What MEP coordination covers
MEP engineering coordination on Denver-metro projects means bringing design professionals into mechanical, electrical, and plumbing scopes: HVAC loads and duct layouts, electrical one-lines and panel schedules, plumbing risers, and energy-code documentation. The general contractor coordinates schedule, permitting, and construction around sealed drawings. A municipally licensed Denver general contractor does not replace the engineer of record; it coordinates design professionals and the build team. Cost is project-specific and depends on building type and system complexity.

What buyers should prepare
Project type (tenant finish, addition, equipment swap), any existing drawings, and known panel, HVAC, or plumbing capacity limits.
FAQ
Common questions
How much does Site visit and written estimate cost in Westminster?
$149.
How do I book?
Press Book next to the job, pick a date and a morning (8–12) or afternoon (12–4) window, and pay in full. We confirm within 24 hours or refund you in full.
Who handles MEP permits and licensing?
A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates the project, design professionals, and specialty trades. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license.
Is the GC the MEP engineer of record?
No. Sealed mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design is provided by design professionals who seal the documents. The GC coordinates construction around those documents.
When is an SUDP involved?
Denver DOTI reviews Sewer Use and Drainage with most building-permit packages, including many remodels, because fixture or drainage changes can affect sewer use.
What information helps define scope?
Desired system changes, existing drawings if any, photos of equipment and panels, and city or county.

DESIGN SERVICES
Discovery & Site Analysis
Needs + preference programming, site survey, as-built documentation, feasibility.
We walk, measure, and photograph your property — existing conditions, utilities, structure, and constraints. You get the as-built documentation and feasibility read that every later decision rests on.
Learn more →Concept Design & Space Planning
Schematic design, floor plan studies, layout options.
Your scope becomes schematic floor plans you can compare side by side — circulation, daylight, adjacencies, and what each option does to the budget. Layout decisions happen on paper, where changes are cheap.
Learn more →Architectural Design & 3D Renderings
Design development, materials + finishes, photorealistic visualization.
The chosen concept resolves into materials, finishes, fixtures, and lighting — with the automation layer drawn in. Photorealistic renderings let you walk the space and adjust before anything is priced.
Learn more →Construction Documents & Permitting
Full CD sets, structural + MEP engineering coordination, permit-ready drawings.
Approved designs become coordinated architectural, structural, and MEP sheets — the set your jurisdiction permits from and trades build from. We submit, track, and answer review comments.

New Construction & Custom Homes
Ground-up homes and light commercial, dirt to keys.
