At BCE Engineering, every project begins with a clear objective: to deliver technically sound, code-compliant, and energy-efficient systems that bring architectural visions to life.
We partner with architects, engineers, and developers across the United States to provide Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) design solutions tailored to each project’s scale, function, and jurisdiction.
Our approach emphasizes systematic coordination, precise documentation, and efficient permit delivery — ensuring every project meets the highest standards of performance, safety, and energy compliance.
Residential Projects
At BCE Engineering, we design residential MEP systems that combine comfort, efficiency, and full code compliance. Our team ensures every home — from single-family houses to multi-unit buildings — achieves optimal indoor climate, lighting performance, and utility distribution in line with U.S. building and energy regulations.
Scope includes:
- HVAC design for cooling, heating, and ventilation using Manual J and Manual JSD (ASHRAE-compliant).
- Electrical systems: lighting and power layouts, receptacle distribution, panel schedules, single-line diagrams, and voltage drop calculations.
- Plumbing systems: water, sewer, and gas line design, meter and pressure regulator sizing, water heater and fixture selection, vent and sewer line sizing.
- Fire protection systems compliant with NFPA codes, including sprinklers, smoke and CO detectors, and hydraulic calculations.
- Coordination with architects and designers to align systems with aesthetics, function, and client requirements.
- Preparation of energy and MEP permit documentation for submission to local authorities.
Commercial Projects
Commercial projects require precision, safety, and scalability. BCE delivers MEP solutions that optimize energy performance, ensure occupant safety, and comply with all relevant mechanical, electrical, and plumbing codes. We provide fully engineered systems and permit-ready documentation tailored to business operations and regulatory standards.
Scope includes:
- Complete HVAC systems for multi-zone buildings and complex occupancy needs.
- Electrical systems with detailed load analysis, fault current calculation, lighting controls, and backup power design.
- Plumbing design for large-scale distribution, sanitary systems, and gas installations.
- Fire and life safety systems compliant with NFPA and local building codes.
- Integration of energy efficiency measures and compliance with local energy codes.
- Coordination with architects, engineers, and interior designers to provide the most suitable system specifications.
- Deliverables include all drawings and documents required for MEP and energy permit approvals.
Retail & Restaurant Projects
Retail and hospitality environments demand a balance between performance, safety, and customer experience. At BCE, we develop MEP systems that meet stringent health and safety codes while supporting the design intent and operational flow of each business.
Scope includes:
- Ventilation systems for commercial kitchens and retail environments, including hood specifications, grease duct systems, and exhaust solutions.
- Electrical layouts for lighting, signage, power distribution, and equipment load management.
- Plumbing systems designed for kitchens, bars, and restrooms with no-contamination procedures and compliance with health department standards.
- Gas distribution systems and pressure regulation for cooking and heating equipment.
- Fire suppression and alarm systems in line with NFPA and local jurisdiction requirements.
- Energy-efficient designs and documentation for MEP and health-related permit acquisition.
- Coordination with design teams to integrate technical systems seamlessly into brand and spatial design.
Industrial Projects
Industrial facilities require robust systems that support production efficiency and safety under demanding conditions. BCE provides end-to-end MEP design and compliance solutions that address high-load operations, specialized ventilation, and strict safety protocols.
Scope includes:
- Mechanical systems for process ventilation, heat rejection, and climate control tailored to facility operations.
- Electrical infrastructure: power distribution, control systems, grounding, and voltage drop optimization.
- Plumbing and utility piping for industrial applications, water treatment, gas, and process waste management.
- Fire suppression systems engineered to meet industrial hazard classifications under NFPA.
- Energy compliance studies and coordination for permit submissions.
- Integration with process engineers and facility planners to ensure seamless coordination and optimal performance.
Healthcare Projects
Healthcare environments demand precision, safety, and regulatory excellence. BCE’s MEP designs for hospitals, clinics, and medical facilities meet the highest standards for air quality, energy performance, and life safety — ensuring reliability in critical systems.
Scope includes:
HVAC systems designed for clean air delivery, humidity control, and infection prevention in compliance with healthcare ventilation standards.
Electrical systems including emergency power supply, lighting control, and critical equipment power distribution.
Plumbing systems for medical gas, water, and drainage — ensuring hygiene and code compliance.
Fire and life safety systems designed per NFPA and healthcare facility codes.
Coordination with architects, medical planners, and consultants to meet both functional and clinical needs.
Preparation of permit-ready documentation for energy, MEP, and health department approvals.
