About Us

TriCord Engineering was founded by Elliott Berg in 2014 and, since then, has been committed to providing engineering and design services that exceed client expectations. Our goal is to ensure that your project is code-compliant, completed on time, within budget and thoughtfully integrated into building design.

We work with a variety of clients including owners, contractors, architects and engineers, and government entities. Having both licensed fire protection engineers and certified design technicians on staff, we can handle any size project from conceptual design through construction administration. We also serve our clients with analysis of their existing facilities, to modify or expand their operations or identify incident corrective action.

Our consistent performance results in an extremely high number of repeat customers. We value long-term relationships with our clients and work throughout all phases of the project to maintain effective communication, comply with the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction, and incorporate the owner’s vision for the final product.
