Mechanical / Electrical / Plumbing
How mechanical, electrical & plumbing engineering services support your project
A building is only as good as the systems that make it function. Heating, cooling, ventilation, power, lighting, plumbing, controls — these are not background considerations. They determine whether occupants are comfortable, whether operations run efficiently, and whether the investment a client makes in a facility holds its value over time. Getting those systems right from the start, and keeping them performing over the long term, is what our mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineers are built to do.
We partner with municipal, commercial, higher education, and public works clients across the full arc of a project, from early concept and system design through construction and commissioning. Whether the work involves a new facility or the renovation of an existing one, our approach is the same: objective data, deep client collaboration, and designs that emphasize long-term performance over short-term convenience.

Our approach
Our engineers understand that the decisions made during design have consequences that extend decades into a facility’s life. That is why we emphasize performance-driven design grounded in load analysis, energy modeling, and a clear-eyed understanding of how buildings operate once occupied. We are skilled at reducing energy consumption without sacrificing occupant comfort, and we bring that balance to every system we design.
Sustainability is not a feature we add at the end. It is embedded in how we think about building systems from our first conversation with a client. High performance buildings require high performance engineering, and we have the expertise to deliver both — and to verify through commissioning and retro-commissioning that they perform as designed.
Systems designed for comfort, efficiency, and longevity
The mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in a building set the conditions for everything else. Design that accounts for occupant load, usage patterns, and energy targets creates interior environments that are comfortable year-round and efficient over the long term. Our engineers work across heating, ventilating, and air conditioning, building automation, central chiller plants, energy control systems, fire protection, and underground piping, developing solutions that integrate seamlessly and hold up under real operating conditions. From air permitting and compliance to energy audits and commissioning, we stay engaged through every phase to make sure the system that gets built is the system that was designed.
From the substation to the light switch
Electrical engineering at the building scale encompasses far more than wiring and fixtures. Our electrical engineers bring expertise across voltage classes from 120V to 765kV, working on power generation and distribution, substation design and equipment upgrades, relay and protection systems, renewable energy interconnection, and building electrical upgrades for a wide range of facility types. We apply that same depth to building-level work including lighting systems, access control, arc flash hazard analysis, telecommunications, and CCTV. The result is electrical infrastructure that improves functionality, supports operational demands, and is designed with the future needs of the facility in mind.
Frequently asked questions
We serve municipal, commercial, higher education, and public works clients across a wide range of facility types. That includes new construction and renovations for government buildings, schools and universities, water and wastewater treatment facilities, public safety buildings, commercial offices, and industrial operations. Our approach adapts to the specific operational demands of each facility type.
Sustainability is built into our design process from the start, not treated as an add-on. We use energy modeling and load analysis to identify opportunities to reduce consumption without sacrificing occupant comfort. That balance between performance and efficiency carries through every system we design, from HVAC and lighting to building automation and energy controls.
Commissioning is a systematic process for verifying that a building’s mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems are installed correctly and performing as designed. It catches issues that might otherwise go unnoticed until they affect comfort, efficiency, or equipment life. We also provide retro-commissioning for existing buildings, which evaluates how systems are performing relative to their original design intent and identifies opportunities for improvement.
Yes. Having mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering under one roof means these systems are designed together rather than in parallel by separate firms. That coordination reduces conflicts during construction, improves system integration, and gives clients a single point of accountability for all building systems.
Our electrical engineers work across voltage classes from 120V to 765kV, which means our capability extends well beyond typical building electrical. We provide power generation and distribution design, substation design and equipment upgrades, relay and protection systems, and renewable energy interconnection alongside building-level work like lighting, access control, arc flash analysis, and telecommunications.
Yes. Our engineers provide construction administration support to ensure that what gets installed matches what was designed. We also offer commissioning services at project completion to verify that all systems are operating as intended before the building is turned over to the owner. That continuity from design through startup helps avoid the performance gaps that can occur when different teams handle different phases.
