Plumbing requires a network of specialty piping for systems to run smoothly. Our expertise spans the full spectrum of plumbing solutions: large and small, complex and routine, public and private.

Our Plumbing Services Include

Lighting design is one of our specialties. And the more unique the lighting system, the better.

Light not only creates a functional environment, but it is also an innovative way to enhance the architectural experience. Our integrated lighting solutions reveal architecture, create emotion, accentuate materials, conserve energy, encourage productivity, and facilitate long-term maintenance. Advances in technology, renewed interest in sustainability, and stringent energy codes have made lighting designers critical team members for every project.

When it comes to saving lives, Farris is passionate and innovative. We make fire protection and life safety a focal point in all designs.

When applied early in design, life saving features such as fire sprinklers, detection, fire alarms and mass notification, smoke exhaust, high expansion foam, and clean agent chemical extinguishing systems can allow for cost savings in other areas of construction. We stay current with all aspects of the fire and life safety community and work in harmony with the code authorities, installation contractors, and vendors to provide the best final products for our clients.

Our Fire Protection and Life Safety Services Include

Building Systems Commissioning (BSC) brings continuity, communication, and overall responsibility for coordination and control. The BSC process is an intentional enhancement that brings a building successfully on line from its earliest phases, i.e., programming and/or schematic design.

Our commissioning professionals preview the installed and operational systems and components versus the design intent and expected standards. Discrepancies are identified and documented for remedial attention by the contractor and various sub-contractors. Farris’ commissioning team stays engaged throughout the remediation process.

A BSC Process Generally Includes

Farris professionals seek maximum energy efficiency and environmentally-friendly components in all our designs.

Farris Engineering has always been interested in providing the most efficient designs in energy consumption, pollution reduction, and the elimination and use of waste. We look to the US Green Building Council (USGBC) and its LEED Green Building Rating System to improve the environmental and economic performance of commercial buildings using established or advanced industry principles, practices, materials, and standards.

Green Building Design Begins With

We have found that clients are best served by continuity in the project team from design through construction.

The Project Manager who leads production of contract documents continues to be the person in charge during construction administration. He is fully familiar with the project’s design intent, and is the most prepared to deal with individual specifics and questions that arise during construction. Projects run more smoothly, with fewer delays and conflicts in the field.

Our Construction Administration Services Include

Helping Owners evaluate existing facilities, listening to their needs, and developing plans to meet their vision is what we do best.

Planning services are the foundation of useful design solutions. From comparing total life cycle costs to lowest up-front or energy usage, to determining the right scope for projects, our experienced team brings a wealth of insight and experience. Our 3D models and photometric renderings help clients make better decisions.

Our Planning and Programming Services Include
