Who we work with
Engineering for the whole project team.
Architects
MEP engineering coordinated with your drawings, so the systems fit the design and the permit set is complete.
General contractors
Clear, buildable MEP drawings for bidding and permitting, and answers when questions come up in the field.
Solar installers
Engineered permit sets for residential and commercial PV systems, ready to submit.
Request a PV permit setDevelopers
Mechanical, electrical, plumbing and solar engineering under one roof, from early scope to permit-ready drawings.
Building owners
Engineering for renovations, system upgrades and new solar, explained in plain language.
- PE-ledEvery project is led and sealed by a licensed professional engineer, from the first conversation to the final set.
- Code-currentWe design to the code editions your jurisdiction has actually adopted, local amendments included.
- ResponsiveQuick answers, honest schedules and steady progress, so your project keeps moving without the chasing.
- One coordinated setMechanical, electrical, plumbing and solar under one roof means fewer conflicts and fewer surprises in the field.
Technology partner
Network, IT and communications, with NetAdvisors.
Buildings run on technology as much as on power and HVAC. NAE Group works with NetAdvisors, a people-first IT and communications firm, so the network, phones, security and IT support are planned with the rest of the project instead of after it.
Network & security
Network design and wiring, enterprise Wi-Fi, security cameras and door access control.
Communications
Business phone systems, secure fax, team chat and overhead paging.
Managed IT
Helpdesk and PC and Mac support, cloud storage and servers, and email and web protection.
Virtual CIO
Technology and AI adoption, IT budget planning and vendor management.
