Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing (MEP) Systems

Mid-rise office buildings in North Texas face unique demands on their mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. 

Our region’s hot summers, temperature swings, and occasional winter freezes stress HVAC equipment, while rapid growth in technology and flexible work patterns increase electrical and plumbing loads. We specialize in upgrading and modifying MEP systems in existing mid-rise office buildings across DFW, keeping tenants comfortable and building infrastructure reliable.

On the mechanical side, we routinely replace aging rooftop units, split systems, chillers, and boilers that struggle to keep up with 100+ degree days and high humidity. We evaluate existing distribution—VAV boxes, duct runs, and controls— to improve airflow, zoning, and energy efficiency without unnecessary disruption. Many older mid-rise buildings were not designed for today’s dense office layouts and server-heavy environments; we balance loads and make strategic modifications so new tenants can occupy space without overtaxing building systems.

Electrical upgrades are just as critical. We assess panel capacity, feeder sizes, and existing risers to make sure your building can support modern lighting, IT, and equipment loads. Our team performs panel replacements, transformer upgrades, new distribution boards, and dedicated circuits for specialized tenants. We also help property owners transition to LED lighting and smart controls, which are increasingly standard in the North Texas office market for both energy savings and improved tenant experience.

Plumbing systems in mid-rise buildings must be robust enough to withstand heavy daily use, occasional water quality issues, and rare but damaging freeze events. We repair and replace domestic water lines, sanitary lines, and vent stacks, with a focus on minimizing disruption to occupied floors. Restroom reconfigurations, breakroom additions, and tenant kitchenettes are coordinated carefully to align with existing plumbing stacks and mechanical shafts common to these building types.

Controls and building automation are another key focus. Many mid-rise office buildings in North Texas are operating on outdated pneumatic or early-generation digital systems. We work with owners to phase in modern building management systems (BMS) that provide better scheduling, remote monitoring, and fault detection. These upgrades reduce complaints, lower energy costs, and help buildings compete with newer construction in markets like Frisco, Allen, and Las Colinas.

Our approach always starts with a detailed assessment and close coordination with the property’s engineering team. We develop phasing plans that respect tenant operations, often scheduling shutdowns after hours and on weekends. Safety, code compliance, and reliability drive everything we do. From small TI-related reroutes to full central plant overhauls, we deliver MEP solutions that are practical for the North Texas climate, consistent with local codes, and tailored to the realities of existing mid-rise office buildings
