WHAT WE DO
One partner for the building and the business inside it.
01
HVAC Design
Load calculations, equipment selection and air-distribution design for spaces with demanding temperature, humidity and air-quality requirements.
02
Plumbing Design
Domestic water, process water, drainage, water treatment and reclamation systems designed for reliability, code compliance and long-term serviceability.
03
Hydroponic Build-Out
End-to-end planning for controlled-environment agriculture: system selection, irrigation and fertigation, racking layout, and integration with your MEP systems.
04
Building Design & Space Planning
Layouts built around workflow: material flow, zoning, access control and room adjacencies planned before the first wall goes up.
05
SOP Implementation
Consistency isn’t luck — it’s written down, trained and audited. We build SOPs for the people who use them and roll them out with accountability built in.
06
Operational Structure & Efficiency
Org design, role definition, KPIs and process improvement that remove bottlenecks and lower your cost to operate.
OUR APPROACH
Discipline at every phase, from first walkthrough to final handoff.
Most facility problems start where design hands off to operations. We bridge that gap by carrying one team through every phase.
PHASE 01
Assess
Site evaluation, existing-conditions review and a clear picture of your goals, constraints and budget.
PHASE 02
Design
Mechanical, plumbing and layout design coordinated with your architect, engineer of record and contractors.
PHASE 03
Implement
Construction support, commissioning, and SOPs and training delivered before your team goes live.
PHASE 04
Optimize
Our commitment continues after launch: performance reviews, energy and labor benchmarking, and continuous improvement.
INDUSTRIES
Built for environments where precision matters.
We work with owners, operators and developers whose facilities depend on tightly controlled conditions and disciplined operations.

WHY SURREAL
Engineering depth. Operator mindset.
Surreal Consulting Inc. was founded in Pasadena in 2024 on a simple observation: a well-engineered building still underperforms if the operation inside it isn’t designed with the same care. We bring both disciplines to the table, so the systems you invest in and the procedures your people follow are built to work together.
Design and operations under one roof
No hand-off gaps between the people who design your systems and the people who make them work day to day.
Vendor-neutral recommendations
We specify what fits your facility and budget — not what a supplier is incentivizing.
Documentation you keep
Drawings, specifications, SOPs and training materials are delivered in formats your team owns and can maintain.
Fees scaled to your project
Pricing is based on project size and scope, set out in a written proposal before any work begins.
