What RPJ does

RPJ, Inc. (legal entity R.P.J., INC., d/b/a RPJ, Inc. MEP Consultants) is a privately held, family-owned consulting engineering firm headquartered at 7432 SW 48th St, Miami, FL, specializing in mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection (MEP) design for commercial and residential properties. Founded in 1975 according to firmographic records (with an internal history entry of 1990), the firm has completed over 5,000 projects across South Florida and internationally in the Caribbean (Turk and Caicos). Its five core service areas — General Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Plumbing and Gas Design, and Fire Protection — operate as an integrated engineering practice rather than separate modular offerings. The firm employs 11-50 staff including multiple Florida-licensed Professional Engineers and uses AutoCAD and Revit for construction documentation, with LEED/Green Building consultation as a differentiated sustainability offering that has produced LEED Platinum-certified buildings.

The firm serves a client base concentrated in South Florida's architecture, real estate development, and construction ecosystem, including named clients such as Portuondo-Perotti, Pinnacle Housing Group, Housing Trust Group, Alta Developers, CFE Architects, and Modis Architects. Its customer segments span commercial and office developers, residential developers and builders, hospitality and restaurant operators, government and civic entities, healthcare providers, and airport and transportation facilities. The go-to-market is relationship-driven and consultative, relying on direct engagement, the company website (rpjmep.com), LinkedIn, and YouTube as marketing channels, with services delivered as project-based professional services engagements quoted on a per-project basis. Revenue is generated through fees for consultation, design documents, project management, and construction administration across the four MEP disciplines plus fire protection, with pricing not publicly disclosed.

Leadership is anchored by President Rafael Peña Jr. P.E. (40+ years of mechanical engineering experience, ASHRAE technical paper awardee, University of Florida alumnus) and Vice President Adrian Peña (25+ years of MEP consulting plus a decade of general contracting experience), reflecting a family succession model common in the engineering consulting sector. The firm is registered as a Florida corporation with no parent company, external investors, or subsidiaries, and operates as a single-office entity serving regional and select Caribbean clients.
