Engineering That Makes Your Life Easier.
Engineering Driven Design is a consulting engineering firm providing mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection design for commercial, industrial, public, healthcare, laboratory, and specialty facilities.
We focus on practical, coordinated building systems that support your project from concept through construction.
Who We Are
Engineering Driven Design was founded with a simple philosophy:
Engineering should reduce friction — not create it.
We approach every project with technical rigor, constructability awareness, and direct communication. Our role is not only to design systems, but to help architects, owners, and contractors move projects forward efficiently.
We serve clients across a range of building types, from small tenant fit-outs to large-scale infrastructure upgrades.
What Sets Us Apart
Direct Engineer Involvement
Clients work directly with licensed Professional Engineers throughout the design process.
Constructability-Focused Design
We develop coordinated documents that reflect real-world installation conditions.
Technical Depth Across Disciplines
Our experience spans HVAC systems, central plants, medium voltage power distribution, standby generation, specialty plumbing systems, fire protection, and mission-critical infrastructure.
Balanced Project Experience
We work on commercial offices, industrial facilities, laboratories, educational buildings, healthcare spaces, and municipal projects — giving us perspective across markets.
Leadership
Jeffrey N. Beeden, PE, CEM
President
With over 25 years of consulting engineering experience, Jeff has worked across mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems for universities, laboratories, healthcare facilities, commercial buildings, and mission-critical infrastructure.
He has served in every role within a consulting firm, from intern to President, and founded Engineering Driven Design with a focus on practical engineering and client communication.
Jeff is licensed in multiple states and actively involved in professional engineering organizations including ASHRAE and ASPE.
Saro L. Tovmasian, PE
Principal / Lead Electrical Engineer
Saro is a licensed Professional Engineer specializing in electrical power distribution, standby generation systems, lighting design, fire alarm, and building infrastructure.
His experience includes medium-voltage utility services, parallel generator systems, complex power distribution for large commercial and industrial facilities, and electrical system upgrades for municipal and educational projects.
Saro leads the electrical discipline at Engineering Driven Design, providing technical oversight, coordination, and construction-phase support to ensure systems are reliable, code-compliant, and built as designed.
Timothy R. Choma, PE
Principal / Lead Mechanical Engineer
Tim is a licensed Professional Engineer with extensive experience in the design and coordination of mechanical systems for commercial, educational, municipal, and industrial facilities.
His work includes large-scale HVAC systems, central boiler and chiller plants, energy recovery systems, and complex ventilation designs across a wide range of building types.
As Lead Mechanical Engineer, Tim provides technical direction for the mechanical team and oversees project execution to ensure coordinated, constructible, and performance-driven designs.
