The size of our firm allows us to work on several projects at a given time, shifting manpower resources from project to project during the different design phases, as required by the project schedules. Our clients are architects, private individuals, educational institutions, religious institutions, corporations, local, state and federal government agencies and other engineers.

Staggs & Fisher Consulting Engineers, Inc. services are primarily in the Commonwealth of Kentucky; however, we have provided services in other areas including Connecticut, Florida, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Indiana and West Virginia.

Our main function is to analyze the project and make sound engineering judgments as to the system recommended from the standpoint of first cost, energy efficiency, operational and maintenance costs, safety, flexibility, space considerations and usage of the building to satisfy the client's needs and requirements. Engineering is a practical science and we must provide a safe and livable environment.

We select the best qualified design team for each specific project. On some projects, special consultants are utilized to assist us in the design process and to select the best mechanical and electrical systems for the project. The Project Manager for the project is a Principal of the Firm. The Principal-In-Charge maintains client contact throughout the project.

The most important member of the design team is the client. We make every effort to involve the client throughout the design process. During the design process, we will work with client's representatives to develop and select mechanical and electrical systems which will provide the required environment within budget constraints.

We provide reasonable options for review, to allow ideas to develop through the design process. Throughout this process, we advise the client of budget, and operating and maintenance costs related to various mechanical and electrical systems.

Quality control of design is of the utmost importance. Conferences are held between design personnel to produce the most complete and accurate set of documents possible. Cross‑checking between electrical and the various phases of mechanical, together with architectural and structural, is constantly performed.

We have a full‑time field representative who makes every effort to visit a project weekly. In addition, one of the principals visits the project periodically, the frequency depending on the project size and phase of construction. We prefer our principals to visit a project a minimum of once a month. We have designed and observed construction for projects in many areas of Kentucky. Again, our field representative schedules regular visits to the project and he and/or the principals attend construction meetings.
