Architecture · Structural · MEP
One firm. Complete plan sets.
No coordination gap.
Most homeowners and GCs hire three separate consultants — an architect, a structural engineer, and an MEP engineer — and end up managing the coordination themselves. Affinity Design Group delivers a complete, coordinated plan set under one PE's oversight. One engagement. One point of contact. One set of drawings that actually align.
The coordination gap nobody warns you about
Most people building in California discover mid-project that they need more than structural engineering. They need architectural drawings. They need MEP — mechanical, electrical, plumbing. And they need all three disciplines to coordinate with each other before the city will approve a permit.
When you hire three separate firms, you inherit the coordination. The architect designs the layout. The structural engineer designs the load paths. The MEP consultant handles systems. But when the drawings from different firms don't align — and they often don't — the plan check correction comes back and nobody takes responsibility.
You're not a project manager. You shouldn't have to be.
Architecture, structural, and MEP — coordinated under one roof
Affinity Design Group handles all three disciplines in a single engagement. Daniel De Witte, P.E. #82726, provides PE oversight across the entire plan set — architecture, structural calculations, and MEP engineering — so every drawing coordinates before it's submitted.
What this eliminates:
No separate billing relationships with three firms
No coordination gaps between disciplines
No finger-pointing when drawings don't align
No discovering you need MEP after you've already paid for structural
No GC managing your consultants for you
What a complete plan set includes:
Architectural drawings — floor plans, elevations, sections, site plans
Structural engineering — calculations (seismic, wind, gravity), foundation design, framing plans, lateral system design, PE stamp
MEP engineering — mechanical (HVAC), electrical, and plumbing system design
Title 24 energy calculations
All disciplines reviewed for coordination before plan check submission
Plan check correction support included
