Project Collaboration & Design Alignment
Engage early with the design team to understand Basis of Design (BOD) goals, performance criteria, and architectural intent, including Division 26 requirements and energy code targets where applicable.
Lighting Evaluation & Design Assist
Review concepts, preliminary layouts, and Reflected Ceiling Plans (RCPs) to identify opportunities related to performance, constructability, coordination, and budget alignment.
Lighting Design Development
Develop lighting layouts, fixture strategies, and lighting controls approaches to support visual comfort, efficiency, and energy code compliance.
Fixture Selection & Specification Support
Evaluate fixtures and systems to support clear Division 26 specifications, submittal-ready documentation, and compliance requirements that streamline bidding and construction.
Design Assist & Alternate Review
Review alternate products and system options to support cost alignment while maintaining performance and design intent; when applicable, evaluate lighting rebates and lighting incentives documentation requirements tied to fixture and lighting controls selections.
Ongoing Design & Construction Support
Remain engaged through design refinement and construction to support Lighting Package Submittals, coordination, and the final transition to the building owner/operator.
Why Partner with Stouch Lighting
Typical outcomes of Stouch Lighting’s design assist and specification support include:
- Clearer, more buildable documentation that reduces interpretation during bidding and construction
- More confident fixture and controls decisions aligned with performance, code requirements, and owner expectations
- Earlier coordination resolution that can reduce late revisions and change exposure
- Stronger alternate evaluations that preserve intent while supporting schedule and cost realities
- Smoother design-to-construction handoff, especially on fast-track and design-build projects
