking charge upfront is what has allowed us to guarantee alleviation in these three pain points in the industry. By offering a clear upfront price, prioritizing constructability early in the process, and streamlining loading coordination we have been able to get boots on the ground to start building as soon as possible.
