engineers
We’re obsessed with adding value to your projects.
Our expertise helps ensure that scheduled occupancy is actual occupancy.
United was founded to combine deep engineering and construction experience together to form a technical consulting company to assist owners, developers and clients in the most beneficial and scalable manner in the MEP fields.
United has many years of design-build experience from the vantage points of a designer, contractor and operator. We leverage our experience with the depth of our knowledge and capacity as engineers to assist owners and clients in the MEP fields building a powerful niche for ourselves.
Avoid occupancy delays.
Expect exceptional project delivery.
United is your team of passionate, experienced engineers who ensure occupancy without delay. Our most important and unquantifiable skill is our ability to build deep relationships which are most often, a result of our excellent work ethic and project delivery.
As the client’s advocate, we engage early in the design and construction process to ensure that the project functions as intended and we set a platform for long-term operational success starting with scheduled occupancy. Our expertise spans the project lifecycle, from the conceptual design stage through operations and maintenance.

What Sets
Us Apart
Our commitment to our relationships sets us apart. Our deep and lasting relationships are a result of nurturing the connections we’ve made throughout our existence.
These relationships remain strong, surviving the test of time as people and their roles evolve.
We are most attentive to the needs of our clients and meticulously develop the most relevant services which we believe truly makes us team players.
Careful listening is our first priority. Without it, we could not offer innovative but tailored solutions. We stick by our core values in executing all our tasks and through all decision-making.
Intensely Ethical
Fire marshals, owners/developers, engineers and city officials trust us to do things without compromise. We have a reputation for keeping our promises and being fully responsible and accountable for our projects. Not only do we honor our agreements, we regularly act as fiduciary agents for our clients. We take pride in being that trustworthy.
Precision matters
The devil is in the details and we are sticklers. Proper analysis means we never rush to judgment. We have to be semantically correct—it’s how we’ve built our reputation.
Balls & Strikes
We get hired to call balls and strikes, not to be yes men. We are brutally honest which means sometimes, which could make us unpopular albeit, briefly! But that’s ok with us because telling it ‘like it is’, allows us to provide real solutions to real problems. And for that, you will like us again!
We love what we do
We love a good engineering challenge. Our passion for engineering and our obsession with understanding and improving building codes admittedly makes us a bit weird. But, it’s also why we get called upon to be educators in our industry. And we love that too.
Got a good joke?
There’s always time for one! There is always time for a little humor—sometimes it’s a dad joke, a silly pun or even a cringe-worthy limerick. Our high-stress work needs moments of comic relief so let’s have a little laugh, slap a knee and lighten things up – then get back to work.
