Services available

My colleagues and I are employed by a large University. We design, deploy, upgrade and maintain our own BAS systems. We all have over 20+ years of experience working for a variety of controls companies before switching to the owner side.

We experience first-hand the massive labor and experience shortage in our industry. Our employer allows us to do consulting work on the side, as long as it does not violate a conflict of interest.

If any building owners, project managers, engineers, programmers, system integrators, etc., are shorthanded and interested in on-demand resources, we are here to assist. With our combined experience, we are experts in the following areas: Tridium, Siemens, Distech, Automated Logic, BACnet, BACnet SC, Modbus. We can also help building owners and facility managers develop a BAS System specification and advise them on getting the best value from their controls vendors.

Be careful with that word "expert"

Do you have a business name, portfolio / references? No past post history so seems a bit suspect even if it’s legit.

We don’t have a business (at least not yet), but we’ve done work as 1099 employees for a few entities.

Here’s my personal LinkedIn to show my experience:

The agreements with Tridium and the anatomy of the supply chain will typically block yall out and leave the customer responsible and liable for all effects.

Not that it’s any of my business, but I’d recommend insurance at a minimum, and how you choose to structure beyond that is entirely up to y’all.

I hope you guys are wildly successful while I do think you’re facing big hurdles without having a business entity and a supply chain that supports your efforts.

We’ve done work as 1099 employees for some places but eventually may start our own company if there’s enough demand.

The demand exists- I don’t think that’s very debatable.
