Engineering PLUS Company & Culture

Established in 1996, Engineering PLUS was founded to solve an important industry problem that contractors were facing. They needed bullet proof drawings to build from. Engineering PLUS answered the call by providing extremely detailed drawings, containing exact product specifications, that contractors are able to build off of with truly little question.

Our Company Mission

A couple decades later, Engineering PLUS is now an industry leader, consulting with businesses around the globe, advising them on technology engineering projects, finding creative solutions to solve problems, and eliminating their biggest pain-points. Our company is passionate about turning advanced concepts into real-world solutions and helping our clients to navigate the challenges of implementing infrastructure technology into their development projects. We specialize in IT Infrastructure, Audio-Visual Solutions, Physical Security Solutions, Data Center Assessments, and Smart Building Solutions.

We are glad to be a trusted advisor and technology advocate for our clients. And proud that most of our new clients come from referrals by businesses we have worked with and have recommended us.
