Mechanical Design-Build & Design-Assist

S&S Mechanical offers plumbing and mechanical design-build and design-assist services for Northern Nevada projects. Our in-house CAD and BIM team models systems in Revit and coordinates trades in Navisworks, producing constructible designs that reduce clashes, RFIs, change orders and schedule risk.

Constructability from day one

When the installer helps design the system, layouts reflect how the work actually goes together in the field. That saves owners money and gives GCs a predictable schedule.

LEED and efficiency

Our LEED-accredited staff help owners pursue water and energy efficiency goals with high-efficiency fixtures, equipment and hydronic design.

Where we provide this service

S & S Mechanical Providing Design Build and Design Assist

Let S & S Mechanical help you with specializing your custom project. Don’t pay a high design firm cost for your next mechanical system. We offer in-house design, auto CAD and logistical coordination.

  • Pre-Construction Services: Our S&S Mechanical team will collaborate with architects, building owners, and general contractors to help our customers design mechanical and plumbing systems suitable for their long-term success. We always aim to minimize risks, meet your budget, and reduce the costs of the life cycle.
  • BIM / CAD / Engineering: Our company utilizes a team experienced with our in-house computer-aided design (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) programs. This method helps increase efficiency on the development of the concept and completion of the project.
  • Design Build: Our S&S Mechanical team keeps everything in-house. We design it and we built it. We utilize our expertise and understanding regarding complex piping and plumbing systems of various industries. We then have our engineers and CAD designers, who have the technical knowledge and the experience to help design and built the project with keeping the clients’ construction budget and dream design into consideration.
  • Design Assist: Since we are not a design firm our primary objective is the “build” not the “design” which means our design costs are cheaper than firms. Once we start building, our team knows the intent of the project because we designed it, so the building costs are cheaper. We work with architects and general contractors to complete an overall design and submit for a permit with the local building departments.
  • Post-Construction: After the project has been finished, we can provide you with the care and maintenance of your project. Our in-house service and maintenance team can work to perform scheduled maintenance, emergency repairs, and services, and uphold the value of your property throughout the lifetime of the warranty.

Design-Build FAQs

What is the difference between design-build and design-assist?

In design-build we own the design and installation. In design-assist we work alongside the engineer of record to make the design more constructible and cost-effective.

Do you have LEED-accredited staff?

Yes. Our team includes LEED-accredited professionals.
