Powerhouse Engineering Partners was founded in 2012 by Brandon Manka in response to the appeals of Architects, Custom Home Builders, and Low-Voltage Contractors in the High-End Residential and Commercial Building Industries who recognized the need for in depth system engineering, detailed design documentation and professional installation management for the continually expanding technology related systems that have become permanent fixtures in our modern homes, offices, restaurants, and retail spaces.  The company was created to bolster the custom electronics installation industry while bringing Low-Voltage Contractors alongside the more traditional disciplines like Electrical and Mechanical Contractors with systems engineered for reliability and serviceability and simplifying the process for clients and contractors alike.

Our superior designs, detailed construction documentation, exceptional project management and client representation were quickly recognized in our market and requests naturally came in to expand our scope of services to bring that quality of work to other disciplines.  Powerhouse Engineering Partners proudly complied by adding Architectural Lighting Design, Electrical Design and Construction Management to our repertoire and are constantly working to improve the communication and coordination of these systems on every project with which we are involved.
