Baring Industries has been developing large-scale commercial and institutional projects since 1961 and since that time, has compiled a roster of successful projects across the country unparalleled in the industry. No matter what the business, venue or institutional setting, Baring Industries provides a hands-on attention-to-detail philosophy that results in the development of the most efficient and advanced culinary commercial kitchens in North America today.
This hands-on approach recognizes that technology has made a huge impact on project management and the construction industry as a whole. However, advances in technology are not perfect and the company’s combined institutional experience recognizes that the personal touch and “human-eyed” attention to detail is crucial to the successful coordination of planning and subsequent project management, all of which lead to the development of our top-tier commercial kitchens.
Baring Foodservice Equipment Co. provides foodservice equipment to smaller restaurants and operations interested in the high-quality equipment Baring Industries procures for its larger clients. The division applies processes and expertise developed from executing large institutional projects to provide a high-level professional service not normally seen in the smaller project market. The division offers project management, engineering review and installation services resulting in invaluable guidance and highly competitive sales in the successful outfitting of smaller commercial foodservice operations.
Baring’s entry into this smaller market was spurred not only by the growth of this market, but also by the company recognizing that clients want value from their initial investment and are tired of paying for services that provide disappointing results. While the new division’s offerings may not be as comprehensive, its delivery is conducted with the same attention to detail and commitment to quality.
ESTIMATING
Baring Industries’ intensive process begins in the budget or estimating phase of a project. Our preconstruction teams start by identifying the equipment and scope of a project. Conflicts and scope challenges are identified and resolved with the client. Project estimator specialists fine-tune the equipment requirements and develop highly detailed documents that include labor, materials, logistics, timing and other subsidiary elements of a project. Baring enjoys strong relationships with major manufacturers and works with a network of skilled installers to get competitive pricing required to efficiently deliver quality equipment and service to our clients.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Baring Industries’ long-utilized project management process serves as the foundational linchpin for the company’s reputation as being the pre-eminent source for commercial and institutional kitchens. Project management teams perform an in-depth project review resolving conflicts in the documents, closing scope gaps and establishing a cohesive intimacy with the project. The project review is a comprehensive examination of relevant documents setting the stage for a smooth work-flow.Each of our project management teams are dedicated to the project from the time of award through turn-over, including the warranty period. In addition, the team structure is designed to ensure that full support is available to our client at all times.
ENGINEERING
Baring’s engineering is unparalleled in the foodservice equipment industry. With more than eighty combined years of experience, Baring’s engineering associates have detailed knowledge of foodservice equipment including highly complex engineered systems. We start with a “clean screen” and import the latest architectural and structural backgrounds and manufacturer/model specific equipment symbols and models. Special care is taken to ensure that equipment is drawn according to each manufacturer’s specification sheet or shop drawing and includes the proper electrical, plumbing, mechanical services and special building conditions required for the equipment to be installed, connected and functionally operate.
INSTALLATION
The progression through estimating, project management and engineering all set the stage for a smooth installation phase of a project. Early in the process, our project management team will present and work through a matrix of responsibilities that clearly reviews the scope each trade is responsible for, that may have been overlooked, minimizing or eliminating potential finger pointing and delays. Throughout the installation, the project management team provides oversight and ongoing guidance while monitoring progress until the kitchen is ready to be commissioned and begin operation. Properly managing the installation results in the coordinated effort that our client and all trades benefit from.
