Austin 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 Austin and Central Texas, from our Austin office led by Aaron Lovelock, PE, and Aaron Heaps, PE. 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 a Texas-based engineering firm with licensure across multiple states, we understand the coordination demands of higher education, healthcare, municipal, commercial, and institutional projects throughout the Austin metroplex. Our team works 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 Austin 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.

Experience Across Austin’s Key Market Sectors

Cleary Zimmermann has extensive experience serving many of Austin’s most active market sectors as part of a broader project team. Our engineers understand the technical demands and regulatory requirements that shape projects throughout the region.
