San Antonio MEP Consultants
An MEP Consultant Built to Work Inside Your Project Team
Cleary Zimmermann Engineers serves as the MEP consultant on architect-led and contractor-led project teams throughout San Antonio and South Central Texas, from our San Antonio headquarters. When you’re assembling a design team rather than searching for a prime firm, what matters is how well the MEP consultant integrates — response time on RFIs, coordination discipline during construction documents, and a track record of showing up prepared to design team meetings.
As the firm’s founding market, San Antonio benefits from the deepest bench Cleary Zimmermann operates — three dedicated principals with licensure across multiple states, working from early planning through construction administration as an embedded part of your design team, not a vendor handing off a single deliverable.
How We Work With Your Design Team
Serving as a sub-consultant requires a different discipline than leading a project directly, and it’s built into how our San Antonio team operates:
- Coordinated construction documents: MEP drawings and specifications formatted to align with your team’s CSI MasterFormat conventions and project-wide documentation standards, reducing conflicts during review and bidding.
- Responsive RFI and submittal turnaround: Dedicated coordination during construction administration to keep RFI responses and submittal reviews from becoming the bottleneck on your schedule.
- Cross-discipline clash detection: Proactive coordination with structural, architectural, and civil consultants to catch conflicts in design rather than in the field.
- Multi-state licensure: Professional engineering licensure across multiple states, supporting design teams working on projects outside Texas as well as within it.
- Flexible scope of involvement: Engagement ranging from full MEP design responsibility to peer review and specialty consulting on discrete portions of a project.

San Antonio MEP Consultants — Frequently Asked Questions
Does Cleary Zimmermann work as a sub-consultant to architects and general contractors?
Yes. Serving as the MEP sub-consultant on an architect-led or contractor-led project team is a core part of our San Antonio practice, in addition to projects where we’re engaged directly by an owner.
How does Cleary Zimmermann coordinate with other consultants on a project team?
We coordinate proactively with structural, architectural, and civil consultants during design to catch cross-discipline conflicts before construction, and format our documents to align with CSI MasterFormat conventions used across the broader project team.
Is Cleary Zimmermann licensed to work on projects outside Texas?
Yes. Our engineers hold professional engineering licensure across multiple states, supporting design teams on projects both within and outside Texas.
Can Cleary Zimmermann take on a limited or peer-review scope rather than full MEP design?
Yes. Our scope of involvement ranges from full MEP design responsibility to peer review and specialty consulting on discrete portions of a project, depending on what the design team needs.
What are the benefits of working with a single full-service engineering firm instead of multiple consultants?
Responsive RFI and submittal turnaround is a specific priority for our construction administration team, since delays at that stage tend to become schedule bottlenecks for the whole project.
Who leads Cleary Zimmermann's San Antonio engineering practice?
San Antonio’s consulting engagements are supported by all three of the firm’s San Antonio principals — Thomas Watson, PE (Building MEP), David Bourassa, PE (Healthcare Practice), and Trey McDougall, PE (Industrial MEP) — depending on the project type and scope required.
