What we do
Preliminary engineering is where projects are made or broken before real money is spent. It's the stage where wrong assumptions get corrected, fatal constraints get identified, and development decisions get validated. We've seen it save millions in avoided rework — and we've seen projects suffer when it's skipped or done superficially.
​
We take preliminary engineering seriously because it sets the foundation for everything that follows. Our prelim packages give you the information you need to decide whether and how to proceed — not just a check-the-box feasibility memo.
A thorough preliminary study can identify interconnection constraints, structural challenges, or permitting complexity early — before you've committed to detailed design costs.
What's Included
01
Site Assessment
Physical site review, roof or land assessment, shading analysis, access evaluation.
02
Conceptual Design
System sizing, preliminary layout, technology selection, initial single-line diagram.
03
Cost Estimation
Rough order-of-magnitude engineering and construction cost estimate for project go/no-go decisions.
04
Feasibility Report
Summary of findings, risks, recommendations, and path forward.
Start with clarity.
A thorough preliminary study is the most valuable thing you can do before committing budget.
