Property owners, general contractors and architects rely on dependable power and life-safety systems to keep their buildings operational and compliant.
At The Falcon Group, we solve critical challenges to ensure emergency power system compliance with Mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) services. Our team conducts detailed electrical load studies, designing fire alarm and suppression systems that meet current standards. We help you meet regulatory requirements, avoid costly downtime and deliver safe, efficient infrastructure.
Services Overview
Serving clients in over 20 states with 15 regional offices, The Falcon Group provides national reach with local expertise. We help commercial, residential and industrial facilities stay functional, energy-efficient and safe, while aligning with standards such as the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70/72/13 and the International Building Code (IBC).
Our MEP electrical design services cover three core areas:
- Emergency and standby generator systems
- Electrical load, short-circuit, coordination and arc-flash studies
- Fire-alarm and suppression system design
Every project benefits from our combined 1,500+ years of experience, LEED-accredited and licensed engineers, and a full-service approach that includes:
- Designs and specifications
- Inspections and evaluations
- Commissioning support
Emergency and Standby Generators
Reliable backup power protects lives and operations. Our engineers design emergency and standby power systems sized for your facility's essential loads. We handle full-scope design that includes generator selection, automatic transfer switch layout, paralleling gear and integration with building distribution.
Each design follows NEC Article 70, IBC 604 and NFPA 110 requirements for emergency system regulations. Deliverables include:
- Electrical drawings
- One-line diagrams
- Specifications
- Commissioning documentation
Electrical Load Studies
Accurate electrical analysis prevents system failure and enhances safety. In accordance with NEC, IEEE 242 and NFPA 70E, The Falcon Group performs:
- Short-circuit studies
- Protective-device coordination studies
- Arc-flash hazard assessments
Our engineers model the system, simulate fault currents and recommend upgrades to switchgear and protection. The results reduce downtime, improve selectivity and protect personnel.
Fire Alarm and Fire Suppression Design
Our fire-protection engineers design fire-alarm systems and suppression infrastructure that comply with fire safety regulations such as NFPA 13, 20, and 72, as well as local amendments under the IBC and IECC. Services include:
- System layout
- Sequence of operation documentation
- Hydraulic calculations
- Device placement
- Integration with the electrical infrastructure
Whether designing for a retrofit or a new build, we deliver fast permitting and seamless coordination with contractors.
Process and Deliverables
Our end-to-end process begins with evaluating existing systems and ends with full support at commissioning. Key deliverables include:
- Detailed drawings
- Specification manuals
- BIM or 3D modeling
- System performance analysis
- Commissioning support documentation
By integrating MEP, energy and project-management expertise, we ensure your systems operate as designed and intended — improving reliability, electrical system efficiency and cost performance.
Industries We Serve
We provide MEP electrical design services across education, healthcare, hospitality, residential and commercial real-estate sectors. Our national portfolio includes:
- Electrical infrastructure upgrades
- Generator system replacements
- Full fire-protection designs
All of these cater to HOAs, universities and mixed-use developments too.
FAQs
MEP design services are crucial for ensuring safe infrastructure development and a reliable power supply. Some frequently asked questions include:
Yes. Any system modification, commercial electrical system upgrade, or equipment addition triggers NEC requirements for updated short-circuit and coordination studies.
We calculate based on essential-load demand, occupancy type and NEC or IBC criteria to ensure electrical code-compliant capacity.
During a fire safety compliance audit, professionals look for compliance with NFPA 72 and 13, as well as the IBC and any applicable state or local amendments.
