Services
Building Information Modeling
Our BIM services create digital prototypes of building systems before construction begins. This technology enables clash detection, energy optimization, and equipment sizing analysis. By using 3D simulation software, we streamline design processes and improve coordination between architects, contractors, and utility providers for more efficient project delivery.
MEP Engineering
We design mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems focused on occupant comfort and operational efficiency. Our human-centered approach creates intelligent MEP solutions tailored to building users' behaviors. This methodology has been successfully implemented in major projects like San Francisco's NEMA residential high-rise and Gap Headquarters, ensuring optimal system performance and energy conservation.
Sustainability Consulting
Our sustainability experts use advanced analytical tools to optimize building performance while reducing environmental impact. With 20+ years of experience, we've helped clients achieve LEED certification and reduce lifecycle costs through energy-efficient system design. This approach was instrumental in developing Disney's first LEED-certified resort in Hawaii.
Mission-Critical Infrastructure
We engineer power and switching infrastructure for data centers, call centers, and server farms requiring 99.9% uptime. Our designs incorporate redundancy and synchronization standards to ensure continuous operation. This expertise supports critical systems for Silicon Valley's technology companies and national telecommunications providers.
Commissioning
Our integrated commissioning process verifies system design intent and owner requirements throughout a project's lifecycle. Through testing and training, we optimize building performance for new constructions, retrofits, and LEED-certified projects. This service ensures systems operate as intended while maximizing investment value.
