Complete MEP Services
for California Contractors
Expert estimating for HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing, Takeoff & BIM. Title 24 compliant, NEC certified. Serving Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and all California markets.
Why California Contractors Choose Our MEP Estimating
California represents the largest construction market in the United States with over $200 billion in annual spending, but it also has the most demanding regulatory environment. From California Title 24 energy code compliance to seismic bracing requirements and CALGreen sustainability mandates, contractors need estimators who understand the Golden State's unique landscape.
Our California team specializes in Title 24 energy compliance analysis, seismic restraint calculations for MEP systems, LEED certification support, and EV charging infrastructure estimation. Whether it's a Los Angeles high-rise, a Silicon Valley tech campus, or a San Diego healthcare facility, we deliver estimates that pass plan check on the first submission.
We've completed over 2,000 California projects worth more than $280 million in estimated construction value. Our estimators stay current with California's evolving energy codes, CBC updates, and local jurisdiction amendments.

California MEP Estimating FAQs
How does Title 24 affect my MEP estimate?
Title 24 sets California's energy efficiency standards for residential and commercial buildings. It directly impacts HVAC sizing (ACCA Manual J), lighting power density (LPD), envelope requirements, and mechanical ventilation rates. Our estimators automatically account for these factors in every California estimate.
Do you handle seismic bracing requirements for MEP systems?
Yes. California requires seismic restraints for all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems per CBC Chapter 16 and ASCE 7. Our estimates include bracing, hangers, and seismic separation joints for all MEP components.
What are California's EV charging requirements for new construction?
CALGreen requires EV-capable spaces for new commercial and residential construction. Our estimates include conduit infrastructure, panel capacity, and transformer sizing for Level 2 and DCFC charging stations as required by California's evolving mandates.
