Westside Engineering

What Westside Engineering does

Westside Engineering, LLC is a privately held MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) and low-voltage design consulting firm headquartered at 200 Galleria Parkway in Atlanta, Georgia, founded in 2012 and operating with 11–50 employees. The firm delivers three core service lines — Electrical Engineering (power distribution, generator design, lighting and controls, sports lighting), Mechanical Engineering (HVAC including dedicated outside air, chillers, boilers, energy recovery; plumbing systems), and Communications/Low-Voltage Systems (structured cabling, fire alarm, tele/data, nurse call, access control, CCTV) — using Revit MEP and AutoCAD as its production technology stack. Project work spans new construction, renovations, and adaptive reuse across healthcare, K-12 and higher education, hospitality and hotels, multi-family high-rise, automotive retail dealerships, industrial/manufacturing, government, restaurants/breweries, and historic restoration.

The firm operates a sales-led B2B professional services model, engaging directly with architects, developers, general contractors, institutions, and government agencies on a project-by-project basis. Revenue is generated through project-based consulting fees with no public pricing or rate cards; distribution is entirely relationship-driven, anchored by repeat business, client referrals, and long-term partnerships with architecture firms including Houser Walker Architecture, PRAXIS3 Architects, and Studio BNA. Geographic reach is regional (Georgia primary, with active projects in South Carolina, Florida, and Virginia), supported by professional engineering registration in 32 states. The firm holds City of Atlanta third-party MEP inspector approval and State of Georgia Qualified Engineering & Architecture Firm status, extending its revenue surface from design consulting into compliance inspections and plan review. Customer logos include Daniel Defense, Emory Healthcare, Kennesaw State University, Mercedes Benz, Porsche, and Terrapin Beer Company, among others. No outside funding has been raised; growth has been entirely organic since the 2012 founding.
