Engineering services

Engineering support built for permit approval, revision cycles, and field handoff.

Permit-ready is the baseline. The value is keeping work moving through AHJ review, utility comments, revisions, and installation handoff with fewer assumptions and less field guesswork.

Revision ownership

AHJ comments, utility feedback, and field changes stay in the engineering thread instead of getting pushed back into operations.

Fit before scope

We start by matching you to the right support model, then move into the exact technical scope your project needs.

Anthony and the GBI team have been an exceptional partner for our engineering and design needs. Their PV plans and EE/PE stamping are consistently accurate, and they stay proactive on the details that matter, from Tesla and SPAN communication checks to exact equipment specs on complex commercial jobs. The process is easy to manage through their streamlined project portal, clear monthly invoicing, and responsive communication. For installers that need a reliable and honest engineering partner, I highly recommend GBI.
