JB&B has a solid range of experience in the design of MEP infrastructure upgrades across market sectors and building types, from office buildings of all sizes to critical operations centers and data centers, sensitive healthcare facilities, and residential and cultural facilities. Tapping into our knowledge base of older building systems as well as state-of-the-art building technologies, we hone our focus toward optimal building operations and sustainability. The key to a successful building infrastructure upgrade is astute recognition of the limitations a project poses: tight operating conditions, maintaining building operations during the upgrade, compatibility with legacy systems, code upgrades, and the maintainability of the new system. JB&B’s reputation for acute analysis and expert execution has kept us at the cutting edge of the upgrade services sector.
