Multidisciplinary engineering · USA

Drawings, engineering and estimates that agree with each other.

Permit-ready architecture, structural and MEP engineering, shop drawings, BIM and construction estimates for contractors, developers, designers and homeowners. One team works every discipline, so conflicts get resolved in the model, not in the field.

Coordination, not decoration

One model. Every discipline, checked against each other.

Toggle the drawing layers to isolate each trade, exactly as our coordinators do before a set is issued. Then watch a real clash get found and fixed in the model — before it ever reaches the field.

What we do

80 TOTAL

Eighty services in eight disciplines.

Order a single sheet or the whole set. When we handle more than one discipline, we coordinate them in-house before anything is issued.

Often paired with: MEP Engineering · Estimating and Takeoffs

Estimating & takeoffs

Estimates you can check against the drawings.

Every quantity is tied to a highlighted area, line or count on a specific sheet, so your estimator can audit a number instead of measuring it again. Select a row — or a highlight on the plan.

How we work

How a project moves through the office.

Six steps from the first email to the approved set, logged like revisions so you always know which version you are looking at.

  1. R0

    Transmittal

    You send what exists: sketches, photos, a survey, an old permit set or just an address.

    DeliverableA written scope and a fixed fee.
  2. R1

    Kickoff

    We confirm the code path, the disciplines involved and the dates.

    DeliverableA schedule with issue dates.
  3. R2

    Design

    A first pass of the drawings, for your markups.

    DeliverableProgress set, PDF.
  4. R3

    Coordination

    Architecture, structure and MEP are overlaid and checked against each other. Clashes get fixed in-house.

    DeliverableCoordinated set.
  5. R4

    Review and Issue

    Code review and a second set of eyes on every sheet before anything is issued.

    DeliverableIssued for permit, bid or construction.
  6. R5

    Plan Check

    We answer plan-check corrections and RFIs as they come in.

    DeliverableApproved set, plus native DWG and RVT files.

Post-permit

Still here after the permit: RFIs, submittals and construction administration support.

Sectors

Eleven building types, each with its own code path.

Occupancy classification comes first, because egress, fire separation, structure and MEP all follow from it.

Why us

What you can count on.

01

One Team, Every Discipline

Architecture, structure and MEP are drawn by people who work side by side and check each other’s sheets before anything is issued.

02

Drawn to Your Jurisdiction

We work to the code editions and local amendments your building department enforces, and list them on the cover sheet.

03

Numbers You Can Audit

Every takeoff line points to a sheet and a highlight, so your estimator can check a quantity instead of re-measuring it.

04

One Point of Contact

A single project lead answers your questions from the first sketch to the approved set.

05

Corrections Are Part of the Job

Plan-check comments come back on most projects. Answering them is part of our scope, not an afterthought.

06

Do Not Scale Drawings

Everything that matters is dimensioned. If a dimension is missing, that is ours to fix.
