With over a billion dollars of commercial projects completed, Vertical Design Services has the expertise to help WECA Member Contractors with their electrical engineering needs—with over 70 completed arc flash studies and fully-modeled BIM, multi-family, healthcare, K-12 and manufacturing projects and beyond under their toolbelts.

Vertical Design Services provides the following services:

·        Arc flash, coordination, and short circuit studies

·        BIM coordination and design services

·        Lighting, lighting controls, power distribution, fire alarm, and low voltage construction documents

·        Fire alarm permit drawings, including battery calculations

Vertical Design Services’ focus is electrical contractors and design-build projects. Rather than the traditional design-bid-build model, Vertical Design Services partners with electrical contractors and their vendor partners to choose materials and equipment that fit the budgets, projects, and timelines they are looking to achieve.

In Vertical Design Services, WECA Member Contractors can find an engineering partner for their projects. Benefits include direct servicing and a simplified proposal process that eliminates the wait for a set of drawings and bids. This can keep clients happy and extends the services that WECA Member Contractors can provide.

Vertical Design Services is excited to partner with WECA because they are an electrical engineering firm that focuses on electrical contractors. Vertical Design Services is here to be a partner to electrical contractors, whether through BIM education, BIM design and coordination, arc flash studies, electrical power, lighting, or fire alarm or low voltage drawings.

WECA Member Contractors interested in partnering with Vertical Design Services can expect pricing and proposals that are custom to their projects, quick turnaround for proposals and designs, and a partner who answers the phones and returns their calls.
