MEP engineering in Austin
HVAC, plumbing, electrical and fire protection design, energy code compliance and shop drawings for buildings in Austin and across Texas, from our office on Balcones Drive.
Our Austin office serves owners, developers, architects and contractors in Austin and across Texas. Behind it is the same engineering team that has designed our US projects: a high-rise rental tower and a public safety center in Northern California, and apartment buildings, medical offices, homes, a warehouse and a sprinkler upgrade in New York City and Long Island.
We design the mechanical, plumbing, electrical and fire protection systems, prepare the permit drawings and energy code documents, and produce shop drawings and coordination models for contractors. Each project below opens on its own page with the systems, loads and drawing sets behind it.
What we design in Austin
Energy code compliance
COMcheck and REScheck reports, and energy models where a building needs the performance path.
Energy modeling →HVAC load calculations
Room-by-room heating and cooling loads, ordered on their own for a permit, an equipment replacement or a renovation.
Load calculations →Restaurant & franchise MEP
Kitchen exhaust, make-up air, grease waste, gas and electrical design for restaurants and franchise roll-outs.
Restaurant MEP →Shop drawings & BIM
Sheet metal, piping and overhead coordination shop drawings and clash checks for mechanical and plumbing contractors.
Shop drawings & BIM →Support for contractors
Design-build MEP packages, submittal reviews, RFI answers and single calculations for trade and general contractors.
Contractor services →Designing for Austin
Every Austin project is designed around the local codes, the energy code and the climate from the first drawing.
01
Local codes
Drawings to the building, mechanical, plumbing, electrical and fire codes the City of Austin - or the city or county you build in - has adopted, with its local amendments.
02
Energy code
Compliance by COMcheck or REScheck, or by an energy model where the building needs the performance path, as on our New York projects.
03
A hot, humid climate
Cooling loads, outdoor air and dehumidification designed together, room by room, so the equipment is not oversized and the spaces stay dry.
04
Fire protection
Sprinkler design with hydraulic calculations against a hydrant flow test, and addressable fire alarm systems, as on our Fordham project.
