Wheeler & Gray routinely acts as prime consultants to our clients and regularly subcontracts with design and technical professional firms of other disciplines. These professional firms include minority, women-owned, and other small and disadvantaged businesses.
Wheeler & Gray utilizes a networked system of personal computers for all aspects of company operation. Wheeler & Gray staff are available through e-mail to speed project communication. State-of-the-art Computer Aided Drafting stations are used for all drawing preparation. In-house and packaged software are used for design calculations throughout our engineering departments. Computer generated calculations are reviewed by experienced engineers for data input accuracy and soundness of output results.
Wheeler & Gray uses Means Cost Estimating System, Los Angeles County Department of Public Works Cost Estimating system, and other data for preparation of construction cost estimates. Wheeler & Gray subscribes to the National Institute of Building Sciences' CCB (Construction Criteria Base) for guide specifications. The CCB also provides product and cost data, which Wheeler & Gray uses throughout our work. Wheeler & Gray prepares specifications in any format required by the client, and can provide deliverables on computer media.
Wheeler & Gray maintains an extensive technical library. Our library includes building, planning, zoning, and mechanical codes from the jurisdictions in which we work, as well as up-to-date standard specifications and drawings. Our reference books, journals and periodicals are maintained on a regular basis to ensure that our engineers and designers have the latest technical information.
Wheeler & Gray's clientele is characteristically diverse and long standing. The majority of our business has developed on a repeat and referral basis. Typically we serve public agencies, such as city and county public works, redevelopment agencies, parks and recreation departments, as well as school, transit and utility districts, and all branches of the U.S. military. Wheeler & Gray has maintained professional relationships with several clients for more than twenty years, and with some clients for more than thirty years.
Wheeler & Gray believes that repeat business is the foundation of a successful practice and that repeat business is earned by providing quality, responsive service on a personal basis to our clients. The quality of our work is directly related to the quality of our staff and the ability of our staff to provide responsive service tailored to meet each client's particular requirement. Our principals and senior engineers, therefore, maintain continual personal involvement throughout the life of each project. Our ultimate goal is to exceed each client's expectations so that Wheeler & Gray becomes a client's first choice of engineering consultants when contemplating a new project.
