The team has been helpful not only in design but also during construction. The response and communications have been good and prompt. We appreciate Tamara and Bassam being very quick in responding to RFIs, especially during construction when things are moving very rapidly.

Project Overview
MEP engineering for the Hi Voltage Cafe – Culver City project supports the interior remodel of an existing café and restaurant space in Culver City, California.
The renovation encompasses the café’s primary food service and customer areas, including the commercial kitchen, food preparation areas, dining space, and associated support areas. The project requires coordinated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems designed to support restaurant operations, customer comfort, and efficient day-to-day food service.
Project Scope
MEP engineering services include HVAC, electrical power, lighting, and plumbing design for the café and restaurant renovation. Building systems are coordinated with the new interior layout and food service requirements to provide appropriate utility connections, ventilation, power distribution, lighting, and plumbing infrastructure.
The complete renovation will be coordinated and submitted under one plan check and permit set, providing a unified approach to permitting and construction documentation.
