Services
Building Systems Engineering
Our mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering services optimize building performance while minimizing environmental impact. We design integrated systems that enhance energy efficiency and occupant comfort across commercial, healthcare, and institutional facilities. Our engineers apply ASHRAE standards and LEED certification requirements to create sustainable solutions for new construction and renovation projects.
BIM Technology Development
We develop custom Autodesk Revit add-ins that streamline design workflows and improve project coordination. Our software tools automate repetitive tasks, enhance data management, and reduce modeling errors for AEC professionals. These solutions include the Bulk Parameter Editor, Match Reload All Images, and Linked Parameter Editor plugins used by engineering firms nationwide.
Asset Management
Our asset management solutions create centralized databases for tracking building systems and maintenance records. We implement digital twins and web-based platforms that improve facility operations through predictive maintenance and lifecycle analysis. These systems integrate with existing BIM models to provide real-time asset performance monitoring for property owners.
Energy Consulting
We provide energy modeling and benchmarking services to optimize building performance. Our consultants analyze HVAC systems, lighting designs, and envelope efficiencies to meet ENERGY STAR and LEED certification requirements. We develop retrofit strategies that reduce energy consumption by 20-40% while maintaining occupant comfort standards.
Field Services
Our field services team provides commissioning, testing, and quality assurance during construction. We verify system installations meet design specifications through site observations and performance testing. These services include fire alarm testing, electrical system verification, and mechanical equipment start-up for commercial and industrial facilities.
