Metro Engineering takes mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment from submittal to stamped attachment package. We run the calcs, draw the details, and answer plan check.
For mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and general contractors, and equipment suppliers.

Boundary first
Which tags, what the plan checker requires, and what stops at the contractor's work.
Site inputs verified
Seismic and wind inputs for the site, submitted equipment data, and every substitution shown.
Fewest anchors that work
Field labor is the biggest cost. Details are drawn to keep it down.
Calcs in days, not weeks.
Equipment can't be released until the calcs are stamped, and we know the schedule is waiting. Most packages go out within days of receiving complete submittals.
