Practice areas
Pettit & Pettit provides mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and fire protection design for commercial, educational, healthcare, and civic projects. Every discipline is delivered by registered professional engineers with deep Arkansas project experience.
Air conditioning, refrigeration, heating, and ventilation systems engineered for efficiency, comfort, and long-term operating economy.
Domestic water, sanitary, storm, and specialty piping design coordinated with the architect's plan and the mechanical scope.
Power distribution, lighting, communications, and life-safety systems for buildings of every scale and use.
Sprinkler, standpipe, and specialty suppression design coordinated with the local authority having jurisdiction and NFPA standards.
Whole-building energy analysis that informs envelope decisions, system selection, and operating-cost forecasting.
Integrated MEP modeling and coordination with the architect's Revit environment. Clash detection and constructible documents.
Common questions
Institutional and commercial buildings across Arkansas — state government, K-12 school districts, higher education, healthcare, municipal and civic, and corporate headquarters. Roughly a third of the practice is renovation and retrofit work.
Statewide. Our office is in Little Rock, and our projects reach from Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas to Jonesboro, Pine Bluff, Hot Springs, and every state park system location we've been engaged on.
We work across a wide range — from single HVAC or electrical replacements to $100M+ new construction. The sweet spot is institutional renovations and additions in the $500K–$25M range where MEP engineering is a meaningful line item.
We're a specialty MEP/FP sub-consultant. We join architect-led or GC-led design teams as the named MEP engineer. Typical delivery methods are design-bid-build and CM-at-risk.
Yes. Every registered professional engineer on staff is covered by the firm's professional liability policy. Certificates of insurance are provided during onboarding to any design team or owner.
Yes — Pettit is SAM-registered for federal contracting. That said, the bulk of our work runs through state, K-12, higher-ed, healthcare, and municipal channels in Arkansas rather than federal procurement.
Yes. Our BIM practice is built around Revit MEP with full coordination in the architect's model — clash detection with structural and architectural, constructible documents from the model, and an as-built model at project close.
