L.S. Grim Consulting Engineers is a mechanical and electrical consulting engineering firm with more than 20 years experience. As a full-service firm, we provide design and management services for mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire protection and telecommunications systems serving commercial, industrial and residential projects for architects, developers, institutions and contractors in the mid-Atlantic region.
We have established in-house procedures to organize and expedite the completion of each project. A project manager (team captain) is assigned when the contract is received to coordinate and provide a single contact for the design of the project. During the initial schematic phase, we collect the data required to understand the project such as visiting and measuring the job site, preparing load calculations, providing preliminary sketches, cost estimates, meetings with using agencies and other pertinent information.
Upon completion of the schematic phase, the design development and construction document phase continues with utilization of current technology. The most current versions AutoCAD® and Auto Architect Building Package are utilized to produce all construction documents. SPECTEXT®II is used as a foundation in the preparation of concise, complete project specifications using Microsoft® Office. Our in-house printing center utilizes equipment capable of creating full-size plots, blueprints, vellums or bond copies of all construction documents with a digital copying system utilized to produce smaller documents. The increased use of e-mail to transmit and receive drawings combined with widespread use of fax machines, often results in considerable reduction in the time required to complete a project.
Each project is designed to meet or exceed applicable building code requirements. We maintain an in-house library of code books and commentaries relevant to mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems design. Our library includes publications from: American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE); Building Officials and Code Administrators International (BOCA); Council of American Building Officials (CABO); International Codes Council (ICC); International Building Codes (IBC), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and their National Electric Code and Life Safety Code. Code books for other federal, state and local jurisdictions are included in our library.
In addition, L.S. Grim is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, the nation’s foremost coalition of leaders working to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built, and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life.
We have implemented an in-house quality control system to assure the accuracy of drawings, specifications, and other materials necessary for the bidding and construction phase of each project. Our team is available to provide support during the various phases of a project. An in-house data collection system is utilized to track all incoming and outgoing materials related to each project.
