Why Lutz, Daily & Brain, LLC
Lutz, Daily & Brain, LLC, (LDB) has enjoyed 71 years of providing high quality consulting engineering services to clients. Some of the reasons why our services are in demand are listed below:
Well Established Firm- With a respected national reputation, LDB has been in business continuously since 1948.
Good Client Relations - LDB is still working for two of their four original clients. (The others were acquired by larger utilities). Currently, repeat business accounts for approximately 85% of our work. One of LDB's original clients has entered into contract with the firm over 98 times since 1948. LDB listens carefully to its clients when explaining project objectives and goals to obtain a thorough understanding of the project. LDB is a value driven firm which works effectively with their clients in developing more specific scope and design objectives for complicated projects. On a recent $10 million power plant modernization project, LDB developed a design which differed from the original plan to produce the same objectives without sacrificing efficiency or reliability. This resulted in a $3 million savings.
Experience In Complicated And Difficult Design - LDB has extensive design experience in power plants, boiler plants, cogeneration systems, steam heating plants, chiller plants, thermal energy storage facilities, industrial plants, electrical substation, transmission, distribution, controls, major retrofit, demolition and telecommunications.
Professional, Capable Personnel - LDB staff is capable of reviewing the need, outlining the problem, professionally describing a practical and feasible solution, conceptually defining the project, preparing reports as required, preparing plans and specifications to construct the project, reviewing the construction in the field as it proceeds to completion and assisting in the start up and performance testing of the project.
Ability To Control Project Costs And Schedules - LDB's record of accuracy in estimating and maintaining construction costs and schedules is demonstrated by the fact their projects have been completed on schedule and either at, or under, budget. LDB projects have been within 5% +/- of the estimated cost (still within budget/contingency). Completeness of design has kept change order dollars to less than 3% on the last 5 major utility improvement projects with construction cost approximating $430 million.
Communication With The Client - LDB maintains excellent communication throughout the duration of their projects.
