What Arizona Pinnacle Engineering does

Arizona Pinnacle Engineering (AZPE) is a Phoenix-based consulting engineering firm founded in 2000 that provides mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP), commissioning, and construction administration services to commercial, education, data center, cleanroom, central plant, and high-tech industrial clients across the Southwest and other U.S. markets. The firm operates a principal-led delivery model, with P.E.-credentialed senior engineers (including managing members Eudjen Savu and Raymond B. Lanford) directly engaged on every project, leveraging more than 100 years of combined engineering experience across roughly 4,500 completed projects and 400+ clients. Technical work is executed on AutoCAD and Revit BIM platforms for design, drafting, code-compliant calculations, LEED-oriented green building design, and as-built documentation.

AZPE earns revenue through project-based professional services fees — quote-based engagements rather than product or subscription pricing — across five integrated disciplines (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, commissioning, construction administration) and six vertical categories. Client acquisition is sales-led and relationship-driven: principals engage directly with enterprise, government, and institutional buyers, supported by a website and project case-study portfolio rather than broad marketing. The company is licensed to practice engineering in 13 states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin), giving it multi-jurisdictional reach unusual for a firm of its size.

In 2026, AZPE merged with CMTA, a Legence company, becoming a subsidiary within a national high-performance engineering platform. Legence reported $708M in record revenues for Q3 2025, providing AZPE with material resource scale while preserving its Phoenix-based, principal-led model and existing Southwest client relationships. Headcount remains in the 11-50 range, and AZPE operates as Arizona Pinnacle Engineering, LLC.
