While decisions are often made on the advice of a supplier or installer who has an interest in selling a solution which best suits their commercial aims, the correct assessment of a specifier’s needs requires a broader, more independent approach, argues electrical consultants Haron Robson .
The company’s sole source of income is the fee the client pays. Haron Robson is not tied to a particular product range or commercial arrangement which may compromise its objective view.
The company designs an integrated system which will suit its clients’ application and budget. To support this advice, its engineering team spends thousands of hours each year researching the latest technology, standards and methods.
Haron Robson advises, designs, documents and obtains competitive pricing from suppliers or contractors and can also administer the installation of the system on specifiers’ behalves.
The electrical installation in a building accounts for up to 15 per cent of the initial cost, yet rarely does its design get much attention. With so many systems, suppliers and options available, it is not easy to make an informed decision.
