MEP engineering for offices & workspaces.
Tenant improvements move fast. We take the markups from the architect and return coordinated power, lighting, HVAC and plumbing sheets.
In shortOffice fit-outs and tenant improvements are turned around from the architect's markups: power and data, lighting and controls to the energy code, HVAC zoning and diffuser layout, and restroom and kitchenette plumbing.

Questions about office fit-outs.
What do you need to start an office fit-out or tenant improvement?
The architect's plans or markups, the landlord's tenant criteria, the building's base MEP information and the project address. We return coordinated power, lighting, HVAC and plumbing sheets, usually from markups within a day or two.
How are lighting and controls designed to the energy code?
We lay out the lighting for the task levels, check lighting power against the energy code, and add the required controls such as occupancy sensing, daylight zones and dimming, then document it for the compliance report.
How do you tie a tenant space into the base building?
We check the capacity of the landlord's panels, risers and air handling, size the tenant panel and branch circuits, zone and size the HVAC distribution for the space, and show the tie-in points the building requires.
Can you model the fit-out in Revit?
Yes. We model the services in your Revit template and coordinate them with the ceiling, partitions and structure so the sheets agree.
Which MEP services do you offer for office fit-outs?
For office fit-outs we provide electrical, mechanical and plumbing design assist, plus MEP drafting and Revit modeling. Typical scope includes power and data layouts, zoning and load calculation and restrooms and kitchenettes. The exact scope is agreed before we start.
Where do you provide MEP drafting and modeling for office fit-outs?
In every region we serve: the US and Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Finland and the Middle East. In the US and Canada we also prepare the mechanical and plumbing calculations; elsewhere mechanical and plumbing come as design assist, drafting and modeling. See regions.
