Elevated + integrated design

 

Integrated engineering is integral to our services. Our in-house engineers play an early and crucial role in every project stage, contributing to planning, design, construction and performance decisions. Plus, we continuously evaluate and evolve our approach to ensure we always engage our internal resources—and external partners when needed—at the right time.

Structural Engineering + Systems Design

Structural systems serve more than a functional purpose – the best combine function, creativity, aesthetics, coordination and cost management for an ideal solution. Our structural engineers work seamlessly with other in-house disciplines to deliver this promise.

Our structural engineering services include:

  • Wood, Steel, Concrete and Masonry Design for Both Renovations and New Construction
  • Steel Connection Design
  • Monumental and Metal Pan Stair Design
  • Deep and Shallow Foundation Systems
  • Cast-in-place Retaining Walls
  • Sub-Grade Parking Structures

Mechanical Engineering + Systems Design

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) are crucial for the well-being of occupants and functionality of any space. Our design and engineering teams collaborate closely to fine-tune HVAC systems for peak energy efficiency. Not only do we aim for cost-effectiveness, but sustainability is also a cornerstone of our approach, ensuring your space is as high-performing as it is comfortable.

Our mechanical engineering services include:

  • Air Distribution Systems
  • Chilled Water / Hot Water / Steam Systems
  • Central Energy Plants
  • Building Automation Systems
  • Geothermal Systems
  • Sustainable Design + Energy Analysis

Plumbing Engineering + Systems Design

While plumbing may not be the first thing you think of, it’s essential for any functional space. We focus on reliability, maintenance and adaptability in our plumbing designs. Our coordinated approach ensures these systems integrate seamlessly with mechanical, structural and architectural elements, giving you peace of mind and a harmonious environment.

Our plumbing engineering services include:

  • Domestic Water Systems
  • Compressed Air Systems
  • Laboratory + Medical Gas Systems
  • Vacuum Systems

Electrical Engineering + Systems Design

Electrical systems are more than just wiring; they’re the lifeblood of any building. We combine advanced engineering with insightful design to create efficient, easy-to-maintain electrical solutions for both high and low-voltage needs. We don’t just stop at the technical aspects; lighting is also a vital part of our approach, seamlessly integrating with your interior design and finishes to elevate the overall experience.

Our electrical engineering services include:

  • Lighting Design
  • Daylight Harvesting
  • Low-Medium Voltage Power / Fire Alarm
  • Short Circuit, Coordination + Arc Flash Analysis
  • Emergency / Standby Systems / UPS
  • Security Design

Deferred + Corrective Maintenance

Managing and adequately funding responsible correction of deferred maintenance can be daunting. We offer a strategic approach to helping facility managers, owners and finance officers deliver successful corrective maintenance programs as part of their overall facilities management strategy.

Our CMProgram® helps you:

  • Identify and quantify deferred maintenance backlogs
  • Prioritize corrective action
  • Forecast and justify capital improvements
  • Track, administer and manage corrective action through a web-based platform

MEP Design Assistance

Owners and contractors face many challenges when coordinating and managing structural and MEP engineering during the various project phases – it’s a labor-intensive process and requires a high level of quality control, attention to detail and rapid coordination between multiple parties.

We excel at this intersection between design and construction. Our highly technical team offers practical field experience to manage these activities so projects finish on schedule and within budget.

Let us help you:

  • Develop preliminary (early schematic design to design development) layouts to show design intent, routing, equipment locations, etc.
  • Run preliminary load estimates for establishing service, system and equipment capacities
  • Coordinate heat and cooling, plumbing and electrical with existing systems and review options for system configurations
  • Create performance specifications
  • Coordinate and model MEP fabrication
  • Review documents during the construction phase
