DESIGN AND ENGINEERING Butsko has established itself as a leader in utility design as an active participant working with the CPUC implementation of electric and gas "Applicant Design" since January 1996. Butsko has successfully performed more applicant design projects than any other design/engineering firm in California. Applicant Designs are approved by the CPUC as a "permanent" option to help meet the needs of the building industry by providing flexibility, choice and control over the planning and design process. In addition, Butsko has extensive experience in telecommunications design, working for local service providers and designing master planned communities' infrastructure requirements. The management and coordination of the global design and construction process can be a difficult task. This process usually involves coordinating between each development team member (consultants, contractors, project management, construction management, sales and marketing). By effectively communicating activities and managing tasks, schedules are more likely to be maintained and financial budgets can be met. Butsko has an internal project management team format that ensures clear and timely communication, project coordination and management. Our teams will consist of a Principal-In-Charge; Project Manager/Designer; and Project Coordinator. Client representation and advocacy is a priority for the Butsko team during the life of a project.
