About
Company
Heli Consulting Corp. was established in 2015 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We are a small team comprised primarily of Engineers, Project Managers and Business Consultants.
The Problem
Too often, we see a disconnect between clients and engineering firms where clients establish unnecessary demands on cost and schedule and engineering firms put up a facade that anything is possible. Companies will offer their services severely undercutting project bids and doing whatever it takes to win projects. Companies will then use all avenues to cut cost to maintain profitability. Engineering services are outsourced internationally to reduce cost and increase margin, local engineers lose jobs, and younger engineers lose the opportunity to develop a strong technical foundation to grow their careers.
Quality of engineering design is undermined in order to maintain project schedule and to stay within budget. Too often, we have seen projects executed in such a manner, and it almost seems like it is a norm within the industry. Projects have been constructed using this method of execution, but we find that there is astronomical inflation of overall costs as designs are pushed into construction. We often hear engineering firms sell the idea of developing a strong design to minimize RFIs during construction, yet they continually take the same approach executing projects inefficiently.
Our Solution
Every project will have a unique challenge which is why we do not apply the typical execution strategy most firms will use to execute projects. We cater to every project by applying a unique strategy that is most applicable to the project. By doing so, we are able to focus on minimizing client costs, improve on efficiencies and increasing quality. We are not a large firm, but this is intentional. Our goal is to eliminate unnecessary overhead costs that are so often pushed onto the a project. We want to maximize our services offerings in order to achieve successful project execution.
What We Value
Relationship is key to the success of our company. Maintaining client relations are important, but just as important is developing a strong relation within the organization. We value our teams work life balance. We cater to the needs of our staff as we feel that a happy and focused team will utimately offer the best service offerings.
Efficiency and quality is what we strive for on every project that we execute. Without efficiency and proper planning, project schedules will be compromised, costs will increase and the overall execution of a project will be unsuccessful. Without quality, unplanned costs and design will be transferred to construction and overall schedule will be compromised. Efficiency and quality go hand in hand, and our focus on all projects is to develop a unique strategy to ensure efficiency and quality is a primary focus.
