What We Do

Leading provider of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) subcontractor services and support solutions. With a legacy dating back to 1977, we have earned a reputation for excellence in engineering, VDC, manufacturing, wholesale distribution, fabrication, and modular assembly. Our commitment to innovation drives us to understand customer challenges, enabling us to refine solutions and improve project efficiency. We pride ourselves in driving down installation costs, accelerating construction sequencing, and enhancing jobsite safety. Our identity embodies the power of innovation, value of experience, and commitment to excellence. Central to our success is our dynamic team of over 700+ professionals. Our team includes engineers, technical experts in Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), project managers, detailers, and dedicated support personnel. Each member possesses training and expertise in areas such as MEP support design, Building Information Modeling (BIM), pipe and duct stress analysis, vibration isolation, fabrication, and seismic bracing. This unique blend of skills empowers projects and MEP subcontractors, particularly when integrated early into design and preconstruction. Our team’s expertise facilitates seamless client interactions, efficient material procurement, coordinated engineering and BIM efforts, sequenced delivery, streamlined installation, and final sign-off. “Total Support” in our name represents our core belief in delivering holistic solutions. Our design approach revolves around collaboration, breaking down silos between engineering and construction.

This fosters a unified front, enabling team members to work together throughout design and construction, promptly addressing any emerging challenges. Our collaborative process reduces project completion times, even in the most demanding circumstances.
