Tailored
Project Teams
Advantek comprises some
of the foremost technical talent in the region. Our team of distinguished
professionals is available
to produce outstanding results for you, within the most demanding
project requirements. Most of the team members hold advanced degrees
and have capabilities in multiple areas. Advantek has the ability
to quickly acquire additional engineers and technicians and issue
subcontracts to partner firms on a per-project basis to extend
our capabilities as needed.
Cost Efficient
Advantek has no hungry corporate
infrastructure or parent organization to support so we can provide
the best value to our clients. Advantek generates revenue by providing
value added services, not by marking up equipment, financing, or
subcontractors. This cost savings is passed directly through to
make our projects more financially attractive for our clients.
Rapid & Flexible
With no cumbersome corporate
overhead, Advantek is free to rapidly adapt to changing client environments
without lengthy delays or hurdles due to corporate momentum and procedures.
We acknowledge that each client has discrete requirements and policies.
As these policies change, Advantek can rapidly respond.
Privately
Held
Companies and subsidiaries
are being bought and sold with increasing frequency. This creates anxiety
and increases risk. Advantek was formed in 1996 and continues to be
privately held. The company is focused on growth through outstanding
customer service. Our stability means Advantek can attract and retain
the highest quality personnel and attain an increased level of professionalism.
Advantek will be there in the years to come to provide outstanding
service to our clients.
Exceptional
Value
Advantek's goal is to
always deliver the most performance for each dollar. For each client,
Advantek tailors its project management structure and team membership
to best meet the goals and budgetary requirements of the individual
project. To achieve the maximum cost-effectiveness, the appropriate
level of talent is used for each task, and expenses are kept to an
absolute minimum. Because no team member is compensated unless directly
chargeable to a project, inessential indirect overhead expenses are
minimized. Pre-qualified subcontractor services cover work such as
design documents, printing, estimating, and construction management
services.
Experienced
Project Managers
Advantek has a proven history of
delivering results on-time and on-budget. Three veteran project
managers are available to oversee and coordinate all projects.
All of the key team members have prior management experience in
addition to specialized technical expertise. Mr. Deaver has experiencing
managing work at literally thousands of sites. Ms. Sauerman has
managed numerous projects, provided government cost analysis, and
managed several people through the years of her experience.

components of Advantek’s rigorous project management approach are
as follows:
Develop specific objectives and measurable
deliverables.
Identify and negotiate performance,
deliverable, and payment milestones.
Develop a work plan detailing each
task, the desired outcome/deliverable, the prerequisites for beginning
the subsequent task, and the critical path.
Prepare and develop time lines and
master schedules to ensure timely delivery.
Establish and maintain good prime-subcontractor
working relationships.

Exacting Subcontractor
Management
As a rule, Advantek seeks subcontractors
to perform work that is their core business to gain management
leverage. Advantek regularly employs subcontractor firms to perform
specific work where their experience and capabilities can extend
our own. Subcontracts are utilized wherever carefully managed subcontractors,
either sole-source or competitively bid, can provide a greater
value due to specialized experience. Subcontractor resources are
dynamically managed to achieve project goals and objectives.
