Feller Engineering
A Leader in MEP/FP Engineering Design

Aspiring to serve as a one-stop MEP/FP service provider, Feller Engineering recently expanded its portfolio to include a comprehensive set of alternative services. This includes amenities and common area lighting, low voltage, full scope LEED principal services, rational analysis report, and commissioning of MEP, fire alarm, and fire protection systems. This is intended to reduce time clients spend hiring and managing sub-consultants, while reducing costs.

Complementing its excellent portfolio is Feller Engineering’s highly collaborative and customer-centric service delivery model. All its engineering teams work in tandem to deliver the best possible experience to clients. With responsiveness at the core of its business model, the company conducts meetings with clients and other sub-consultants to ensure a project is well-coordinated early on, eliminating back-and-forth during schematic design or conceptual stages.

With such a perfect lineup of capabilities, Feller Engineering is ideally positioned to support large projects, including high-rises, mixed-use projects, hotels and stadiums. The company also welcomes smaller projects and provides personalized, high-quality attention to clients, whatever the project size. While most of its work remains in Florida, the company has completed many projects nationwide and internationally.

The Feller Engineering Advantage

At the heart of Feller Engineering’s excellence is its people. The company is home to a team of the most experienced engineers in the industry, covering all four disciplines; mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection. This is ideal, as more significant projects require the best engineering skills and high “staying power” to navigate all challenges throughout the design and construction phases. They always look for inventive methods and solutions to maintain the integrity of the design and to comply with codes. Consistently meeting design schedules is also a key focus for Feller Engineering’s engineers. The team ensures that all documents have the necessary details to expedite building department approval and the contractor’s bidding.

The team at Feller Engineering is best reputed for its knowledge and dedication to handholding clients through an entire process—from conceptual and schematic design to the temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) phase. At the onset of the construction phase, the company deploys construction administration engineers to monitor the project’s progress. They are highly responsive to requests for information (RFI) and shop drawings, eliminating costly delays. All this gives Feller Engineering a competitive edge in the market, allowing it to be a go-to partner for architects or developers in Florida and beyond on new projects and renovations.

“We are practical in our consulting and design approach. We deliver code compliant solutions on time and do not overdesign our projects. that saves our clients a lot of money and potential headaches,”states Yenni. “Our team is highly responsive and well-versed in value engineering to suggest solutions that cut costs, ensuring our interests are aligned with clients.”

Employee-Centric Culture Driving Excellence

Feller Engineering’s immense success is also the result of its employee-first approach; always keeping its team’s needs forefront and providing them with the best work environment. They collaborate within family-oriented culture, enabling them to deliver their best when working as a client’s extended teams.

This aspect sets Feller Engineering apart from the competition in terms of project success, customer satisfaction and employee retention. Its engineers and department heads have worked with Feller Engineering for many decades, such as its VP, who manages the office, with more than 30 years on the team. Feller Engineering hosts various activities to enhance employee loyalty and engagement, including a Caribbean cruise every December, Key West weekend fishing trips, monthly breakfasts, and Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. In addition, the company invites its employees, their families, and strategic partners and suppliers to these activities to foster a collaborative culture at all levels.

Climbing Up the Leaderboard with Innovation

“We continue to follow the legacy built by our founder, Steve Feller, and always strive to build on the same solid foundation, allowing us to well align with the changing tides in the construction industry,” says Yenni.

Feller Engineering is known as an early adopter of CAD and REVIT modeling, with relevant teams to up its ante in the niche. Similarly, the company has embraced BIM coordination and executed numerous LEED projects. It takes pride in being the key contributor to building the first LEED silver office tower in South Florida and has also established a quality control department. The QC team checks all its projects internally to resolve any potential issues before submitting the drawings to clients.

When Yenni bought majority ownership of Feller Engineering six years ago and became its CEO about two years ago, he focused primarily on enhancing its core competencies in technical excellence, customer experience, and responsiveness. He led the company through many advancements, assuring its financial stability and optimizing its ability to address clients’ varying needs.

For example, Feller Engineering is now expanding its team by hiring a new generation of engineering talent capable of leading the company in the future. It’s also racing to receive a GSA application that will help the company handle more federal contracts.

The next big thing in Feller Engineering’s pipeline is augmenting its alternative service portfolio. Together with its strong legacy and Yenni’s passion for outperforming the competition, the company has now become an unrivaled power in Florida, leading the MEP/FP domain with its expert set of hands and preparing to conquer the world beyond Florida.
