Structural, MEP, civil, as-built documentation, and building assessments — all delivered by our licensed California engineers from our Irvine office serving Orange County, Los Angeles County, and Southern California. When everything is under one roof, coordination happens internally and your project moves forward without the friction of managing multiple firms.
Civil
YA Creative Design Partners provides structural, MEP, civil, and building assessment engineering services to architecture firms, general contractors, and developers throughout Orange County and Southern California. All five disciplines are managed in-house from our Irvine, California office — coordinated by one team and delivered under a single fee proposal.
Complete structural design for residential and commercial projects throughout California. From single-family homes and fire rebuilds to multi-story commercial developments and ADUs — we produce coordinated structural sets that integrate cleanly with architectural documents and satisfy building department requirements.

Available Nationwide · All Project Types
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design for commercial and residential projects — available for work nationwide. Our in-house MEP team coordinates directly with our structural and civil engineers, eliminating the handoff friction that slows projects down when disciplines are split across separate firms.
Site planning, grading, drainage, and utility coordination for residential and commercial projects throughout California. Our civil engineers work as part of the same team handling structural and MEP — so site constraints are identified and resolved during design, not after the contractor mobilizes.

When existing drawings are unavailable, inaccurate, or simply do not exist, we field-verify the building and produce complete, accurately documented drawings from on-site measurements. Essential for renovations, property transactions, permit applications, and any project where an accurate record of existing conditions is required before design work can begin.
When you need to understand the true condition of a building — before an acquisition, a renovation, or a change of use — our licensed structural and MEP engineers conduct a thorough on-site assessment and deliver a clear, written report with condition ratings and professional recommendations.

When structural, MEP, and civil are managed by separate firms, the coordination work lands on the architect or contractor. Equipment penetrations get missed. Pad elevations conflict with drainage. Utility locations do not match the MEP layout. These are not uncommon problems — they are the predictable result of engineering disciplines that do not talk to each other until the drawings are already done.
At YA, that coordination happens internally. Our engineers work from the same project information and resolve conflicts before they appear in the drawing set. What you receive is a unified, cross-referenced package — not separate packages from multiple firms that need to be reconciled at the building department.
Cross-referenced across structural, MEP, and civil — not independent packages from separate firms that contradict each other.
When a contractor has a question that crosses disciplines, one call reaches the team that designed all of it.
No chasing separate engineering firms to align their individual timelines with your submittal window.

A straightforward process with clear deliverables at every stage — so your project team always knows where the engineering stands.
We review your project scope and respond with a fee proposal and delivery schedule within 24 hours. Once engaged, we align the engineering concept with your design team before any work begins.
Design development, load calculations, cross-discipline coordination, and a complete drawing set — prepared to meet building department requirements and support accurate contractor bidding.
We manage correction notices and resubmittals through approval, then remain available for RFIs and field observations until the project is built true to the engineering intent.
Both. Many of our clients engage us for a single service — structural only, MEP only, or a building assessment ahead of a renovation — and we coordinate with their other consultants where needed. Others bring us in for the full scope. Either way, you receive the same level of precision and responsiveness.
Within 24 hours of receiving your project details. We review every scope promptly and respond with a clear fee and delivery timeline — so your project schedule has a foundation to plan around.
Yes. Our MEP engineering services are available for projects nationwide. Structural and civil services are focused on California, where our engineers are licensed and have deep familiarity with local jurisdictions and building departments.
As much or as little as you have. Ideally, project address, type of building, scope of work, and your target submittal date. If you have architectural drawings or a concept plan, share those too. We will let you know if we need anything else before putting together the fee proposal.
Yes. We manage the full building department review cycle — preparing submittal packages, responding to correction notices, and handling resubmittals until your approval is issued. You are not pulled into that process unless a decision genuinely requires your input.
Yes, and this is how the majority of our projects are structured. We coordinate directly with the project architect from schematic design through construction documents. We are experienced integrating into an existing project team and adapting to the architect's document standards and communication preferences.
Send us the project address and a brief description of the scope. We will advise on which disciplines are required and respond with a coordinated fee proposal within 24 hours.
