Dallas Hospital MEP
A Full-Service Engineering Firm for Dallas
Cleary Zimmermann Engineers is a full-service engineering firm serving Dallas and the DFW Metroplex, with capabilities that go beyond building MEP into industrial MEP, commissioning, IT/security design, and water/wastewater engineering. Our Dallas team works from our office in Plano, backed by more than 20 years of Texas engineering experience across five offices statewide.
Most firms that call themselves “MEP” stop at mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. Cleary Zimmermann doesn’t. When a project needs commissioning verification, a security and access-control system integrated with the building’s electrical scope, or process-specific industrial engineering alongside standard building systems, we deliver all of it from one team instead of forcing you to coordinate multiple outside consultants.
Full-Service Engineering Capabilities in Dallas
Every discipline below is handled in-house by our Dallas team, which means fewer coordination gaps between consultants and a single point of accountability from schematic design through construction closeout.
- Building MEP Engineering: Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design — HVAC systems sized for North Texas’s extreme summer heat and occasional hard freezes, power distribution coordinated across the Metroplex’s multiple utility providers, and plumbing systems built to serve every building type common to DFW.
- Industrial MEP: Process cooling, specialized ventilation, and high-demand power distribution for the manufacturing, distribution, and processing facilities that make up a significant share of North Texas construction activity.
- Commissioning: Independent verification that building systems are installed, calibrated, and performing to design intent, across projects of every scale.
- IT/Security Design: Data infrastructure, access control, surveillance, and audio/visual systems, coordinated with the MEP scope from the start rather than bolted on afterward.
- Water/Wastewater Engineering: Municipal water and wastewater system design and infrastructure engineering — a service line that sets Cleary Zimmermann apart from most firms that brand themselves as MEP-only.
Why Dallas Clients Choose a Full-Service Engineering Partner
Bringing on separate consultants for MEP, commissioning, and security design creates coordination risk — three sets of documents that have to be reconciled, three different points of contact, and gaps that tend to surface during construction rather than during design. Cleary Zimmermann’s Dallas team eliminates that risk by keeping every discipline in-house and coordinated from day one.
That breadth also means we scale with the project. A single building renovation might only need our building MEP team. A campus expansion with new security infrastructure and a commissioning requirement pulls in multiple practices working from the same set of drawings. Either way, you’re working with one firm and one team backed by the technical resources of a statewide practice.
Serving Dallas and the DFW Metroplex
Our Dallas office isn’t limited to projects inside city limits. We serve the full DFW Metroplex — Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, and Denton counties — bringing the same full-service capability across the region regardless of which side of the Metroplex a project falls on.

Dallas Hospital MEP — Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cleary Zimmermann a general engineering firm or an MEP-specific firm?
Healthcare facilities operate under stricter ventilation, pressurization, and redundant-power requirements than standard commercial buildings, governed by standards like ASHRAE 170 and the FGI Guidelines. Systems have to account for infection control, continuous operation during outages, and code-mandated air change rates that don’t apply to typical office or retail construction.
What's the difference between an MEP firm and a full-service engineering firm?
Yes. Our Dallas healthcare MEP practice designs and coordinates medical gas systems — oxygen, medical air, and vacuum — for facilities ranging from outpatient clinics to acute care hospitals.
Does Cleary Zimmermann handle industrial engineering projects in Dallas?
Healthcare facilities in Texas follow ASHRAE Standard 170 for ventilation of health care facilities, in addition to the Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI) Guidelines and applicable state licensing requirements.
What areas of DFW does Cleary Zimmermann's Dallas office serve?
Yes. We design essential electrical systems — life safety, critical, and equipment branch power distribution — along with generator and transfer-switch systems sized to keep healthcare facilities operating through a utility outage.
What are the benefits of working with a single full-service engineering firm instead of multiple consultants?
Yes. Phased construction in occupied healthcare space is a significant part of our Dallas healthcare practice. We sequence MEP work to support Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) requirements and keep existing patient care areas operational throughout construction.
Who leads Cleary Zimmermann's Dallas engineering practice?
Trent Oliver, PE, leads Cleary Zimmermann’s Dallas market, including healthcare projects, from our office in Plano.
