Engineering Without Silos: The Power of One Roof

At Power Design, engineering doesn't stop at the screen. Our engineers follow their designs from Revit all the way to the job site—staying shoulder to shoulder with every scope across the project cycle. That's what it means to be a part of a design division embedded in a national multi-trade contractor: constant collaboration that makes for tighter designs and smoother, more predictable projects.

Senior Electrical Engineer Dan Montgomery knows this firsthand. Hear his take on the biggest advantage of engineering without silos:

What Dan sums up is our built-in advantage. When engineers can meet face-to-face with estimating to align on equipment standards or drop by virtual design to catch clashes before they reach the field, problems get solved earlier and drawings are field-ready the first time. That's the reality of working with a vertically integrated multi-trade contractor. Lead times, cost questions, manufacturer specs—instead of chasing answers across companies, our engineers get them down the hall. (Or at most, a quick scooter ride to the building next door.)

That edge gets even sharper at Power Design's CAMP—where engineers gain hands-on exposure to fire alarm systems, low-voltage setups, and real-world installation standards without ever setting foot off campus. For engineers early in their careers, it accelerates the kind of field instinct that typically takes years to develop. For senior engineers like Dan, it's another tool to keep the team aligned and the work dialed in.
