I would consider this effort as one intended for installation, thus a Contractor.
If there is an Insurance underwriter directing this effort my first step would be to get on the phone and find out what their concept for protection of the area entails. Let them be the Consultant.

Our industry often blurrs that line without considering the ramifications (ie type and amount of insurance, whether your current insurance actually covers making that decision, etc). When someone ask WHAT KIND OF SYSTEM should be used, does the Forum consider that a contractor or a consultant question?
