Plumbing Design Services

Schnackel Engineers’ plumbing design services take full advantage of the power of our proprietary AI-Enhanced design technology to optimize the routing and sizing of the various plumbing systems to achieve all of the design objectives of the project with the lowest material and labor cost, highest efficiency and lowest carbon footprint possible.

Our experienced project managers, engineers and designers work closely with you and the rest of the design team to establish all of the performance requirements and expectations of the plumbing systems, which are then input with incredible accuracy into our AI for MEP® design software. From there the AI technology studies thousands of design alternatives and routings to find the best solution for the project. This level of automation keeps our engineers and designers focused on the things that really matter – those human interactions, fixture selections and touchpoints that make a building safe, convenient, energy and water efficient for the life of the facility. We keep the humans focused on the aesthetics and functionality of the space, all for a better outcome of the project and reduced risk.

More options to find the best plumbing design solution

For existing buildings, each project kicks off with one of a range of pre-design site survey options, from traditional site surveys to advanced LiDAR scans that gather highly precise site information that can be imported directly into your design models. Thermal imaging can also be used to anticipate and correct problems before they occur.

We apply a wide range of advanced technologies toward helping our clients find the right design for their specific project needs. Our in-house AI-powered design software automates the methodical work of routing and sizing of piping systems so our engineers can stay focused on the more important matters of the form and function of the space. By automating and optimizing this process, we can deliver more rapid results, lower costs and reduce the risk of errors – saving clients time and money over traditional engineering methods.

Having successfully completed thousands of plumbing designs using our advanced technology for a wide range of project sizes and types, from single tenant spaces to multi-million square foot mixed use developments, we bring comprehensive experience to every design challenge.

At every turn, Schnackel Engineers is committed to delivering high-quality plumbing design services that keep projects on track and under budget, mitigating your risks every step of the way.
