Listen. Design. Create.
Listen: We prioritize clients’ design needs, making their concerns our concerns.
Design: Large or small, we place the same level of dedication and care into every project.
Create: Our MEP designers are not afraid to expand the horizons of their engineering knowledge.
At the core of our engineering philosophy are these four principles:
Entrepreneurship
We uphold a corporate culture that places value on resourcefulness and initiative, always exploring new avenues for growth and challenging projects to pursue. We foster a growth mindset that encourages employees at all levels to take ownership of their work and pride in their designs.
Responsiveness
We understand that choosing a reliable MEP firm is one of the most important decisions an architect or client can make. Therefore, tight adherence to deadlines and project schedules is an core Shumate value, as is our commitment to maintaining open lines of communication.
Knowledge
We are founded upon the premise that architectural engineering is a holistic experience. Shumate approaches MEP design with an inherent knowledge and understanding of all building systems and how they are elegantly interconnected and integrated.
Forward-Thinking
We prize our grasp of the unique problems of the 21st century and envisioning the engineering solutions that can resolve them — from embracing innovative technologies to spearheading new ways to increase data center efficiency.
