Capabilities
Services
We design the systems that make a building work, and we take them through plan review.
01
MEP design
Load calculations, equipment selection, riser diagrams, panel schedules and construction documents for mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection. Schematic design through construction administration.
02
Code compliance & permitting
Florida Building Code analysis, Miami-Dade and municipal plan review, high-rise life safety and smoke control, wind load and hurricane compliance, and written responses to plan review comments.
03
Existing buildings
Milestone and 40-year recertification support, MEP peer review for developers, system condition assessment, and documentation for buildings with incomplete records.
How we start. Every project begins with a life cycle cost analysis. That evaluation balances first cost, operating cost and maintenance cost before a system is selected, so the owner is choosing the right equipment for the building's full life, not just for the permit set.
Ten disciplines
Full MEP design across every project phase.
Central HVAC systems
Chilled water, VRV and packaged systems, with DDC and central building automation.
Smoke engineering systems
Smoke control and pressurization design for high-rise and assembly occupancies.
Plumbing
Domestic water, sanitary, storm and specialty plumbing systems.
Fire sprinklers
Sprinkler and standpipe design to NFPA and local code.
Medical gases
Medical gas and vacuum systems for hospitals and clinics.
