There can be many reasons why a capital project owner wants to directly purchase material or equipment. Major pieces of equipment often have significant lead times for fabrication and delivery. Material prices and availability might present challenges or opportunities for cost and schedule savings. Unfortunately, most owners do not have the in-house proficiency to procure these items. Purchasing major end items for a project requires particular skills and experience.
Elev8 has the available experienced staff to help owners make such purchases in a manner that helps ensure project success. Elev8's professionals can prepare bid packages and specifications, identify and pre-qualify vendors, respond to questions, tabulate proposals, and perform detailed analyses to ensure a complete buy-out of the equipment or material. If requested, Elev8 can also provide plant inspections, verification of performance tests, and monitor equipment delivery and rigging services.
