We provide specialized MEP coordination that integrates seamlessly with site-specific utility demands and structural requirements. Our designs ensure that your building's core systems meet all current permit standards for this expanding suburban community.
Scope and Typical Deliverables
We provide mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering, including construction documents, energy compliance, and permit plans. We are dedicated to ensuring your MEP systems are correctly designed for local municipal review.
Deliverables depend on project scope, jurisdiction requirements, and site conditions.
Local Engineering and Permitting Considerations
The local terrain transitions between Hill Country limestone and flatter prairie, which significantly influences foundation and drainage design. We tailor our engineering solutions to these distinct soil profiles to ensure long-term stability and code compliance.
Permit considerations: Because Schertz spans three different counties, confirming the reviewing jurisdiction is vital before submittal. We navigate the specific requirements of the local building, inspections, and contractor registration department to expedite your approval.
Drainage and floodplain: Areas along Cibolo Creek and its tributaries may fall within FEMA-mapped floodplains. We specialize in detention and conveyance design to mitigate flash-rainfall issues in this corridor.
Windstorm: Guadalupe, Bexar, and Comal counties are inland and outside the TDI designated catastrophe area; TDI/WPI-8 windstorm certification does not apply.
