Cost Effective. High Value Approach. Owner’s Representative..
The + is in Our Owner Engineers.
Harris Group delivers engineering and consulting services across several vendor platforms and manufacturer’s protocols.
Many companies today do not maintain their own engineering staff. Owners increasingly turn to contractors for assistance with both detailed design and construction. Problems arise when owners fail to similarly provide for owner’s engineering responsibilities.
Without Owner’s Engineering, companies find it difficult to define projects at the front end. During later stages, companies can become overly dependent on their detailed design and construction contractors, which in some cases, they are not equipped to manage.
According to a recent study, companies executing Owner's Engineering functions, spend less on projects, reduce cycle tie to start-up, increased plant capacity and ROI on projects.
This virtual engineering group functions as the Owner’s personal engineering team on process driven projects. According to a recent study, Companies executing Owner’s Engineering functions, spend 28% or less on projects, reduce cycle tie to start-up by 30%, increase plant capacity by 6% and transform average 15% ROI projects onto 22+% return winners.
Exceptional project performance defines Owner’s Engineering. To achieve this standard, our engineers perform early-stage project activities and monitor detailed engineering and construction functions that are carried out by other contractors.
To achieve the standard of exceptional project performance, Harris Group performs early-stage project activities and monitors detailed engineering and construction functions that are carried out by other contractors. During early project stages, Harris Group defines the project scope aligned with business objectives, performs market forecasts and competitive assessments.
We prepare capital budgets, identify and evaluate technological alternatives and scope additional technology development as required and also prepares Owner’s design criteria for use in detailed engineering.
In later phases, the Owner’s Engineers perform part or all of the development and detailed engineering. They oversee the work of other engineers or contractors representing the Owner’s interests throughout project execution. This helps keep the project on track with business objectives, schedule, and budget.
