We
Love
Architecture
That is why
We do MEP engineering
Our goal is to be your dependable team member from pre-design through the design phase and construction administration to completion, and
bring your vision and project goals to success
Early planning is critical for successful delivery of a project. We plan the MEP systems for each space, each zone, from the interior to the site to stay in lock-step with your vision and project goals.
By considering occupancy. building type, environmental factors, building and energy codes and standards, and current and best industry practices,
We offer design-criteria documents, schematics, specifications, construction-cost estimates, and coordination efforts to the team, to ensure that the project successfully proceeds to the design phase within the programming and budgetary constraints.
Our goal is to complete the majority of design work at 65% review stage for timely coordination of system components with team members and outside vendors. This allows us to respond quickly to inputs from other discplines in the final stages of the design, to QA/QC our work, and meet the deadlines comfortably.
We are available any time to collaborate, make changes, and coordinate implementation of the deisgn goals during the design phase.
We design in Revit and use Autodesk Construction Cloud.
We offer Value Engineering support, pre-bid support, complementary and expedited review of RFIs and Submittals, as well as field inspections, reports, and punch lists as well as record-drawings updates.
We are available any time to meet and help resolve any MEP related construction issues.
