In-house engineering

Very Large. In-house engineering staff provides service on an as-needed basis. 

There are a number of ways in which the project can be procured. Use of in-house engineering and construction expertise may work in special situations or on smaller projects. Typically problems arise when facilities departments, stretched to their limit with ongoing plant requirements, must lower the priority of the new facility to meet other commitments. Schedules may stretch out unacceptably. 

General Considerations In-House Engineering Contracted Engineering... 

In-house engineering is probably the least expensive approach of any case, particularly when it can be performed by personnel who would be involved in the monitoring of a contractor s work anyway, such as CED instrument engineers. 

For a small project, executed at plant level by plant project engineers, in-house engineering is the ideal approach provided that adequate resources are available in the plant engineering department, because ... 

The extent of the Project Manager s participation depends on the option followed to execute the detailed engineering. Under the single contractor approach, hands-on participation will be minimal, while in-house engineering will result in the most work for the Project Manager.

Equipment Count Factor - Experience has shown that in-house engineering is less sensitive to low equipment counts. The following correction factors are suggested ... 

A E firms come in all sizes with varying areas of specialties. One may concentrate on retail facilities like shopping centers and department stores others may specialize in low-rise office complexes, public school facilities, or industrial complexes. Staffs can range from 2 or 3, to more than 100. Large firms typically have in-house engineering specialty capabilities such as civil/site, structural. 

Customers identify the key target setpoints for the products they require. In-house engineers identify other process variables, such as temperatures, flows, levels, and pressures, that support the ability of the process to produce the desired products.
