Working with CEG is truly a collaborative effort. Nowhere else can I receive the focus and accurate design information so early in the process. This is the quality that has them at the top of my list of consultants!

Belmont Village -
Houston, TX
When I first heard the name “collaborative engineers,” I thought what a great idea! The Mechanical Engineers actually collaborate with the Electrical Engineers. But actually, the owner is also a part of the collaboration. Belmont Village has been building and operating senior housing for over 17 years and we have developed some preferences that work well for us and our residents. It is great to have engineers on our team who listen to our requirements, advise us to the latest options available, and provide a design that we can use. Collaboration!
