EXPERTISE

Passionate about fueling client success through the delivery of integrated solutions, we analyze Mechanical Design, Electrical Design, Plumbing Design, Architectural Lighting Design, Communications & Audiovisual (AV), Security & Risk Design, Energy Services, and Commissioning Service in tandem to maximize efficiency, minimize operating costs, and manage risk. This multidisciplinary approach yields synergies that result in projects of the highest quality, and efficiencies with regards to design, budget, human capital and timelines.

Mechanical systems have a direct impact on the human experience within any building. Human comfort is not just a thermal issue; it comes from the knowledge that our lives and the properties we inhabit are protected by integrated fire protection systems, clean tap water, responsible energy usage, prime indoor air quality, and proper process requirements. We effectively engineer optimal environments, and frequently update our knowledge and skills to develop and deliver state-of-the-art systems. Through teamwork, creativity, and cutting edge expertise, we develop appropriate solutions that balance performance against capital and operating costs.

COMMUNICATIONS

Understanding the role that technology plays in buildings today, and how it affects all disciplines, low-voltage (communication) building systems provide knowledgeable workers and building operators with the tools they need to excel in their marketplace. Voice, data, wireless, security, fire safety, access control, building automation, and multi-media systems are all essential elements of interactive building systems, and each must be tailored for today’s workforce. We design and document intelligent building systems to benefit the occupants as well as the building owners while counteracting technological obsolescence.
