MEP Engineer | HVAC, Plumbing & Electrical Permit Plans | Manual J/S/D

MEP engineer with 15+ years in mechanical, electrical and plumbing design — 130+ contracts delivered here on Upwork at 100% Job Success, Top Rated, plus 100+ MEP projects beyond the platform, including 50+ approved plans in California. I produce permit-ready MEP plans and calculations for US residential and light-commercial projects, in all 50 states. Most of what I do is one of three things: a load calculation package for a permit, a complete MEP drawing set, or taking a set somebody else started and making it coordinated, code-compliant and ready for plan check. MECHANICAL / HVAC - ACCA Manual J load calculation, Manual S equipment selection, Manual D duct design — room-by-room, not block load - Commercial cooling and heating loads in Carrier HAP, ASHRAE heat balance method - Ductwork layout and sizing, ERV and whole-house ventilation, makeup air for restaurants, ducted heat pumps and mini-splits - Title 24, IECC, REScheck and COMcheck energy compliance - Equipment schedules, cut sheets and mechanical shop drawings PLUMBING - Water supply, sanitary, vent and storm drainage plans, riser diagrams - Fixture unit calculations to UPC and IPC, grease interceptor sizing, gas line sizing - Water heater sizing, pipe and insulation schedules ELECTRICAL - Panel schedules, single line diagrams, load schedules, NEC load calculations - Lighting and receptacle layouts, voltage drop, EV charger and solar provisions - Photometric calculations and lighting simulation in DIALux FIRE PROTECTION - Fire alarm shop drawings to NFPA 72 - Sprinkler layouts and hydraulic calculations to NFPA 13 - Emergency exit and life-safety plans COORDINATION AND DRAFTING - MEP coordination against architectural and structural drawings, clash identification and resolution - AutoCAD MEP and Revit, as-builts, Matterport scan to drawings, Bluebeam markup - Editable DWG plus PDF sheet set on every job BUILDING TYPES Single family, ADU, multifamily and mixed-use · restaurants and cafes · retail and tenant improvements · hotels · offices · warehouses and light industrial STAMPING AND SEALING To be straightforward about my own position: I am not a US-licensed Professional Engineer. What I do is the engineering — the calculations, the drawings and the permit package, built to the code your jurisdiction has actually adopted. Where your permit office requires a seal, a US-licensed PE stamps the set: in-house for Texas and California, and through licensed partner engineers in other states. I coordinate that, it usually adds only a few days, and the stamping is priced into the quote before work starts rather than appearing later. My own credentials: BSc in Electrical Engineering (2011), assessed as an Engineering Technologist by Engineers Australia, and a Member of the Institute of Engineers, Bangladesh (MIEB). 15+ years in MEP design across residential, commercial and industrial work.
