ThermalTech Engineer-Led Turnkey™

The time for change, for a better choice is…NOW!

Traditional contractor and vendor-led design/build often results in compromised engineering design which negatively impacts overall project value. This compromise is typically due to poor project scope definition at contract negotiation, and design being done by limited, inexperienced design staff. To overcome these weaknesses and in response to customer requests, ThermalTech developed TE Engineer-Led Turnkey™. A key differentiator of this approach is that the design firm manages the entire design and construction process rather than the builder. This control ensures that the final installation meets original design intent, even within an aggressive timeline that drives most design/build projects.

What makes our turnkey unique:

Single-source accountability
Led by staff design engineers and construction managers
Owner/engineer/contractor planning
Value engineering throughout project
Open-book cost reporting
Commissioning, start-up, training
Proactive, prompt resolution of any warranty problems
Long-term partnering

ThermalTech has over 20 years design experience in industrial, healthcare, educational, commercial and government facilities. We’ve been providing turnkey solutions for over seven years.
