One team. Every system. No finger-pointing between trades.
HVAC, electrical and plumbing designed together, so your permit set is complete, your trades are coordinated and your project stays on time and on budget.
Planning a new project? Start with the part that causes the most delays.
Most MEP headaches are not design problems. They are coordination problems: three trades, three sets of drawings, and conflicts nobody finds until the ceiling is closing. We design all three systems together so those conflicts are solved on screen, not in the field.

Where MEP projects usually go wrong, and how we prevent it
If you have built anything, you have seen at least one of these.
Duct, pipe and conduit fight for the same space
Separate designs mean clashes show up on site, followed by RFIs, change orders and delays.
Our fixOne coordinated BIM model with clash detection before drawings are issued.
The permit set comes back with comments
Missing load calculations, energy compliance forms that do not match the drawings, or incomplete schedules.
Our fixLoad letters, COMcheck or Title 24 reports and schedules prepared with the drawings, then submittal support.
Equipment gets sized late and costs more
Late changes to HVAC loads ripple into electrical service, panels and plumbing connections.
Our fixLoad calculations first, so one decision flows correctly through all three disciplines.
HVAC Engineering Design
Tailored HVAC systems designed to maximize energy efficiency and minimize construction cost, built around your facility rather than a generic template.
Precision-engineered performance
Off-the-shelf solutions often fall short on complex projects. Custom designs size the system to your space, load and budget.
Solutions for every space
From small offices to large industrial facilities, we specify systems with current technology for reliable, energy-efficient operation.
Long-term value
Senior engineers plan for future demand so your system stays flexible and cost-effective across its lifecycle.
Fast, dependable delivery
Our average design package turnaround is 5 days, without sacrificing quality.

5 common reasons MEP permit sets get sent back
Check your own package against this list before you submit. Share it with your team.
Outdated or missing load calculations
Utilities and reviewers want loads that match the final design, not an early estimate.
Energy forms that don't match the drawings
COMcheck or Title 24 inputs must agree with the lighting and mechanical sheets.
Fixture counts that don't match the architectural plans
Plumbing schedules drift when the floor plan changes.
Equipment schedules without matching electrical connections
Every unit on the mechanical schedule needs a circuit, breaker and disconnect that agree.
Unresolved ceiling and shaft conflicts
Reviewers and inspectors notice what coordination missed.
Three myths about MEP engineering
"MEP is just drawings."
Fact: The drawings are the output. The value is the calculations, code review and coordination behind them.
"Hiring each trade separately is cheaper."
Fact: Separate designs often shift cost into rework and delay. Coordinated design from one team reduces that risk.
"Permits are the city's problem."
Fact: A complete, consistent package means fewer comments and fewer resubmittals.
Questions we hear before every project
What do you need to get started?
Architectural plans or CAD files, the building type and location, and any known equipment or utility information. If you only have a concept, send that and we will tell you what is missing.
How fast can you deliver?
Our average design package turnaround is 5 days. Actual timing depends on scope and complexity, and we confirm a schedule before we start.
What formats do you deliver?
DWG, PDF and Revit, or whatever format your team needs.
Do you help with permits?
Yes. We prepare permit documentation and support submittals and review comments for the agencies and codes that govern your project.
Can you work with our architect and contractor?
Yes. We coordinate with architectural BIM models and with the contractor so the design is buildable as drawn.
