Security System Engineering in Federal Way, WA
Federal Way is an active commercial and institutional engineering market in Washington, where owners, contractors, and institutions need permit-ready MEP, structural, and civil drawings on real schedules. Washington's Division of the State Architect (DSA) or equivalent reviews all K-12 public school projects in the state — a separate, comprehensive plan review that runs independent of the local building permit and requires full MEP documentation to DSA standards. Engides serves Federal Way with one coordinated team — design, calculations, and PE stamping handled together, so Federal Way projects move from scope to permit set without hand-offs.

What we engineer
Electronic security system design per NFPA 731 — access control (card/fob, biometric, and mobile credentials on OSDP readers), video surveillance (ONVIF cameras, PoE/PoE++ infrastructure, NVR/VMS storage architecture with retention engineering), and intrusion detection (UL 681 panels, sensors, and monitored alarm transmission per UL 827); access-controlled egress designed to IBC requirements — electromagnetic locks that release on fire alarm and power loss with compliant panic hardware.
Facilities we design for
Schools (Alyssa's Law panic-alert integration, controlled entry vestibules, visitor management), cannabis facilities (state-mandated surveillance retention and limited-access-area alarming), commercial buildings, houses of worship, and industrial sites — plus UL 2050 high-security design for government and critical-infrastructure work.
Backed by licensed PEs
All security system engineering is backed by Apex Grid Engineering: 10+ PEs licensed across 49 states, 20+ engineers, 15+ years of plan sets that pass plan check.
