Why Choose Builder Scaled Engineering
Licensed Review
Engineering review and seals are provided where required for the project's discipline, location, and jurisdiction.
Project-Specific Scheduling
Scope, available design inputs, and coordination requirements establish the engineering schedule for your project.
Jurisdiction-Informed Design
Design considers applicable codes, accessibility requirements, and local standards. Reviewing agencies determine permit approval.
Set the scope first
Connect the building and the site.
Start with your plans, location, intended use, and proposed work. We identify the disciplines and information needed, then define the deliverables and coordination responsibilities for your project.
Deliverables are project-specific. Confirm inclusions, exclusions, and review support in the agreed scope.
01 / Establish the inputs
Review architectural plans, site information, existing conditions, and project objectives. Identify missing surveys, soil reports, or equipment information.
02 / Define the discipline scopes
Clarify the structural, civil, and MEP work required, along with deliverables, design interfaces, and project-specific scheduling.
03 / Develop the design
Coordinate building systems, structural elements, site elevations, and utility connections with the project team.
04 / Prepare for review
Assemble the agreed drawing and calculation package, with licensed review where required and plan-check responses within scope.
Before you begin
Project questions,
answered.
Do I need structural, civil, and MEP engineering?
Not every project needs all three. A tenant improvement may primarily need MEP, while an addition may also require structural design and site changes may need civil work. The proposed work and jurisdiction determine the necessary scope.
Can you work with our architect and general contractor?
Engineering coordination uses the architectural plans, site information, and equipment requirements as shared inputs. Clarifying responsibilities and design interfaces early helps the owner, architect, and builder work from a consistent scope.
What determines the engineering schedule?
Project size, complexity, available inputs, design changes, and review requirements all matter. A schedule should be established for the specific scope; residential turnaround expectations should not be applied to commercial work.
