HISTORY

In retrospect, August 2000 may not have been the best time to begin a new company. Austin was on the brink of the dot-com bust. The entire economy soon would slow with the technology sector. The firm started out with four professionals with a “can-do” spirit and a philosophy of doing business a different way. With the hard work and dedication of this small group, the company soon thrived and grew during a time when other firms were shrinking.

Ed brought more than 20 years of mechanical engineering and project management experience from Houston- and Austin-based consulting engineering firms. And the new firm delivered what clients needed—engineering solutions tailored to meet their budgets and expectations.

The result was a solid foundation of return business. And return business—which continues to hit 80% or better—fueled growth. Bay & Associates, Inc. now employs a full time staff of 18, including three licensed professional engineers and, as of this writing, 9 LEED AP professionals.

PHILOSOPHY

The goal at Bay & Associates, Inc. is always to provide a “high positive” experience to our clients— regardless of the type of project.

We begin by listening. Then we deliver superior consulting engineering services based on your needs. We keep you updated—communication is always open. We meet project deadlines. And we’re there for you even after the project is finished. We keep our promises.

At Bay & Associates, Inc., we not only help build successful projects, we build personal relationships. So we can become – and remain – your “go to” engineer of choice.

SCOPE OF SERVICES

Services at Bay & Associates go far beyond the plans and specifications our clients need to get a building permit. Our services build in the experience and expertise our clients need—whether they are architects, developers, leasing brokers and property managers, or design-build contractors—to achieve an outstanding solution.

We have the expertise to handle virtually any type of project. We are especially good at fast turnaround projects, because throughout our organization we have the right people to work closely together and get the job done. 

We provide the full range of specialties you expect from a dynamic mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering firm—tailoring our capabilities for commercial office, data center, light industrial, educational/institutional, public, medical office, condominium, hospitality, retail/mixed use, restaurant/food service, and corporate facilities.

To enhance our engineering services we also provide experience with design and documentation for USGBC LEED and Austin Green Building Program projects.

While most of our projects have involved a full-bid process, our popularity as the MEP design-build partner of choice is growing.
