their stakeholder relationships. “We form good working relationships with all the consultant teams – architectural, structural, civil, electrical,” he explains. “We’re very good at coordinating and integrating design.” Also, they use technology to enhance their efficiency. A lot of their work now is modelled in 3D with Revit BIM software – they’ve been using that for mechanical and plumbing design for a while now, but they’ve even started using it for fire protection design, where it’s not commonly utilized, “but is becoming a great value for our clients,” Aaron says. As a result of their efficiency, Rocky Point Engineering has been able to form some lasting relationships with many client groups. For example, they work closely and repeatedly with a number of school districts – Aaron estimates that there are at least 50 that they work with on a continuous basis. He’s personally been working with the majority of Vancouver Island School Districts on-andoff ever since he first started at Rocky Point in 2005. “I think that’s a credit to how easy we are to work with,” he says, “andalso tohowaccessible we are. When a client calls, we always answer the phone. If they have a question or need support, we get back to them right away. That sounds simple, but it goes a long way.” Aaron reiterates that meeting their clients’ objectives also goes a long way, and that’s something the team at Rocky Point takes a lot of pride in. Aaron believes they can do that consistently because of their depth of in-house expertise and experience: “We’ve been around for a long time and we’ve seen it all,” he says. “For example, when it comes to mechanical upgrades to schools, we’ve done so many; we’re pretty much familiar with all the possible challenges, and we’ve overcome those challenges. We’re able to utilise that experience and provide improved designs and THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA
