Quick answer
Engineering Design Services covers providing multidisciplinary engineering design support as an extension of your team. Done properly, it follows ISO 128, ASME Y14.5, Client CAD standards and produces 2d detail drawings that a fabricator or reviewer can use without rework. Structural Engineering Services delivers engineering design services to clients in 40+ countries with a senior-engineer review on every package.
What separates a good engineering design services company from a risky one
The engineering design services market ranges from one-person drafting shops to full engineering houses. The differentiators that actually predict project outcomes are: licensed software (AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, Navisworks, BricsCAD), a documented checker-review step, code fluency in your jurisdiction (ISO 128, ASME Y14.5) and references in your sector.
Price differences between suppliers are usually explained by these four factors — a quote that is dramatically cheaper has normally removed one of them.
Questions to ask before you award
Ask these five questions of every shortlisted supplier. The quality of the answers tells you more than any brochure.
- Which code editions will you work to, and how do you track client specifications?
- Who checks the work, and is the checker independent of the modeller?
- What is included in the price — revisions, native files, code documentation?
- Can you share a sample package from a similar project?
- How do you handle schedule changes and RFI turnaround?
Red flags to walk away from
Be cautious of suppliers who quote without seeing your documents, cannot name the code edition they will apply, offer no sample of previous engineering design services work, or treat the checker review as an optional extra. Each of these converts directly into rework on your project.
