Mechanical, electrical & plumbing engineering for LA’s most demanding projects
For over 35 years, Engineous Group (EGI) has delivered smart, sustainable, cost-effective MEP engineering across Los Angeles and Southern California. From Downtown LA developments to multifamily communities in the San Fernando Valley, our Pasadena-based team designs mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems that get built, get permitted, and perform for decades.
Whether you’re developing senior housing in Van Nuys, a mixed-use community in Venice, or a healthcare facility Downtown, we bring the local code knowledge and engineering discipline your project demands.

Our Los Angeles MEP services
- Mechanical (HVAC) Engineering: energy-efficient heating, ventilation & air conditioning design
- Electrical Engineering: power distribution, lighting, and low-voltage systems
- Plumbing Engineering: domestic water, waste, and gas systems
- Fire Protection Engineering: sprinkler and life-safety design
- Solar / PV Design: renewable energy and electrification
Built for Los Angeles codes and conditions
Los Angeles projects carry requirements that generic firms miss. We design to them every day:
- LADBS permitting: plan-check-ready documents that move through the Department of Building & Safety
- California Title 24: energy-compliance design that passes the first time
- OSHPD / HCAI healthcare: hospital and medical facility engineering to state standards
- Seismic & building electrification: designs aligned with LA’s decarbonization goals
- Multifamily & senior housing: a specialty of ours across the LA metro
Projects across the Los Angeles metro
From Santa Monica and Venice to the San Fernando Valley, our work spans multifamily, senior living, mixed-use, and healthcare developments throughout Greater Los Angeles.

What LADBS plan check actually asks for
Los Angeles projects are reviewed by the Department of Building and Safety, and the difference
between a set that clears and one that comes back is usually preparation rather than engineering.
Mechanical plan check is triggered at defined thresholds – LADBS requires plan check for comfort
heating or cooling systems at 500,000 BTU/h input and above – and energy compliance documentation
under Title 24, Part 6 has to be complete and internally consistent with the drawings it describes.
Corrections most often come from documentation that does not match the design, not from the design
itself.
Projects in Santa Monica, Venice, Van Nuys and the wider county may fall under LADBS or under a
separate city building department depending on jurisdiction, each with its own submittal
conventions. Knowing which applies before drawings are issued avoids a resubmittal cycle.
Building types we engineer across LA
Our Los Angeles work spans
multifamily and mixed-use buildings assisted living and senior housing hospitals and
outpatient healthcare schools historic buildings hotels and
tenant improvements.
Engineering disciplines
We deliver mechanical and plumbing electrical fire protection solar and photovoltaic LEED and sustainability and
commissioning services on Los Angeles projects, coordinated
within a single design team.
Los Angeles healthcare projects are reviewed by HCAI, formerly OSHPD, not by LADBS. See our guide to OSHPD and HCAI MEP engineering for LA healthcare projects.
