THE STORY

P+S Engineering Solutions is an MEP design and consulting firm delivering innovative, high-performance building systems — HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, electrical, and low-voltage — for commercial new construction and renovations.

We were founded by seasoned engineers who set out to do things better: deeper client partnerships, smarter lifecycle-focused designs, and genuine opportunities for our team to grow professionally and personally. Every project reflects our commitment to collaboration, sustainability, energy efficiency, and resilient buildings that serve our communities well into the future.

We love unique owners, unique buildings, and unique visions. When we work together with the full set of stakeholders, we can come up with great solutions to problems that come with ambitious projects. That's the work we want to do.

01 / OPERATING PRINCIPLES

How we
actually work.

These aren't slogans on a meeting room wall — they're the rules we use to make decisions when nobody's watching.

/ 01

responsive

You shouldn't have to chase us for an answer. Calls and emails get returned. Questions get clear, decisive responses — even when the answer is "let me find out and follow up by end of day."

/ 02

proactive

We flag issues before they become problems and solutions before you ask for them. The cheapest fix is the one that happens at design, not in the field.

/ 03

value at every stage

Concept, schematic, DD, CD, CA — we don't coast through any phase. Each one is an opportunity to make the building better, easier to construct, or cheaper to operate.

/ 04

dependable

If we say we'll do something, we do it. If a deadline looks at risk, you hear from us early. No surprises is the goal.

/ 05

transparent when it's hard

We don't hide when things don't go well. We jump in, take ownership, and find solutions. The relationship is more important than being right.

/ 06

individually responsible

Every person here owns their growth, their work, and their relationships. No diffusion of responsibility, no "that's not my drawing."

02 / LEADERSHIP

Who you'll
actually talk to.

When you call us, you talk to engineers — not account managers, not gatekeepers. The principals are on every project.

FRED POLACEK · PRINCIPAL

Fred Polacek, PE, LEED AP

Principal · Electrical Engineering

Fred founded P+S after two decades of MEP design across a wide range of project types. His early career working on projects for "The Mouse" instilled a meticulous attention to detail, rooted in the understanding that in highly themed environments, every system—seen or unseen—shapes the guest experience. Fred brings that same discipline to every project, ensuring MEP systems quietly elevate the experience for all end users, whether they're walking through a theme park, a hospital, or an office lobby. A licensed PE and LEED Accredited Professional, Fred has led projects across the United States and the Caribbean.

The best buildings come from teams that actually want to work together. We built P+S for clients and engineers who feel the same way.

LUKE SHATTUCK · PRINCIPAL

Luke Shattuck, PE

Principal · Mechanical Engineering

Luke leads the mechanical practice at P+S. Over nearly a decade of MEP design, he's developed a focus on commercial, institutional, and healthcare projects — environments where ventilation, controls, and energy performance carry real consequences and tight margins for error. He's known for the kind of mechanical design that holds up in construction, in operation, and across the building's full lifecycle

Mechanical design isn't finished when the drawings are issued. It's finished when the building is running the way we said it would — quietly, efficiently, and without surprises for the people who own it.
