Services
Preconstruction/Design Assist
Our preconstruction team leverages over 100 years of combined estimating experience to create accurate budgets during early design phases. Using in-house pricing data from thousands of bids, we maintain budget integrity throughout construction. This expertise makes us a preferred design-assist partner for general contractors seeking cost-effective, reliable project planning.
Design/Build
With three licensed engineers and on-site CAD/BIM capabilities, we handle complete design-build projects from concept to execution. Our team understands diverse occupancy requirements and delivers customized mechanical solutions that meet technical specifications while optimizing efficiency and cost-effectiveness for clients.
BIM Modeling
Our BIM experts use Revit MEP, AutoCAD MEP, and Navisworks to create detailed digital facility models. This technology enables collaborative design, clash detection, and virtual system visualization, reducing field errors by 30% and improving productivity across multi-discipline construction projects.
Mechanical Installation
We install air-cooled DX, condenser-water, and chilled-water systems using a skilled labor force capable of handling complex, accelerated projects. Our expertise covers large-scale commercial HVAC installations with strict adherence to safety standards and performance requirements.
FARS Installation
As one of Texas' few certified FARS installers, we deploy firefighter air replenishment systems that enable rapid air bottle refills within buildings. Our solutions eliminate manual air bottle transport, enhancing safety during high-rise and deep-structure firefighting operations.
