ROI is not a traditional engineering
firm in any sense of the word. We are at our
best and most cost effective when there are problems to be resolved, or the ability to
make a lifecycle cost difference to the
owners or leaseholders at a facility.
We have not
been involved in the design of speculative buildings, as our typical client is a long term
owner or leaseholder that has more than a desire to turn a building over every two years. Even in the 80's when it seemed every engineering
firm around was developing cheaper and cheaper means
to air condition a facility, we stuck by our traditional client base,
and helped them weather the onslaught of new cheap office space.
Many of our
clients have now bought facilities of this type at fire sale prices and we have helped
them upgrade the HVAC systems to actually meet the needs of the tenants. Many of these buildings were purchased at
relatively low prices, several below their cost of construction, due to their inherent
HVAC problems and resulting low lease rates.
The
following pages briefly describe specialty or niche consulting areas, where our expertise
can be utilized cost effectively.
