Dallas Engineering Firm
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 Engineering — Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cleary Zimmermann a general engineering firm or an MEP-specific firm?
Cleary Zimmermann is best described as a full-service engineering firm with an MEP core. Beyond mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design, we provide industrial MEP, commissioning, IT/security design, and water/wastewater engineering — all in-house. We do not provide structural, civil, or architectural design; for those disciplines we coordinate directly with a project’s architect and structural engineer.
What's the difference between an MEP firm and a full-service engineering firm?
An MEP firm typically limits its scope to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design. A full-service engineering firm like Cleary Zimmermann adds adjacent disciplines — commissioning, IT/security, industrial process engineering, and water/wastewater — so a project owner can source more of their engineering scope from a single, coordinated team instead of managing several separate consultants.
Does Cleary Zimmermann handle industrial engineering projects in Dallas?
Yes. Our industrial MEP practice serves manufacturing, distribution, and processing facilities throughout the DFW Metroplex, including process cooling, specialized ventilation, and high-demand power distribution.
What areas of DFW does Cleary Zimmermann's Dallas office serve?
Our Dallas office serves the full DFW Metroplex, including Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, and Denton counties.
What are the benefits of working with a single full-service engineering firm instead of multiple consultants?
Keeping MEP, commissioning, security design, and industrial engineering under one firm reduces coordination risk between separate consultants, produces more consistent construction documents, and gives a project owner a single point of accountability rather than multiple contracts to manage independently.
Who leads Cleary Zimmermann's Dallas engineering practice?
Trent Oliver, PE, leads Cleary Zimmermann’s Dallas market from the firm’s office in Plano, staying directly engaged in project delivery from design through construction closeout.
