05 — HOW WE WORK
Structured six-phase project lifecycle ensuring coordination from preliminary schematic concept to DOB sign-off.
01
DISCOVERY & SITE SURVEY
Before any calculation, we conduct comprehensive site surveys. We document existing conditions, photograph MEP spaces, and map constraints that won't appear on any initial drawing set.
02
LOAD ANALYSIS & UTILITY SIZING
Multi-trade load calculations, performed in-house. Equipment and service entries are sized to actual demand — from BTUs to Amps.
03
SCHEMATIC DESIGN
MEP concepts presented in plain language and schematic drawings. System types, distribution strategies, and spatial impact — reviewed and approved before advancing.
04
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
Full MEP drawing set and specifications produced to DOB filing standards. Coordinated across all trades to eliminate field clashes. Ready for bidding.
05
CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION
Shop drawing review, RFI responses, and site observation during installation. Verifying that the integrated MEP scope matches the design intent.
06
COMMISSIONING & HANDOFF
Functional performance testing of all systems. Final TAB and electrical certification review. Owner training on unified system operation.
06 — INITIATE CONSULTATION
Whether you're preparing schematic MEP concepts, navigating complex NYC DOB/SCA filings, or seeking high-performance BIM modeling, our team is ready to collaborate.
