When you choose Evans, you get more than just quality state-of-the-art console equipment. You get our entire team which has over 40 years of experience designing and building control rooms. You get our team that prepares all the documents and drawings you require to meet operational standards. This includes our manufacturing team, project managers, designers, modelers, regional sales managers, shipping experts, and installers.
We are experts at manufacturing the consoles themselves, but we are also very good at managing the whole process to build exactly what you need and to meet operational requirements. From acoustic panels to Factory Acceptance Testing. Learn about how we take care of our clients from start to finish, all the way from initial consultation to ongoing support and EvansCare. Let us help you get your mission-critical environment operating in peak condition.
This post includes 3 main sections:
Not everyone will require the advanced documentation we describe in the next section. The list here in section 1 is provided for all of our clients at no extra cost. It is quite an extensive list to make sure you have everything you need from the moment you engage with us to well after we install your project.
So what? How does this list help you specifically? Here are more points on why to choose Evans and how we help you:
Evans adds value at every turn. Most other console manufacturing companies don't have the resources to include the extras you need for each project, things such as document compliance or Factory Acceptance Testing. Evans Consoles has the people to not only get your project completed promptly but also provide the value add documents you require. Just request what you need, and we will get it done. We care about your documentation compliance and project's operational requirements, and if your budget allows it, we can work it into your project proposal.
Request any of the above from Evans and we will make sure to include it in your project. Whether it comes from project management or our electrical team we will make sure it happens and we have the resources to do so. Keep in mind that these extras are not automatically included in all projects and adding them will increase your budget. But if you ask what we can accomplish for you it may make sense for us to do some or all of what you have in mind. From document control and compliance to inspection test plans, we have done it all in the past and we can do it for you too.
What are the benefits of adding in extra items? What do you get out of the extra cost of having us help you with document compliance and additional items?

Protect your investment by keeping dust, dirt, and debris out of your cables and equipment. Your operators will also thank you for boosting morale and keeping their workplace clean (air quality and surfaces). EvansCare is NOT a janitorial service and we do not empty the garbage or vacuum the floors. Our focus is on the consoles themselves, we even tighten hinges, screw, replace broken hardware, and clean overhead lighting! Many of these things are not included in your janitorial service. You spent the cash on new consoles and maybe even computer equipment...so make sure to keep them tidy and ensure they last longer. We clean any consoles built and delivered by any company so do not hesitate to book your appointment. Learn how to protect your control room investment by downloading this free Whitepaper:
