Who We Are

A Multi-Discipline MEP/FP Firm, Built on Accountability

KeRi Engineering PC is a full-service mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection engineering firm. What began in 2014 as a small New Jersey practice with a handful of engineers has grown into a nationally active firm with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), serving clients across 21 states and trusted by public agencies, healthcare systems, and the world's leading pharmaceutical manufacturers.

We were founded on a single idea: design building systems that are accountable and sustainable for our clients and the community they serve. A decade on, that idea still decides how every project is run, from new NYC schools and all-electric conversions to hospital operating rooms, mission-critical switching facilities, and ISO 5 cleanrooms.

We design to the numbers an owner actually lives with: construction cost, schedule, complexity, operating cost, and the level of maintenance a building staff can sustain. With more than 100 years of combined experience and an engineering-first mindset, we take complex problems and make them simple to build, operate, and maintain.

Our Mission

To design building systems that are accountable and sustainable for our clients and our community, engineering solutions to improve lives.

Our Vision

To set the benchmark for complex MEP/FP engineering by combining deep technical expertise, modern delivery, and a relentless commitment to quality and safety.

Our Approach to the Areas We Work In

We treat the accuracy of our documents as an investment made early. Disciplined QA/QC and pharma-grade design standards prevent the costly changes and delays that surface during construction.

Safety is non-negotiable. We carry an A+ ISNetworld rating, a 0.94 EMR, and zero OSHA recordables, and we design for the people who build and operate every system.

Construction site safety: worker in a hard hat, safety glasses, ear protection and work gloves

We adopt new technology and methods to solve hard problems, from BIM coordination and clash detection to deep-energy retrofits, electrification, and decarbonization.

Senior engineers stay engaged on every project, and clients are partners in the process, kept informed and in the know so they can make the best decisions for their projects.

We tailor solutions to the exact needs of each client, balancing first cost, schedule, complexity, operating cost, and maintainability rather than reaching for a one-size-fits-all answer.

Creative engineering design and drafting

We design with the latest cutting-edge technology and tools. High-definition 3D laser scanning captures existing buildings as point clouds, which we turn into accurate 3D models before design begins, so our drawings start from the building as it really is. We pair that with BIM/3D coordination, AI and custom in-house AI tools built for engineering, energy modeling, CFD, and Integrated Project Delivery to work faster, smarter, and with fewer surprises in the field.

Human Capital: The Foundation of Everything We Build

Behind every drawing, every sealed calculation, and every building that quietly performs for decades is a person who cared about getting it right. At KeRi, human capital isn’t a line on a balance sheet. It is the founding block of our business.

We assemble teams the same way we engineer systems: with the right expertise in the right place and an optimal mix of resources. Our highly qualified professionals, engineers, and drafters are dedicated and laser-focused on a single goal: meeting the needs of our clients. People and processes work in lockstep so that every client receives high-quality service and support, on every project, without exception.

We never take that trust for granted. Our execution model is built around client participation through the planning, design, and construction cycles, so you stay informed and in control at every stage. With us, you’re never handed off. You’re part of the team.

  • Highly qualified engineers, drafters & subject-matter experts
  • A dedicated team engaged on every single project
  • Clients stay engaged from planning through construction
