Why Should I Hire A Professional Engineering Consultant?

When you have a great idea or a need for quality engineering design it can be overwhelming to make sure that you are accounting for all of the variables. Am I using the proper design software, will this design perform as I intend it to, will this design fit together the way I intend it to, how am I going to fabricate this product to meet my customers standards? It can be an easy trap to fall into thinking you can handle everything yourself. That is our tendency as professionals to think we can do everything. The problem with that thinking is that you may end up spreading yourself to thin and not be able to give the engineering design the focus and attention it needs. This can be potentially harmful to your business as this is how errors are made. If you are thinking about hiring an engineering consultant for your project ask yourself these three questions:

1. Does my team or I have the time available to commit to the work?

Sometimes you have the expertise in house but you are just so busy you don't have the time to commit to get the job done. This can result in missed business opportunities and revenue coming into the company. Having an engineering consultant who can work with you to accomplish these goals will yield a positive result to your bottom line.

2. Are my team or I really qualified to perform the mechanical engineering design responsibilities needed to complete my goal?

You may have quality professionals on your team with excellent skills but they may not be qualified to conduct proper engineering design. Having an engineering consultant on your team that has a quality pedigree of engineering design through industry experience and the academic society will yield positive results. Ensuring that the design gets done correct the first time is what you can have confidence in if the proper engineering consultant is selected.

3. Do I have all the tools required to complete my goal?

There are multiple tools on the market available to engineers that allow for a competitive advantage when working on engineering design and analysis. If you do not have these type of tools such as Solidworks, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) then you may struggle obtaining quality results. Using a proper engineering consultant who has these tools available will ensure you are keeping up with the industry standard of proper engineering design and analysis.
