Case Study
TS9Designs provided complete MEP plans for Eyes on J Optometry, with emphasis on exam-room function, patient comfort, and California code expectations. The project required precise coordination across lighting control, HVAC zoning, and branch power for specialty equipment.
The final package was built for permitting clarity and practical operation, balancing technical compliance with the day-to-day workflow of a high-functioning optometry clinic.
Medical-office fit-outs in California must satisfy high documentation expectations, including energy-code alignment and system-level consistency across plans, notes, and schedules. Optometry spaces further require lighting and comfort conditions tuned to exam workflows, not generic office assumptions.
TS9Designs needed to produce a code-ready package that supported exam-lane precision, patient experience, and clinic operations while avoiding design decisions that would compromise reliability after turnover.
We developed zone-level HVAC assumptions for exam, retail, and staff areas, then documented outdoor-air and distribution strategy to maintain stable comfort and indoor air quality through daily patient cycles.
Service and panel planning considered sensitive equipment loads, dedicated circuits, and controllable lighting scenes. Lighting strategy supported exam requirements and retail visibility while aligning with California energy-control expectations.
Plumbing design included fixture-unit-based sizing, handwashing support near clinical functions, and hot-water planning to match usage rhythms. Routing was coordinated for maintainability and clean integration with architectural constraints.
TS9Designs completed cross-discipline QA to ensure schedules, connected loads, ventilation assumptions, and notes remained internally consistent before permit issue.
The set was organized to support Sacramento review processes and California code compliance workflows, with emphasis on transparent assumptions and traceable calculation-backed schedules.
The clinic received an MEP framework that supports exam function, patient comfort, and stable operations with reduced ambiguity for the field team. Documentation quality improved reviewer readability and construction clarity.
The project demonstrates how technical planning directly improves healthcare-space usability, not just compliance.
