MEP Engineering

Complete Systems Design

Behind every functional building are invisible systems that make living comfortable—mechanical, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure that rarely gets attention until something fails. Rooftop projects add complexity: gas lines for outdoor kitchens must navigate multiple floors, electrical loads for hot tubs and entertainment systems require dedicated circuits, and drainage must integrate with building-wide plumbing. Poor MEP coordination leads to change orders, torn-out work, and frustrated homeowners.

Our engineering team addresses MEP requirements at project inception, not as an afterthought. We calculate heating and cooling loads for new additions, size electrical panels for current and future demands, and route plumbing runs before walls close up. This integrated approach catches conflicts on paper—where they cost nothing to fix—rather than in the field where they cost thousands.

Chicago's building code has specific requirements for outdoor mechanical equipment, gas appliance venting, and electrical in wet locations. Our MEP documentation satisfies inspectors because it's prepared by engineers who understand both the technical standards and the practical realities of urban construction.
