Your project. Our engineering.

Building systems, planned together.

Lightning Engineering provides mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering for buildings with different uses and operating needs. We develop the engineering scope around the project plans, building systems and information provided by your team.

What we provide

Engineering services for your project

The engineering scope is tailored to the work you propose.

01

Mechanical engineering

HVAC system design and load calculations support heating, cooling and ventilation planning. Our team considers the building’s use, layout and mechanical requirements as part of the design.

02

Electrical engineering

Electrical plans address the power and lighting systems included in your project. Coordinate equipment information and the proposed layout with our team at the start of the design process.

03

Plumbing engineering

Plumbing design coordinates water supply, drainage and the systems required for the building. Existing conditions and the proposed fixture or equipment layout help define the work.

04

Energy calculations & COMChecks

Energy calculations and energy-code documentation support the project’s design and review process. The documentation needed depends on the building, location and scope.

05

Photometric plans & site lighting

Lighting plans and photometric services are available for projects that require them. Include the site layout and lighting requirements in your request.

06

New construction & renovations

MEP design is available for new buildings and changes to existing spaces. Share existing plans and the proposed use so the team can review which systems need to be addressed.

01 / Project considerations

Commercial and residential projects

Our MEP services support projects ranging from homes to commercial interiors and larger facilities. The engineering is coordinated around the building’s intended use and operating requirements.

  • Single-family homes and multifamily residences
  • Offices, retail spaces and mixed-use buildings
  • Restaurants and tenant improvements
  • Industrial and other commercial facilities
02 / Project considerations

A clear starting point for coordinated plans

MEP plans show the layout and design information for the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems in the agreed scope. Providing the current architectural layout and equipment information helps the disciplines work from the same project requirements.

  • Current architectural floor plans
  • Building use and proposed occupancy information
  • Equipment, fixture and lighting information, where available
  • Existing systems and permit review comments
Getting started

From your request to engineering plans.

A clear sequence for defining and coordinating your project.

  1. Share the project

    Send the location, proposed work and available plans or photographs.

  2. Confirm the scope

    We review your request and confirm fees, deliverables and timing in the proposal.

  3. Coordinate the design

    The team reviews the project information and identifies any further details needed.

  4. Receive the deliverables

    Engineering documents are provided within the agreed scope. Share review comments for next steps.

A useful starting point

What to send with your request

  • Project address, building use and approximate size
  • Current architectural plans and available existing drawings
  • Equipment schedules and known utility or system requirements
  • Permit comments, project contacts and target schedule
Common questions

Before you get started.

More details about mep engineering and working with our team.

What does MEP stand for?

MEP stands for mechanical, electrical and plumbing. These disciplines address the building systems that support comfort, power, lighting, water supply and drainage.

Do you work on both new buildings and renovations?

Yes. We provide MEP engineering for new construction and renovation projects. The work needed is reviewed against the existing systems and proposed changes.

Can energy calculations be included?

Yes. Energy calculations and COMCheck services are available. Tell us what your project and reviewing jurisdiction require so the proposal can identify the appropriate deliverables.

What does your engineering scope include?

Professional engineering and design services for the agreed project scope.

How are fees and timing determined?

The project’s scope, complexity and information requirements affect fees and timing. Scope, deliverables and timing are confirmed in your proposal.
