An MEP designer develops and documents a building's mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. Working with the engineer of record, they lay out ductwork, piping, fixtures, lighting and power, build Revit MEP models, prepare equipment and panel schedules, support load and sizing calculations, and coordinate MEP systems with the architecture and structure.
Mechanical (HVAC) designers; electrical designers for power, lighting and low voltage; plumbing and fire protection designers; and MEP Revit designers who model systems for coordination and prefabrication.

Our MEP designers have worked on US projects and are familiar with the IMC, IPC, NEC and NFPA requirements their drawings must reflect. Final code review stays with your engineer of record.
Yes. Our MEP designers are based in Latin America, within one to three hours of US time zones, and normally keep full US business hours so they join your meetings and calls live.

You get a shortlist of three vetted MEP designers within 24 hours of your call. Most clients interview the same week and have their hire working within 24 to 72 hours of choosing.
