In multifamily design, undersizing MEP systems is rarely intentional. It usually comes from: Optimistic assumptions Incomplete early data Pressure to reduce first cost Or relying too heavily on past projects On paper, the system may still “work.”In reality, it creates...

One of the most common assumptions in multifamily design is that once you’ve done a project, you can simply repeat it. Same unit plans.Same building layout.Same systems. From the outside, that logic makes sense. Multifamily buildings are highly repetitive by nature....

Across the United States, electrification is reshaping how multifamily buildings are designed. What was once a relatively simple balance between gas and electric systems is now a rapidly evolving landscape influenced by energy policy, sustainability goals, and...

Electrical systems in multifamily buildings used to be relatively predictable. A building needed lighting, appliances, HVAC equipment, and general power. Engineers sized the service, distributed panels, and the system worked reliably for decades. Today, that...

Every multifamily project team wants the same thing once construction starts: momentum. But momentum is fragile. RFIs pile up. Change orders appear. Schedules tighten. And what began as a clean set of drawings turns into a daily exercise in damage control. While many...

Most multifamily projects don’t derail because of bad intentions or lack of effort. They derail due to coordination failures—small disconnects between disciplines that compound into RFIs, change orders, delays, and frustration in the field. And more often than not,...
