In-House Design-Build Electrical Engineering, Pre-Construction & 3D BIM Coordination
On fast-track commercial, laboratory, and institutional projects across Greater Boston, waiting for 100% Construction Documents before engaging an electrical partner creates schedule compression and budget overruns. Electrical Dynamics provides turnkey Design-Build and Design-Assist engineering—combining conceptual budgeting, long-lead equipment pre-purchase, and LOD 350/400 3D BIM clash detection under a single point of accountability.
Single-Source CSI Division 26, 27 & 28 Design-Build Execution
General contractors and owners frequently suffer scope gaps when electrical power (Division 26), structured cabling/security (Division 27), and fire alarm life safety (Division 28) are split across three separate subcontractors. Because EDI operates in-house Electrical Construction, a UL-Listed Fire Alarm Division, and a BICSI-Certified EDI Network Systems division, our Design-Build team coordinates every conduit riser, damper power feed, access-control door strike, and MDF power circuit on day one.
- Conceptual ROM budgeting at SD/DD milestones with real-time switchgear and generator lead-time tracking.
- Massachusetts Energy Stretch Code and Specialized Opt-In Code (780 CMR / IECC) lighting power density (LPD) and receptacle control engineering.
- Early release equipment packages (switchboards, panelboards, generators, transfer switches) to protect critical-path occupancy dates.
- Complete PE-stamped electrical riser diagrams, short-circuit/coordination studies, and municipal building permit submittals.
LOD 350 / LOD 400 3D BIM Modeling & Multi-Trade Clash Detection
Above-ceiling plenum space in Massachusetts biotech labs, healthcare facilities, and corporate headquarters is heavily congested with lab exhaust ductwork, chilled water piping, medical gas lines, and structural steel. EDI models multi-tier conduit trapeze racks, cable trays, busways, and equipment clearances in 3D prior to field mobilization.
- Full participation in weekly GC Navisworks clash-detection sign-off meetings.
- NEC 110.26 working-space and dedicated equipment-space 3D clearance envelopes locked into the federated model.
- Pre-fabricated multi-tier trapeze strut racks and pre-bent parallel feeder sweeps delivered to the jobsite by floor zone.
- Digital redline and As-Built turnover packages exported directly to Procore and facility management CMMS platforms.
Design-Build & Pre-Construction Milestone Deliverables
| Project Phase | Engineering Deliverable | Cost & Schedule Impact | Responsible EDI Team |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conceptual / SD (0–30%) | NEC Art. 220 load study, utility service inquiry & ROM budget | Locks utility transformer capacity early | Pre-Construction & Estimating |
| Design Development (30–60%) | One-line riser, Early Equipment Release Package & VE matrix | Saves 12–24 weeks on switchgear lead times | Design-Build Engineering |
| CD & BIM Sign-Off (60–100%) | LOD 350/400 Revit model, Navisworks clash-free sign-off | Eliminates field rework & change orders | BIM / CAD & Field Foremen |
| Closeout & Turnover | As-Built drawings, Fluke/OTDR reports, NFPA 72 Record of Completion | Guarantees first-pass Certificate of Occupancy | Project Management & QA/QC |
