MEP Engineering & Consulting Services for Construction Projects
Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing systems are the backbone of any building—but designing them right requires technical know-how, local code knowledge, and the ability to keep up with fast-moving project timelines. If you’re a contractor without an in-house engineer, we’re here to help.
Calrisk offers MEP engineering services for contractors across Southern California, providing direct access to experienced professionals who design, consult, and stamp the plans you need to get your projects permitted and built. Whether you’re a general contractor taking on design-build work or a specialty trade needing stamped MEP calculations, we’ve got you covered.
What MEP Engineering Support Means for Your Project
MEP stands for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing—three critical systems that have to work together and meet local code requirements.
Our engineering consultants can:
- Design and stamp HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems
- Provide precise calculations and load analyses
- Deliver permit-ready, code-compliant drawings for both residential and commercial projects
- Step in to troubleshoot issues, revise existing plans, or offer value-engineered alternatives
You get expert support without the cost or commitment of hiring full-time staff.

- Replacing a commercial HVAC system that needs new load calculations?
- Revising outdated electrical plans to meet Title 24 energy requirements?
- Looking for a cost-effective way to handle
MEP design for permit sets?

Why Contractors Rely on Our Engineering Team
- Fast Turnaround:
We move quickly so you’re not stuck waiting on drawings.
- California Code Familiarity:
We know the requirements from LA to the Inland Empire—less back-and-forth with plan reviewers.
- Integrated Approach:
We can coordinate with your project manager or your drafter so MEP fits into your full drawing set.
- Cost-Effective:
Only pay for engineering when you need it. No overhead, no staff to manage.
A Smart Move for Risk Management
Mistakes in MEP design can lead to costly delays or even code violations. By working with licensed engineers upfront, you reduce rework and potential liability. We help prevent design-related errors that might otherwise turn into insurance claims or construction defects.
(P.S. If you’re taking on design yourself, you may need Professional Liability coverage. Learn more about E&O for Contractors.)
