Why Red Brick

Everyone's consolidating. We consolidated the right thing.

Firms keep merging their offices. We consolidated something more useful — accountability. One principal engineer carries mechanical, electrical, and plumbing on every project, and stays on your team year after year. We're built to be the firm you keep bringing back — a repeat member of your team, not a one-off vendor — so the engineer already knows your last three buildings when you start the next.

One stamp, all three trades

One principal PE is the engineer of record for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing on every Red Brick project. The disciplines don't contradict each other — they're designed by the same hand.

Cross-trained by design

Every engineer here works in all three disciplines. Your project never waits on a specialist's backlog, and nothing falls into the gap between trades.

The firm you bring back

Our focus is repeat work — being the MEP partner on a team's next ten projects, not just this one. The engineer who starts your first job is still here for your tenth, already up to speed when the next one kicks off. It's proven, not aspirational — since 2018, 77% of our work has come from repeat clients: 36 firms who hired us again.

Coordination that can't slip

All three trades are modeled and checked in one office, against one standard, in the same Revit model your architecture lives in.

Signature Sectors

Where we do our best work.

Three markets we built our practice around — where a single-stamp firm is the right size for the work.

Pala Zion · Greater Zion, Utah
01 / MOUNTAIN & DESERT RESIDENTIAL

Custom homes most MEP firms won't take.

Nearly a hundred residences engineered, eighty of them fully custom — from the Wasatch Back and the Zion corridor to the Malibu fire rebuilds on the California coast, including the Pala Zion houses, one featured on Designboom. Commercial-grade documentation and design, at residential pricing — including cold-climate heat pump systems engineered to −13°F, not nameplate weather.

02 / COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL & TI

Permit sets built to clear first submittal.

Two hundred offices, warehouses, restaurants, storefronts, and production floors — like 3rd Gen's CNC shop in Logan. On a leased space, a month of MEP delay costs more than the MEP fee, so our documents are engineered for the plan reviewer as much as for the contractor.

03 / MULTIFAMILY & MIXED-USE

Density, coordinated down to the unit.

From 155-unit developments to 175-unit brick mid-rises like Western Gardens, we coordinate per-unit HVAC, high-fixture-count plumbing risers, and structured-parking ventilation across dozens of unit types — all stamped as one set.

All Markets

The full ledger, by building type.

The count next to each market is real — straight from our project records.

AND THE REST: hotels, gymnasiums, theaters, pre-engineered structures, and more — if it has a roof, we've probably engineered what's under it.

Our best work disappears into yours.

The Red Brick Method

Design. Refine. Deliver.

Not a tagline — the sequence every project follows, with the same engineer at every step.

STEP 01

Design

We engage early — schematic-level input, load calculations, and system selections that align with the architectural intent before problems get drawn into the set.

STEP 02

Refine

Full BIM coordination across all three disciplines, in-house QC, and complete energy-code documentation before the set goes out the door.

STEP 03

Deliver

Stamped, permit-ready documents on schedule — then real support through construction: plan-review responses, RFIs, submittal reviews, and site questions answered by the engineer of record.

ProposalsFee proposals in days, not weeks.
ResponsesSame-business-day answers during design.
AccessThe stamping engineer takes your call.
Licensure

Licensed in six states. Projects across the West.

A licensed MEP engineer in Utah, California, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, and Arizona — and available nationwide. Every license is verifiable with each state's board.
