Trident Plumbers: Mechanical Services and Value Engineering in East Africa by Devshi Kerai

Devshi Kerai, Managing Director of Trident Plumbers Ltd, talks about the company’s value engineering department and discusses Trident’s international reach.

“Our value engineering department is based on our expertise. As soon as the design comes from the consultants when we are awarded the project, we prepare our workshop drawings. When we do those drawings and designs, we also ask the client what the requirements are and what the objective is. Based on that, we analyze ourselves and the needs. Instead of relying solely on the consultant’s designs, we do our due diligence and design ourselves. Whatever the discrepancies are, based on the consulting designs and our designs, we can see what the gaps are. When we fix them, we come up with the outcomes and find savings for the client or what needs to be changed. We then present our reports to the consultants and the clients. Internationally, we do projects based on the needs of some of our key clients. We do not open branches; rather, we send our project teams to execute then they return when they are finished. In Tanzania, we have done a number of projects in Dar es Salaam and Arusha. In South Sudan, we have done a project for UAP and a medical insurance company as well as residential apartments for locals”, says Devshi Kerai.
