Licensed mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers producing sealed MEP drawings and calculations for permit. Load-verified HVAC, NEC-compliant power and lighting, and code-compliant water, waste and vent design — coordinated on one set so the disciplines do not contradict each other in plan review.

Most MEP rejections are not design errors. They are coordination errors: a duct through a beam, a panel with no clearance, a vent that cannot reach the roof. Keeping all three disciplines with one engineering team removes that category of problem entirely.
Room-by-room Manual J load calculations, equipment selection and Manual S sizing, Manual D duct design, ventilation rates per ASHRAE 62, exhaust and make-up air, and energy code compliance documentation.
Service and feeder sizing, panel schedules, branch circuit design, load calculations per NEC Article 220, lighting layouts and photometrics, receptacle and device plans, grounding, and fault-current and AIC coordination.
Domestic hot and cold water sizing, sanitary drainage and vent design, fixture unit calculations, storm and roof drainage, gas piping sizing and pressure drop, water heater sizing and riser diagrams.
ACCA Manual J, S and D calculations for residential work and full block/zone load modelling for commercial, with equipment schedules, ductwork, diffusers and controls documented for permit.
Service entrance sizing, panel schedules, single-line diagrams, branch circuiting and NEC Article 220 load calculations — including EV charger and solar interconnection loads where they apply.
Interior and exterior lighting layouts with fixture schedules, switching and controls, egress and emergency lighting, and photometric calculations where the jurisdiction or energy code requires them.
Supply sizing by fixture units and pressure loss, sanitary and vent layouts, cleanouts, isometrics and riser diagrams drawn to the plumbing code your jurisdiction has adopted.
Natural gas and propane pipe sizing with pressure-drop calculations, appliance venting, combustion air, and kitchen and bathroom exhaust designed to code minimums or better.
COMcheck and REScheck documentation, envelope and system compliance paths, and the supporting forms building departments increasingly require with the MEP submittal.

Quoted against a written sheet list before work starts, so you know exactly which drawings, schedules and calculations you are paying for.
Integrated MEP sheets that respect your ceiling heights, chases and shaft locations instead of forcing redesign late in the permit process.
Stamped, permit-ready MEP drawings that meet code and give your mechanical, electrical and plumbing subs a coordinated set to price and install from.
Renovation and modernisation of existing HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems, including capacity checks on the service before new loads are added.
Hood and make-up air, grease waste, high-load kitchen circuits and the ventilation calculations that tenant improvement reviews always ask for.
Send the architectural plans, the project address, the intended use and occupancy, and any utility or permit comments already issued.
We confirm which of the three disciplines you need, the governing code editions and the schedule, then return a written fixed fee at no cost.
Loads are calculated, systems are sized and the three disciplines are coordinated against each other and the architecture before a PE licensed in your state reviews the set.
Sealed, signed PDFs ready for the permit portal, plus support through plan-review comments until the permit is issued.
Engineering is bought on trust long before it is bought on price. These are the commitments every Residential PE engagement carries, in writing, from the first message.
Consultations and quotes cost nothing. You receive one written fixed fee against a written sheet list — no hourly billing, no surprise add-ons.
Every drawing is sealed by a professional engineer holding an active licence in your project’s state, and we confirm who that engineer is before you commit.
If the plan reviewer returns comments, we revise the sealed drawings and respond as part of the original fee — never as a change order.
Drawings, surveys and site information are used only to engineer your project. They are never resold, published or used as portfolio material without consent.
Most standard packages are sealed and returned within two to three business days, so engineering is never the reason a permit slips.
Questions reach an engineer, not a call centre. Open the live chat and you are talking to someone who can actually scope and price the job.
Depending on the disciplines you need: mechanical plans and load calculations, electrical power and lighting plans with panel schedules and NEC load calculations, and plumbing supply, sanitary, vent and gas plans with sizing calculations — plus energy compliance documentation and the engineer’s seal. The exact sheet list is agreed in writing before work begins.
Yes. Many projects only need mechanical, or only electrical. You are quoted per discipline, so you never pay for sheets your building department is not asking for. If you are unsure which are required, send us the permit comments and we will tell you.
Yes. Residential HVAC work includes ACCA Manual J room-by-room load calculations, Manual S equipment selection and Manual D duct design as standard, because most residential plan reviewers now request them explicitly. Commercial projects receive a block or zone load report instead.
Yes. Energy code compliance documentation is prepared and submitted with the MEP package where the jurisdiction requires it, using the code edition and compliance path that jurisdiction has adopted.
Yes. Every project is assigned to a professional engineer holding an active licence in the state where the project is permitted, because a seal is only valid in the state of licensure. We confirm the engineer of record for your state before you commit to anything.
Most standard residential and light commercial MEP packages are delivered within 48 to 72 hours of receiving complete architectural information. Larger or multi-storey commercial projects are quoted with a specific schedule up front.
That is the normal starting point and the fastest path. We need the floor plans, reflected ceiling plans if they exist, elevations and the intended occupancy. A clean architectural background lets us coordinate the MEP systems properly rather than guessing at clearances.
We respond and revise as part of the original engagement rather than as a change order. The engineer of record stays on the project until the permit is issued.
Most permit packages need more than one discipline. Keeping them with one firm removes the coordination gaps between sheets that cause the majority of plan-review rejections.
Site plans, grading and earthwork, drainage and stormwater, utilities and paving — sealed for permit.
Framing, foundations and retaining walls with live, dead, wind, seismic and snow load calculations.
Already have drawings? We review an existing set against local code and apply a licensed PE seal.
Layout, elevations, electrical and plumbing plans, plus sealed structural calculations when a wall comes out.
Design plans and site documents with engineered grading, drainage, stormwater and retaining wall design.
Send your architectural plans and we will confirm which disciplines you need, the engineer of record for your state and a firm price — usually the same business day, at no cost.
