Overview

Peter Basso Associates provides engineering consulting services focused on mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) design for complex, sustainable, high-performance buildings. They work with educational, healthcare/laboratory, corporate/commercial, and government clients, and also offer commissioning services plus lighting design through their Illuminart division. Their process centers on designing robust MEP systems and then verifying performance through commissioning to ensure projects meet performance criteria. Unlike some firms, they operate as an employee-owned ESOP, which can align employee and client interests. They also differentiate themselves with a dedicated commissioning group and a specialized lighting design division, plus a focus on technically challenging projects in the Michigan area. The company aims to deliver durable, energy-efficient building systems that meet clients’ needs while growing its ESOP-driven culture and service offerings.
