About Us

We are MEP Engineers

For more than 20 years, the staff at MA Engineers has provided complete mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering solutions for facilities of every kind throughout Southern California. Our focus has always been to deliver innovative, sustainable, energy-saving design solutions—the type of systems that stand up to the daily rigors of use. Ultimately, our systems are designed to last, run efficiently, and save ownership money.

Our confidence in our designs stems from our vast experience and many accolades, including commendations and energy-saving earnings for efficient design. Each member of the MA Engineers team is an expert in their respective discipline. Many have worked on hundreds of projects together.

The origins of MA Engineers can be traced back to the former GEM Engineering firm formed in 1987. The company lays claim to a rich heritage of projects in every sector: Military, Education, Healthcare, Government, Corporate / Office, etc.

Today, MA Engineers is involved in cutting-edge MEP system designs for hallmark-upper education, life science/laboratories, corporate headquarters, community centers, libraries, stadiums, high-rise buildings, and more. We are dedicated to making every project successful—whatever the cost and scope. This difference is the drive for MA Engineers.

Meet Our Team

At MA Engineers, we value teamwork and use each other’s expertise to expand our knowledge and skills. We are driven by our Mission, Vision, and Values and work together to provide the best services to our clients.

Our Difference

The goal of each project is to build the right MEP systems for our clients. What are the end users’ needs? What is the budget? How will the building be used? Where can we innovate? How can we save you money and eliminate challenges? With our client’s needs in mind, our experienced staff sets out to build a system that doesn’t just sound good in theory but also functions as it should.

MA Engineers accomplishes this through unparalleled customer service—from pre-design meetings to post-design and post-construction follow-through and commissioning. This commitment to service and satisfaction is exemplified by our repeat clientele projects throughout many markets, including municipalities and university and medical campuses.

MA Engineers is driven to foster a culture of sustainability

At MA Engineers, we believe sustainable design should be about solutions, not sacrifices. With 11 LEED Accredited Professionals on staff, which includes every single engineer and the majority of our support staff, sustainability is a priority on every job.

Take a long, hot shower, but use a low-flow showerhead and solar panels to heat the water. Enjoy air conditioning on a hot day, but open the windows on a nice day. Utilize lighting controls to dim LED lighting in response to daylight. You don’t need to use an outhouse to show your dedication. Instead, use low-flow fixtures and recycled water for toilet flushing.

Most importantly, build the most sustainable building possible without breaking the bank. The task is easier than you would think in a mild, sunny climate like Southern California.
