EXPERT SOLUTIONS

DESIGN

ENGINEERING SERVICES

North Arrow helps clients and owners access the specific design offerings needed to guide engineering and architectural disciplines to project success. We can deliver full-scale infrastructure design across a project’s life-cycle, assembling subject-matter experts and facilitating workshops; developing master plans; integrating building systems into reliable, expandable, and efficient solutions through construction documents; and managing all members of the design team.

Additionally, we can also provide design expertise customized to client needs, from engineering models required for the safe and optimal performance of power distribution, to operations and maintenance-type projects like chiller or switch-gear replacements, to a smaller design element of a larger whole, like lighting or a new power feeder.

BUILD

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

We have a successful track record of providing construction management and services such as commissioning and testing, scheduling and phasing, peer review, value engineering, forensic analysis, and due diligence on complex phased construction projects requiring extensive coordination with multiple stakeholders. Providing value to builders and owners by controlling price and schedule, benchmarking their systems, locating functional issues and weak links, and keeping their systems running at top performance.

We specialize in construction activities requiring compliance with highly complex security requirements—like mission critical assets—that require multiple failure scenarios and 7x24 testing and monitoring.
