What Given and Associates does

Given and Associates is a privately held Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Technology (MEP+T) engineering firm founded in 1995 and headquartered in Lakewood, Colorado. The firm delivers integrated building systems design for commercial and residential construction projects, serving architects, developers, contractors, government entities, and nonprofit organizations nationwide. Over its 30-year operating history, the company has completed engineering design for more than 4,500 facilities and currently maintains engineering licensure in over 30 states, with the ability to expand rapidly into additional jurisdictions through its NCEES membership. Core service lines include mechanical engineering (HVAC, heating, cooling, ventilation), electrical engineering (power distribution, lighting, communication systems), plumbing design, and technology systems (security, access control, audio, datacom, video surveillance), coordinated as an integrated offering rather than discrete disciplines.

The firm's underlying technology stack consists of industry-standard engineering design tools, including three-dimensional design software, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), and Building Information Modeling (BIM) capabilities that enable multi-disciplinary coordination with architects and structural engineers. Differentiated technical capabilities include integrated MEP+T design under a single firm (reducing coordination complexity across disciplines), a regulatory moat through 30+ state PE licenses, and deep domain specialization in healthcare (DaVita dialysis centers, Alameda East Veterinary, Northern Colorado VA, Park Meadows Medical), senior living, affordable housing (Denver Housing Authority, Mercy Housing, Colorado Coalition for the Homeless), and government facilities. The leadership team comprises licensed Professional Engineers with 20-30+ years of individual experience, including Managing Principal Jeff Given, P.E., who founded the firm and oversees financial and strategic direction.

The business model is project-based professional services delivery, with revenue generated from custom-quoted engineering design engagements scoped to each project's complexity, size, and requirements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per engagement, typically under multi-year contractual arrangements tied to construction project timelines. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on direct engagement with architects, developers, and contractors, supplemented by referral-based marketing, a professional website with project portfolios, and a LinkedIn presence. Customer segments span multi-family residential development, senior living and healthcare, commercial office, education, government facilities, retail and hospitality, and sustainable design — with no single sector dominating revenue publicly disclosed. The company is founder-led, closely held, and operates without disclosed institutional investors, parent companies, or external funding.
