Embe Consulting

What Embe Consulting does

EMBE Consulting Engineers Inc. is a Calgary-based, privately held mechanical and electrical engineering consulting firm founded in 2012. The firm delivers integrated building services engineering for new construction, tenant fit-up, consulting appraisals, and retrofit projects across commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, hospitality, sports and recreation, automotive, and government sectors in Western Canada and beyond. The core technical offering spans full mechanical engineering (HVAC, plumbing and drainage, fire protection, kitchen ventilation) and full electrical engineering (power distribution, IEEE coordination studies, lighting design and modelling, fire alarm design and verification, communication, security, and IT infrastructure), delivered under a single integrated practice model.

The firm's differentiated capability is its sustainable design service line, which bundles energy modelling, energy audits, LEED certification consulting, rainwater harvesting system design, net zero design, carbon zero design, and feasibility reporting into the standard mechanical and electrical scope. The team is led by P.Eng.-credentialed Principal Moortaza Bhaiji with dedicated discipline leads for mechanical engineering (Yash Modi), electrical engineering (Draupadi Karadia), energy modelling (Paul Caicedo), and construction administration (Mansimran Gill). EMBE maintains professional engineering licensure and society memberships across nine Canadian provinces as well as affiliations with ASHRAE, NCQLP, the Canadian Green Building Council, and the Illumination Engineering Society.

EMBE operates a sales-led, project-based professional services model. Revenue is generated through quote-based engineering consulting fees charged on a per-project basis to developers, architects, and property owners. Distribution is direct, with no intermediary channels, supported by a digital presence (company website, LinkedIn, YouTube) and a project portfolio that serves as the primary mid-funnel evidence of capability. Named flagship projects span up to 14 million sq. ft. of commercial space (Stonegate Landing), 1.8 million sq. ft. of LEED-certified industrial campus (Great Plains Industrial), and specialized facilities including the Osten and Victor Alberta Tennis Centre, the Calgary Fire Department's portable fire station, and the Element Hotel. The firm is privately held under founder/management control with no disclosed external investment.
