About Advantage Engineering
Advantage Engineering Technologies was founded by Richard Valentine, P.E., with a mission to deliver high-quality engineering services across several industries, including commercial construction, HVAC & MEP contracting, and industrial/manufacturing sectors.
We utilize advanced technologies like 3D BIM and FEA to optimize project planning, reduce rework, and eliminate costly delays. By coordinating installations and collaborating closely with contractors and subcontractors, Advantage Engineering Technologies ensures efficient, cost-effective project delivery.
We are a well-established engineering firm specializing in BIM, MEP design, HVAC, and coordinated shop drawings, with a strong focus on quality, efficiency, and client value across commercial and industrial projects.
Our Value
Our Mission
At Advantage Engineering, we are committed to delivering exceptional value to our clients. We are licensed in multiple states, including New York, Maine, and New Jersey. By leveraging advanced 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology, we significantly reduce installation and construction costs. Our proactive approach brings together contractors and subcontractors during the early planning stages, ensuring seamless coordination. This process virtually eliminates rework, scrap materials, costly delays and work-arounds resulting in efficient, high-quality construction outcomes for our clients.
Our drawings include MEP Coordination Drawings, Mechanical Drawings, Shop Drawings, MEP Design Drawings, HVAC Design Drawings, Duct Shop Drawings, Piping Coordination Drawings, Pipe Fabrication Drawings, Ductwork Layout Drawings, Basic CAD Drafting, Fabrication drawings, Sheet metal drawings, HVAC Shop Drawings, MEP shop drawings, Piping Design Drawings, MEP drawings, Mechanical Shop Drawings, Ductwork Fabrication Drawings, Sheet metal drawings, Engineered Product Drawings, Manufacturing Drawings, MEP Design Drawings, BIM Models & 3D BIM Modelling. Mechanical drawings, HVAC Shop drawings, Pipe drawings & MEP drawings are mostly done for the construction industry, while our Product Design & Development Services, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Structural Analyses are typically for the Industrial & Manufacturing sectors.
More About Our Mission
Building Information Modeling (BIM) has revolutionized the way we approach architecture, engineering, and construction by integrating reality capture and real-world data into the digital design process. Here’s how BIM supports every phase of a project through these capabilities:
Conceptual Design & Analysis
BIM allows for early-stage visualization, analysis, and detailed documentation, ensuring design intent aligns with client goals and operational requirements.
Preconstruction Coordination
By sharing BIM data, we inform scheduling and logistics, enabling trades and contractors to optimize timing and efficiency, and reducing the risk of on-site conflicts.
Fabrication & Construction
BIM models guide prefabrication and modular construction, improving efficiency and reducing waste by providing precise specifications to all stakeholders.
Facility Management
After construction, BIM serves as a comprehensive digital record, supporting ongoing maintenance, renovations, and asset management throughout the facility’s lifecycle.
Additional benefits include enhanced collaboration among stakeholders, improved cost estimating and budgeting, and the ability to analyze and optimize building performance for sustainability. By integrating BIM into our workflow, we deliver projects with greater accuracy, efficiency, and long-term value for our clients.
Overview
Our Products
At Advantage Engineering, our multidisciplinary team includes highly qualified MEP designers, HVAC designers, mechanical design engineers, design engineers, and product engineers. Our staff brings extensive expertise in duct drawings, CAD drawings, fabrication drawings, sheet metal drawings, ductwork layouts, and comprehensive MEP design solutions.
In addition to our core design capabilities, we specialize in product development using advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA). This powerful computational tool enables us to analyze stresses and strains on products, ensuring structural integrity and optimal performance. By leveraging FEA, we can efficiently identify and implement design modifications to meet evolving project requirements and industry standards.
Our team is also proficient in 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) and coordination drawings for HVAC and plumbing systems. BIM allows us to generate and manage detailed digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of facilities. As a shared knowledge resource, BIM supports informed decision-making throughout the entire building lifecycle-from initial concept through construction, operation, and eventual decommissioning.
Through the integration of these advanced technologies and our team’s diverse expertise, Advantage Engineering delivers innovative, reliable, and cost-effective solutions tailored to each client’s unique needs.
