Power System Studies for Engineers & Contractors
We deliver short circuit, coordination and arc flash studies as your subconsultant. The scope maps to your spec, the fee is fixed, and settings arrive before startup instead of after it. Most of our studies are delivered this way.
Who we work for
Design engineers & MEP firms
Your drawings call for a power system study and you don't keep a studies engineer on staff. We build the model from your design and the field, and we size our deliverables to your submittal schedule.
Electrical contractors
The specs require short circuit, coordination and arc flash studies, and the gear won't release without them. You get a fixed fee you can carry in your bid and a firm delivery date.
General contractors & owners' reps
You need one accountable party for the studies section, labels and settings, coordinated with the electrical sub and the gear vendor, instead of three parties pointing at each other.
What you get, in the order the project needs it
The study is usually on the critical path twice: once for gear release, and again before energization. We plan around both dates.
Preliminary study for gear submittals
Fault current and interrupting-rating checks from the design one-line, so equipment ratings can be approved before release.
Final field-verified study
Short circuit, coordination (TCCs) and IEEE 1584-2018 arc flash, re-run with as-installed equipment, cable lengths and the utility's fault letter.
Settings sheet before startup
Breaker and relay settings tabulated for the testing contractor, so the gear is energized at the settings the labels assume.
Labels & close-out
NFPA 70E labels printed (and installed when in scope), the sealed report, and native SKM files for the owner's O&M manual.

How it works
Send the spec section
Section 26 05 73 (or the studies paragraph), the one-line, and your submittal date. That's enough to price it.
Fixed fee in two business days
A written scope that maps to the spec paragraph by paragraph, so there's nothing to argue about at closeout.
We work to your schedule
Preliminary results for gear submittals, then final field-verified results and settings before energization.

Subconsultant FAQ
Yes. We can deliver co-branded or under your firm's cover, with our PE seal on the study. We'll agree on how client contact is handled before the work starts, and we don't market to your client.
That is the normal case. We follow the spec's required software, study types (short circuit 26 05 73.13, coordination 26 05 73.16, arc flash 26 05 73.19), submittal sequence and label format. Any deviation is flagged in the proposal, not discovered at review.
The studies specification and a one-line diagram are enough to start. Panel schedules, the utility's available fault current, and gear submittals (if they exist yet) make the number tighter.
We're based in Georgia and most of our project work is in Georgia and the Southeast. For projects in other states, ask us about licensure in the project state before you carry our number in a bid.
