As a full service mechanical, electrical, and plumbing firm, Sterling provides new and retrofit design and investigation services for HVAC, process, plumbing, fire protection, electrical, life safety and data/telecommunications building systems. With a varied client list including high-tech, biotech, and industrial companies, colleges and universities, Sterling has broad experience designing and investigating building systems large and small, specialty and standard.

There are four tenets to Sterling’s approach to the design and investigation of building systems: Improve performance, safety, reliability, and efficiency. The client’s bottom line is our bottom line: if the building systems are performing safely, reliably and efficiently, the client is able to focus on their business and not on troubleshooting their building systems. That’s our goal as a professional consulting engineering firm: to improve client company productivity by addressing building system performance, safety, reliability and efficiency.

From concept through to construction observation, Sterling provides a hands-on approach. Our principals can be found at a facilities planning meeting with the most senior members of our client companies in the morning, and then out in the field with their shirtsleeves rolled up in the afternoon. This ability to be flexible and responsive is the standard our clients have come to expect.

Sterling’s repeat clients and constant influx of referral work speak volumes about our abilities, work product, business style and ethic.

Sterling’s investigations into malfunctioning building systems often result in remedial design work. Investigating and understanding why building systems are operating inefficiently, underperforming, or failing is only half the task. Once the investigation is completed there must be a plan of action to mitigate or correct the existing deficiencies.

Whether the project at hand requires only a few hours of consulting time from our principals, or our entire staff dedicated for weeks on end to a large-scale multidiscipline design, Sterling holds the client’s interests with the same significance. Large or small, complex or simple, specialty or standard, every project – and client – deserves our uncompromising attention and focus.
