Who We Are
GSA was formed in 1982. Since that time, GSA’s capabilities have expanded and can provide full Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection, and Low-Voltage Engineering and Design Services for all of its projects.
GSA’s experience and diverse team of engineers, designers and business analysts helps companies implement sustainable business and building strategies through customized solutions that maximize environmental, human and financial performance.
GSA provides engineering services for projects with MEP/FP/LV Construction Cost ranging from $15,000 to $450,000,000, and with General Construction Cost ranging from $1,000,000 to $2,500,000,000.
Giovanetti - Shulman Associates’ commitment to teamwork requires that the mechanical and electrical engineering of a project support the architectural and interior design concepts, which have been approved by the client. As engineers, we look for inventive methods and solutions to maintain the integrity of the design, to meet code requirements, and to meet expected probable construction cost.
GSA’s Low-Voltage Cabling Design Division was developed to meet our client’s needs and to provide a coordinated design between the low-voltage equipment requirements and the electrical power and HVAC requirements of this type of equipment. GSA’s personnel are RCDD registered and familiar with the latest standards required by BICSI. GSA has become a leader in the development and cabling infrastructure for the low-voltage systems of today’s buildings and their integration and convergence.
GSA remains a mid‑size firm with an engineering staff ranging from 65 to 75 qualified engineers, designers and cad design staff, plus administrative personnel. This allows GSA’s associates, officers and principals of the firm to be actively involved with all projects and to provide personal attention to the client’s needs so that the client’s project requirements are met without over or under design, and within the agreed budget.
We are not only committed to the design of the project, but once the construction documents are completed and the contractors are selected, GSA will meet with the client/architect and the assigned contractors to review the MEP/FP/LV design to determine and resolve areas of concern. During the construction of the project, GSA commits itself to prompt shop drawing review (within five days of receipt) and to periodic site observations to assure that the project’s design intent and code compliances are being met. The contractor’s request for information or clarifications, final punch listing and witness testing of the completed MEP construction are performed promptly.
