Tenant MEP design
Develop HVAC, ventilation, water, sanitary, lighting, and power requirements from the tenant plan and equipment schedule. Establish which systems belong to the tenant scope and which require landlord coordination.
Market
MEP Engineering for Retail
MEP design for retail fit-outs, building refreshes, and rollout programs, with electrical capacity studies and EV infrastructure where needed.
Overview
A retail fit-out or refresh has to connect the tenant’s requirements to the building that already exists. TPS coordinates HVAC, plumbing, lighting, power, and equipment connections with the architect, owner, and design-build team. For rollout programs, the starting point is a shared design brief with site-specific utility information, existing conditions, and local review requirements confirmed for each assignment.
Building systems
MEP scope for retail
Existing capacity
Review the available service and equipment information against the proposed loads. Define electrical study needs and utility interfaces before new equipment or EV charging is added.
Repeatable, site-specific documentation
Coordinate brand requirements with each building’s constraints and adopted requirements. Reuse the agreed design criteria while confirming the inputs and licensing for each location.
Scope the assignment
A clearer brief. A coordinated deliverable.
What to send us
- Store location and landlord or base-building criteria
- Tenant plans, equipment schedule, and brand standards
- Existing HVAC, plumbing, and electrical information
- Operating hours, access restrictions, and shutdown windows
- Permit targets and rollout or construction milestones
What we can deliver
- MEP load calculations and equipment schedules
- Coordinated fit-out plans and specifications
- Utility and electrical-capacity findings within scope
- Defined construction support for substitutions and field questions
We confirm disciplines, licensing, sealing, and deliverables for the project location before agreeing to the scope.
What makes this market different
Sector-specific challenges
Consistent spec across AHJs
A national brand standard meets the local building inspector. We translate the brand spec into a permit set that satisfies each jurisdiction without breaking visual or operational consistency.
Occupied-store retrofits
Stores stay open. Power has to come down only during after-hours windows, and the temporary distribution plan is part of the design, not an afterthought handed to the electrician on site.
Service capacity for EV chargers
New utility service for parking-lot DCFC stalls is a fault-current and coordination problem before it is a parking problem. We size the service for what is coming, not just what is there today.
Rollout-program scheduling
A multi-store refresh program has to feed permits, materials, and crews on a predictable cadence. The engineering set is the gating item. We deliver in the program rhythm, not one-off.
