AI intake for MEP engineering firms
Porto learns the building type, the systems in scope, the design stage and the deadlines, so your engineers can size the effort before the proposal.
Corwin MEP Engineers
AI assistant
Hi, I’m the AI assistant for Corwin MEP Engineers. What kind of building is the project?
A restaurant buildout in a 6,000 square foot retail space. The architect needs MEP drawings for permit.
Size and stage already covered
So it moves on to the systems
Thanks. Does the space already have a kitchen hood and gas service, or will those be new?
What Porto does for MEP engineering firms
Porto replaces the contact form on an MEP engineering firm’s website with a short AI conversation. It learns the building type, the size, the systems in scope, the design stage and the deadlines, and sends your project lead a brief before the proposal.
What Porto works out in the conversation
These are the topics, not a script. Porto asks only what it still needs, so a visitor who mentions their timeline in the first message never hears that question.
Building
Type, size and occupancy
Systems
Mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection
Stage
Concept, design development or permit drawings
Team
Architect, owner or contractor leading
Deadlines

The brief your team gets
Every conversation ends with a one page summary and a fit score, sent to the tools you connect. Your team reads it before the first call.

Questions from MEP engineering firms
Does Porto give engineering advice?
No. It collects details and leaves design questions to your engineers.
Can it handle inquiries from architects and owners?
Yes. Porto asks who is leading the project and routes the brief to the right person.
What about small service calls?
If they don’t fit, Porto lets the visitor know kindly and can point them elsewhere.
