Design-Build Services

Saving time, spending less, eliminating risks

The typical design-bid-build process often results in inconsistent workmanship, long lead times and uncontrollable expenses. Lee Technologies offers streamlined, fully integrated Design-Build services that eliminate the risks and deliver the best possible value to our clients. Our process significantly shortens the timeframe to completion, taking 30 days or less to complete the design concept and as little as six months to complete the build.

Unlike the “one size fits all” approach, our designs are simple enough to keep costs down, yet tailored to your uptime needs and budget. As single source provider, we leverage our tremendous purchase power and direct relationships with leading vendors to ensure competitive pricing. Only pre-qualified contractors who know our methods and process are selected to deliver high quality and best results.

Design-Build Services include:

• Needs assessment and audit
• Feasibility study
• Site surveys
• Design development
• Specifications development
• Equipment selection and specification
• CAD services
• Rough order of magnitudes (ROMs)
• Tier level options
• Equipment layout & electrical single line drawings
• Conceptual design assessment

Design Services

Traditional data center designs tend to be overly complex and overpriced and do not consider operational risks and total cost of ownership. The outcome is complex structures that cost too much to build and often result in excess capacity. Excessive capacity leads to higher power consumption and increased operational expense.

In contrast, Lee Technologies develops very simple design concepts with the “end in mind.” We limit complexity and “right-size” our equipment, purchasing only what is needed and no more. Not only do our designs avoid excess capacity and overspending, they increase efficiencies and reduce equipment costs.

Although our standardized designs are easily repeated and deployable across multiple sites and locations—helping us keep costs to a minimum—they are also flexible. We deliver design concepts tailored to meet your specific uptime and budgetary requirements. By partnering with pre-qualified engineering firms, we ensure consistent high quality, delivered on time and on budget.

Construction Management

With the traditional process of “design-bid-build,” you run the risk of ending up with unqualified contractors, uncontrollable out-of-pocket expenses and poor quality construction. There are many ways the process can breakdown, including discrepancies between drawings and specifications, which can lead to costly changes orders.

Our in-house “Design-Build” method avoids the pitfalls of using unqualified contractors. We apply a multivendor approach, leveraging our tremendous purchase power to give our clients the best possible value. Only pre-qualified contractors who know our methods and process are selected. These reliable professionals already have a vested interest in working with us to ensure high quality and best results for our clients.

Our collaborative approach among partners goes a long way towards eliminating change orders. And, because we are in charge of both design and construction, our clients have less exposure to risk.

As a new customer I can assure you that your prompt response to our needs, your willingness to push the envelope, and your personal attention were much appreciated.
