Infrastructure Resiliency
We support owners, architects, and project teams with engineering insight from early-stage studies through detailed design review. Our services include facility assessments, feasibility studies, and master planning support, with a focus on system performance, infrastructure strategy, and practical, buildable outcomes.
We design HVAC systems that perform reliably, meet code, and support long-term facility goals. From central steam boiler plants to air distribution, every system is tailored to the building’s use, budget, and operational needs. Our designs are developed in Revit for clear, coordinated construction documents, with Autodesk Construction Cloud used for streamlined collaboration when needed.
We help clients modernize aging HVAC systems to improve energy efficiency, reliability, and indoor air quality. Using LiDAR scanning and BIM tools, we document existing conditions accurately and design upgrades that minimize disruption and maximize long-term value. Whether addressing ventilation, controls, or equipment replacements, our retrofit solutions are tailored to each building’s real-world constraints.
We develop clean, practical mechanical models in Revit — whether for coordination, documentation, or as-built deliverables. We also offer targeted BIM training to help internal teams improve accuracy, efficiency, and confidence in their modeling workflows.
We use high-resolution LiDAR scanning to generate accurate point cloud data and geometry for existing facilities. From there, we create BIM-ready models that reflect real-world conditions — enabling smarter planning, clearer documentation, and fewer surprises during construction.
