What P2S does

P2S is a private consulting engineering, commissioning, and construction management firm founded in 1991 and headquartered in Long Beach, California. The firm operates through three core divisions: P2S Eng (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and technology design), P2S Cx (commissioning services), and P2S CM (construction management as owner advocate), supplemented by the Building Performance Studio (energy modeling, daylight/glare simulation, CFD analysis, LEED administration), Decarbonization Services (net-zero MEPT design, climate action strategies), Low Voltage Technology, Fire Protection, and Specialty Lighting Design. Underlying technology centers on REVIT, BIM, energy modeling (TRANE TRACE 700), CFD, and the CxAlloy cloud commissioning platform.

P2S serves enterprise and government clients across the West Coast, including healthcare systems (Kaiser Permanente, Scripps), higher education (San Diego State University, UC Riverside, Saddleback College), federal agencies (US Navy, VA San Diego, FDA, US Forest Service), aerospace and defense (Northrop Grumman, Boeing), municipal governments (City of Bothell, Port of Los Angeles), K-12 districts, community colleges, and ports. The firm maintains six offices across California (Long Beach, San Diego, El Segundo, San Jose, Irvine) and Washington (Seattle). Notable deliverables include 60% EUI reduction at Saddleback College ATEP, 49.8% energy and cost savings at the SDSU Aztec Student Union (largest LEED Platinum student union in California), and EUI reduction from 230 to 160 at Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park.

P2S generates revenue through professional services fees billed via fixed-price contracts, time and materials arrangements, and GSA Schedule pricing for federal clients. Go-to-market is enterprise direct sales through competitive bidding, GSA Schedule contracts, Blanket Purchase Agreements, and long-term client relationships. P2S is a Legence Company following a strategic merger, with the CMTA commissioning firm recently announced as a co-brand partner (April 2026). Leadership transitioned in 2026 from founders Kevin and Kent Peterson to Brad Lentz (President), Travis Taylor (COO), and Aravind Batra (CTO).
