NES Services: Miscellaneous Rollouts




			Most national and regional multi-facility managers are faced with the complex and cumbersome task of implementing multi-site rollouts that could affect all or a portion of the company's portfolio. The work performed is often very similar from site to site and provides an ideal setting for involving contractors such as NES that can capitalize on the opportunities for streamlining and process improvements. Companies like NES can provide project integration and installation that helps lower costs and reduce the amount of time required for the project to be completed. NES will mobilize and train traveling crews specifically for the project or as necessary, train and coordinate contractors from our network of local and regional contractors. Either way you look at it, NES can be the single point of contact to execute the project.







			This work may be electrical in nature such as adding circuits or panels or it may be as diverse and a parking lot clean/seal/strip program as a part of a facility renovation rollout. What these projects need to have in common is that they involve a large number of facilities with a fairly common scope that needs to be implemented within a defined schedule requiring sound project management skills........which NES brings to the table.

Some frequently asked questions:

Why would it be better to contract with one company to rollout a program instead of seeking out contractors and bidding it out locally?

There are many benefits to consolidating projects with one or two contactors for program rollouts. Below are just a few of the reasons.

Reduced Costs Through Economies Of Scale - Lets face it, the most motivator for consolidating work with a contractor is to reduce cost. Consolidating to a few or one contractor allows one to better leverage the learning curve encountered on the first few sites and transfer the knowledge and efficiencies gained to other crews and sites installed. In addition, the project management and support personnel also will benefit from the learning curve and will achieve similar improvements in efficiency as the project progresses. Experience has shown that these efficiencies result in prices lower than what would be offered by local contractors that only have the opportunity to benefits from doing a few sites.

Greater Consistency, Improved Quality, Less Disruption - By consolidating more work into fewer contractors, the lessons learned in the early phases of a rollout can result in smoother sailing as the project matures. This can be especially beneficial to the occupants of the facilities because they will benefit from having the work performed by "battle tested veterans" which greatly minimizes the potential for unnecessary disruptions to the facilities.

Reduce Internal Resources Required For Implementation - Soliciting responses from and managing fewer contractors means that fewer internal resources are required to oversee the project implementation phase. Furthermore, companies such as NES can also perform a vital role by coordinating all schedules directly with the facility managers which in and of itself is a major task that internal resources are often burdened with.
