Engineering Process
Our engineering service is tailored for professionals such as architects, landscape architects, developers, and contractors who require expert technical input to transform their designs into fully functional, constructable projects. We provide detailed structural and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) engineering services, ensuring that every element of the design is developed with precision and adherence to all necessary technical standards.
The first step is a comprehensive review of the existing design, which is typically provided as part of a 25% schematic design set. In this phase, we collaborate with architects and other relevant professionals to define critical ele ments such as the vessel type, equipment locations, and the sizing of key components. We also assess the complexity of the structures and ensure everything is planned to fit as intended. This preparatory phase allows us to align on the project ’ s scope and make informed decisions before advancing to the next stage of development.
Once the initial review is complete, we move into the design development phase. At this stage, we provide in - depth development of the design, which includes integ rating detailed structural and MEP information. Coordination with all other project disciplines — such as the house engineers — is essential at this point to prevent any conflicts between systems or structural elements. This phase focuses on fully realizing th e technical components of the design, ensuring a smooth transition to the construction phase.
The next step is to develop a complete construction documentation set, which includes every detail required for constructi on. While we do not handle the actual submission for permits, we prepare the design to be permit - ready, ensuring compliance with all necessary codes and regulations. This final set of drawings contains everything needed to proceed with construction and is finalized to the highest standards.
After the permit set has been submitted by the project team, our role is to assist with any comments or revisions requested by the city or regulatory bodies. We address these comments promptl y, ensuring that the necessary changes are made to achieve approval without delays. Our team works closely with all stakeholders to ensure a smooth process from submission to permit issuance.
As part of our engineering services, we also provide adetailed construction cost budget analysis based on the finalized design. This analysis givesclients a comprehensive understanding of the expected costs associated with theconstruction, helping them plan and budget effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of construction drawings are included in your engineering services?
Our engineering services include comprehensive sets of structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) drawings. These drawings are critical for ensuring that all design elements are properly integrated and that the project adheres to relevant codes and standards. Our structural drawings detail load-bearing components and connections, while MEP drawings cover everything from HVAC systems to electrical layouts, ensuring a fullycoordinated design.
How do you coordinate construction drawings with architectural plans?
We work closely with architects and landscape architects to ensure seamless integration of our construction drawings with architectural plans. Using Building Information Modeling (BIM) and advanced CAD tools, we align all structural and MEP elements with the architectural intent, reducing the risk of conflicts during construction and ensuring that the project vision is fully realized.
How do you handle revisions and updates to construction drawings during the project?
Revisions are managed efficiently using digital platforms such as Bluebeam Revu, which allows for real-time collaboration and markup. This ensures that any necessary adjustments are communicated swiftly to all stakeholders, minimizing delays. We maintain rigorous version control to ensure that the construction team always works with the most current and accurate drawings.
What role do as - built drawings play in your engineering services?
As-built drawings are a crucial part of our service, providing a final, accurate record of the project as constructed. These drawings capture all deviations from the original construction documents and are essential for future maintenance, renovations, or expansions. We ensure that as-built documentation is thorough and reflects the final built condition precisely.
How does your use of BIM enhance the construction drawing process ?
BIM allows us to create highly detailed 3D models that integrate all aspects of the building’s design, including structural, MEP, and architectural elements. This holistic approach facilitates better coordination and clash detection, significantly reducing the likelihood of errors during construction. For architects and landscape architects, this means greater confidence in the feasibility and precision of the design.
What should architects and landscape architects expect in terms of collaboration during the engineering phase?
Collaboration is central to our approach. We engage with the design team from the outset to understand the architectural vision and ensure that our engineering solutions support and enhance it. Regular coordination meetings and continuous feedback loops are integral to our process, ensuring that the final construction documents are fully aligned with the project’s design objectives.
