Most construction projects fail at the seams — where one trade's work meets another's. HVAC contractors don't think about network cabling. Electricians don't plan around access control. Plumbers don't coordinate with the server room layout. Forged designs every system as part of a single, integrated plan and manages the trades against it. The result: fewer change orders, no finger-pointing, and a facility where every system works together from day one.
Load calculations, equipment selection, ductwork layout, zoning strategy, and control system specification. Designed for both comfort and critical environments like server rooms and clean areas.
Domestic water, waste, gas, and specialty systems (compressed air, medical gas, process piping). Sized for current demand with capacity planning for expansion.
Service entrance, panel design, circuit layout, emergency power, UPS integration, and generator coordination. Code-compliant design that accounts for current loads and planned growth.
Structured cabling (Cat6/Cat6A/fiber), pathway design, cable tray routing, telecom rooms, and rack layouts. Designed alongside power and HVAC so pathways don't conflict.
Door hardware schedules, card reader placement, camera positions, intercom systems, and alarm zones. Integrated with the network design so IP-based security runs on purpose-built infrastructure.
BAS/BMS integration, sensor placement, HVAC controls, lighting automation, and occupancy management. Converged with your IT network for centralized monitoring and energy optimization.
We translate your business requirements into technical specifications. Every room, every system, every use case documented before a single line is drawn.
All disciplines designed simultaneously by a coordinated team. HVAC, electrical, plumbing, cabling, and security drawn on the same set of plans with cross-system clash detection.
We manage the bid process, evaluate contractors, negotiate pricing, and build a phased execution schedule that keeps trades out of each other's way.
Forged stays on-site through execution. We run coordination meetings, inspect installations against design, manage change orders, and ensure every system is commissioned properly.
Complete set of construction documents — mechanical, electrical, plumbing, low-voltage, and security — designed as a unified system with cross-referenced specifications.
Detailed spec sheets for every major component — HVAC units, panels, generators, racks, cabling, access control hardware — with approved alternatives and warranty requirements.
Individual scope documents for each trade contractor — clear deliverables, boundaries, exclusions, and coordination requirements. Designed to eliminate gray areas and change orders.
Phased timeline with trade sequencing, milestone dates, inspection hold points, and equipment delivery coordination. Updated weekly during execution.
System-by-system testing and verification documentation. Every piece of equipment started, balanced, calibrated, and confirmed operational against design intent.
Final record drawings reflecting what was actually installed — not just what was designed. Includes equipment manuals, warranty information, and maintenance schedules.
First-generation tenant improvements where every system is being installed from scratch. One coordinated plan prevents the cascading delays that plague multi-trade projects.
Heavy mechanical, high-power electrical, and specialized environments where system coordination directly impacts operational safety and efficiency.
Updating existing facilities where new systems must integrate with legacy infrastructure. Design accounts for what stays, what goes, and what needs to coexist during phased construction.
Mission-critical environments where HVAC, power, cabling, and security must be designed to exacting standards with redundancy, monitoring, and failover built in.
Facilities with strict code requirements — HIPAA physical controls, medical gas systems, infection control HVAC, and emergency power mandates.
Buildings with multiple tenants or use types where shared systems must be designed for fair allocation, independent metering, and future tenant turnover.
