Many of the commercial and industrial projects constructed by J. F. Electric are traditional plan and spec endeavors designed by engineers and architects employed by the owner. However, fast-paced delivery requirements have moved the market steadily toward the concept of Design/Build construction. In this process, specialty contractors team with the general contractor in both the design and the construction.
J. F. Electric has professional engineers, electrical designers, and computer-aided drafting capabilities that allow us to integrate design and construction into a single product. As part of our commitment to the Design/Build industry, J. F. Electric is an established Professional Engineering Corporation, and is duly registered with the States of Illinois and Missouri as a Professional Design Firm.
Benefits of Design/Build include true integration of design and construction. J. F. Electric's engineering staff is supported by a knowledge base developed over years of involvement in electrical construction. Our design capabilities are refined by every project we construct, even those we do not design. This in-house approach assures that the engineering involvement required by statute is fully integrated into each phase of the design and construction process.
Each electrical design is reviewed by a team of design professionals consisting of both licensed engineers and electricians. The infrastructure that supports our construction operation also supports our design arm. Constructability is enhanced while conflicts and potential construction issues are identified and eliminated before construction begins. This resource sharing translates into lower costs for customers.
From its long-term commitment to safety and service, to its commitment toward integration of the latest technologies available, J. F. Electric meets and far exceeds expectations for electrical design and construction.
