9100 Wilshire ABG Office
Project Overview
MEP engineering for architects on a Wilshire Corridor office TI—HVAC upgrades, Title 24 compliance, and permit-ready design.
MEP Engineering for Architects: 9100 Wilshire – ABG Office
Office tenant improvements along the Wilshire Corridor require careful coordination with existing building infrastructure, evolving workplace layouts, and strict energy code requirements. Architects leading these projects need an MEP consultant who can validate existing conditions, right-size new systems, and deliver clear, permit-ready documentation without disrupting design intent.
For the 9100 Wilshire – ABG Office project, our team provided mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering for the interior renovation of Suite 100, totaling approximately 10,500 SF. The renovated space includes open office areas, reception, private offices, conference rooms, restrooms, a breakroom, and a mezzanine—each with distinct MEP coordination requirements within an existing commercial building.
This project demonstrates our role as a collaborative design partner, supporting architect-led office renovations with technically sound and constructable MEP solutions.
Project Scope
How We Support Architects
Managing Existing Conditions in Office Renovations
Tenant improvements often begin with incomplete documentation and limited visibility into existing systems. We supported the architect by:
- Reviewing available as-built drawings and verifying field conditions
- Identifying tenant points of connection and evaluating electrical capacity
- Flagging where conduit, feeder, or equipment constraints could affect design
- Coordinating MEP layouts with architectural planning and ceiling systems
Our MEP coordination approach focuses on identifying constraints early—reducing RFIs and avoiding late-stage redesign.
Title 24–Focused Permit Strategy
Energy compliance is a frequent source of delay on office TIs. Our documentation emphasized:
- Lighting control intent diagrams aligned with California Title 24
- State lighting and mechanical energy compliance calculations and forms
- Emergency egress lighting layouts and photometric calculations for plan check
This allowed the project to move through permitting efficiently with fewer revisions.
Our MEP Design Approach
Constructable, Office-Focused Systems
Our mechanical electrical plumbing engineering scope was designed around clarity and buildability:
- Interior lighting circuiting coordinated with architectural and lighting layouts
- Power distribution supporting open office, conference, and support spaces
- HVAC system redesign, including new rooftop units, to match updated occupancy and zoning
- New air distribution and diffuser layouts coordinated with ceilings and acoustics
- Plumbing design for new restrooms and breakroom fixtures
- Condensate and drainage coordination for HVAC equipment
Where existing infrastructure limited verification, assumptions were clearly documented to manage construction risk.
Responsive Coordination with the Design Team
We coordinated closely with the architect and consultants, integrating provided layouts and requirements into the MEP documents while maintaining clear scope boundaries.

Why Architects Choose Us as Their MEP Consultant
Architects partner with us on office tenant improvements because we understand the pace and coordination demands of commercial interiors.
- Architect–Engineer Collaboration: Systems aligned with spatial and workplace intent
- Office TI Experience: Familiarity with mezzanines, mixed-use layouts, and tenant standards
- Permit-Ready Documentation: Clear drawings aligned with AHJ expectations
- Risk Reduction: Early identification of capacity and constructability issues
We act as a trusted MEP consultant, helping architects deliver office environments that are efficient, compliant, and ready to build.
Project Types We Support
This project reflects our broader experience providing MEP engineering for architects on:
- Commercial office tenant improvements
- Wilshire Corridor and urban office buildings
- Corporate headquarters and professional offices
- Mezzanine and multi-level interior renovations
- Mixed-use commercial interiors
Across all project types, our focus remains the same: coordinated, constructable, and permit-ready MEP design.
Let’s Collaborate
If you’re looking for an MEP consultant who understands the realities of commercial office renovations—existing conditions, energy compliance, and fast-moving schedules—we’d welcome the opportunity to collaborate.
From early coordination through permitting, we support architects with MEP solutions that reduce friction and protect design intent.
