Services
MEP Design
Our MEP design services create integrated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems tailored to each building's unique requirements. We produce detailed construction documents that ensure system compatibility and operational efficiency. Our engineers apply specialized knowledge to optimize building performance while meeting project-specific design criteria.
Commissioning
We verify building systems operate as designed through comprehensive commissioning services. Our registered engineers identify constructability issues and provide field solutions during system testing. This ensures mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems function according to original specifications and owner requirements.
Pre-Lease Evaluation
Our pre-lease MEP evaluations assess building systems for tenants and owners. We analyze lease terms related to MEP costs and compare building options to identify construction requirements. This helps clients make informed decisions about lease agreements and property purchases.
Energy Audits
We evaluate building systems to identify energy efficiency improvements and sustainability opportunities. Our assessments compare original design intent with current operations, recommending cost-effective solutions that enhance system performance while reducing environmental impact.
Programming
Our programming services establish clear MEP requirements for building projects. We collaborate with architects and owners to document system specifications that align with space usage needs. This ensures mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems support the building's intended function from initial design through construction.
