Electricians
The Challenge:
You're busy - making sure that your crew is fishing cable, estimating fast and observing building code. Being part of a construction project can be highly stressful and chaotic. There isn't time to have sentimental discussions about art pieces that need to be lit or the in-laws that are moving in next year or the autistic child that will have unique visual needs.
You and your crew came to wire, spark and enable safe, reliable light. It takes time and skill to connect with a client to understand what their needs and personal living habits are.
"Cans" may meet code and light levels but do they meet client expectations and needs in the long term?
The Solution:
Our liaison services act as an extension of your company. Once provided with a brief, we perform the consultation with your client independently or with you present. We then provide you with a report based on a standardized set of lighting industry questions.
The Process:
We will perform an in depth lighting consultation with you or with the client on your behalf to learn about the clients needs and desires around lighting and their use of space.
We will synthesize this information into a reports that ranges from a basic lighting layout options to a construction ready package that includes:
- renderings
- lighting schedules
- photometrics
- controls & integrations
....and more.....
Work together before or during rough in to think things through and spec the best design for the client.
With the equal demand and confusion of controls systems we can work together to ensure fluid on boarding of new technologies and sustainable client education and follow up.
Light and darkness are essential to our existence, survival and pleasure.
Light and dark allow us to function as well as enjoy our spaces, from within the interior and exterior.
We need varying degrees of dark and light to work, study, play, cook, make love, sleep, watch fireflies.
Science has proven that light and dark entrains our circadian system to dictate the quality of all of the above.
Thoughtful selection of electric light sources, optimizing daylight harvesting and adapting to the necessity of darkness when considered in the design process will provide the end user and the surrounding environment with the stamp of longevity of your work for years to come. Make every photon count. They will be noticed and felt as much as they are seen.
