Project Overview
MEP engineering for the HACLA – Maycrest Bungalows project supports the modernization and refurbishment of an existing eight-unit bungalow court complex located at 42215 Maycrest Avenue in El Sereno, California.
The project focuses on upgrading the residential property and its supporting infrastructure to improve building performance, utility reliability, occupant comfort, and long-term maintainability. A key component of the renovation is the introduction of new utility services to support the modernized residential units and overall property.
Project Scope
MEP engineering services include the evaluation and modernization of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems serving the eight-unit bungalow complex.
The scope begins with preliminary engineering studies and coordination of new utility services, followed by the development of coordinated MEP design documents for the residential renovation. Engineering services continue through construction administration to support implementation of the design and address field conditions as the project progresses.
The design approach focuses on integrating modern building systems within the existing bungalow complex while improving infrastructure reliability and supporting the long-term operation of the property.
