MEP/FP: Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection

Milrose provides full-service MEP/FP engineering design and consulting for residential, commercial, and institutional buildings across New York City and nationally. We specialize in the design of new, replacement, and retrofit mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems for existing buildings.

Our process begins with a comprehensive investigation of the building system in question, followed by a detailed report outlining our findings and recommendations for the relevant upgrades. Once the scope has been reviewed and agreed upon with owners and building management, Milrose prepares complete contract documents for a competitive bidding process with qualified contractors, manages all required filings with the NYC Department of Buildings, and takes on the construction administration role to ensure the project is built in accordance with the plans, specifications, and all applicable local building codes and industry standards.

Coordinate MEP/FP Early to Avoid Costly Field Conflicts

Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems are among the most complex and highly coordinated elements of any building project. Coordination gaps between disciplines drive change orders, delays, and code compliance issues at the worst possible time. Our MEP/FP engineers work in lockstep with project teams from early design through construction to resolve conflicts before they reach the field.

Still have questions about MEP/FP?

What is MEP/FP engineering for buildings?

MEP/FP engineering focuses on the design and upgrade of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems that support building performance, safety, and code compliance.
