FZA joined the project midway, offering electrical and plumbing engineering design services while HVAC and fire protection were handled by design-build contractors. During an initial site visit, FZA identified major existing system deficiencies not previously communicated to the client, prompting an investigation. Despite adding time and cost, this revealed irreparable failures, ensuring project completion. Though HVAC design wasn’t initially within FZA’s scope, the owner sought their expertise, leading to valuable feedback on the proposed design, enhancing the owner’s understanding of the installed systems for ongoing restaurant operations.
