Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems in buildings are crucial for their functionality and occupant comfort. However, implementing MEP systems while navigating budget constraints, over/under-design, and system reliability requires seamless stakeholder coordination and connectivity between the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure.

This is where MWB Engineering makes its mark.

The company provides cost-effective MEP design solutions and fire protection services, including sprinklers and fire alarm design prioritizing clients’ needs and financial considerations. With a strong focus on sustainability and adherence to stringent regulations, particularly in the demanding New York City market, MWB Engineering consistently delivers exceptional quality and dedication in every project it undertakes.

“Our distinctive approach includes designating a dedicated point of contact for each client to ensure efficient communication and rapid responsiveness, mitigating the risk of information loss,” says Chelseyann Bipat, founding principal, MWB Engineering.

It has developed a comprehensive approach known as ‘value engineering,’ which involves close collaboration with clients throughout the project’s lifecycle to explore various options, valuing costeffectiveness while aligning choices with project goals. As projects transition to the bidding phase, MWB Engineering remains vigilant for opportunities to implement value engineering solutions, making sure project costs stay within budget. It provides informed suggestions and adapts its designs to achieve this crucial goal.

Effective communication within the MEP engineering field is another significant challenge the firm addresses. It employs meticulous scheduling of team members to meet deadlines and enhance communication and responsiveness.

The 35 Kingston project is a testament to MWB Engineering’s expertise in handling complex endeavors. This recently completed residential building, spanning 17,000 square feet and housing 21 units, initially faced a budgetary challenge. Handed over by a different engineering firm, the project was significantly over budget in various architectural aspects. A client recommendation led the new client to MWB Engineering, trusting its ability to realign the project. With a determined approach, it streamlined the design to meet budget constraints. Starting in early 2022, the project swiftly transformed, securing all necessary approvals for a successful outcome. This case study showcases MWB Engineering’s commitment to efficient project management and successful results, even within urban complexities.

MWB Engineering’s success is rooted in its client relationships. The company’s commitment to exceeding client expectations through unwavering responsiveness and satisfaction has generated organic growth driven by wordof- mouth recommendations and reinforced by direct client testimonials. This dedication reflects MWB Engineering’s role as a reliable and accessible consultant, showcasing the trust instilled in its clients and the consistent value delivered in each project.
