Electrical engineering in California.
Vertical Design Services holds active professional engineering licensure in California. The full electrical scope, engineered in-house and sealed by a PE licensed in the state.
California pairs a dense multifamily and commercial pipeline with some of the most demanding energy-code requirements in the country, which pushes lighting and controls design to the front of the electrical scope rather than the end of it.
Title 24 makes connected lighting power and control sequences a compliance question, not a preference, so the controls design has to be documented well enough to demonstrate rather than asserted.
Verify our licensure
California professional engineer licensure is administered by the California Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists. Our status is verifiable on their public register.

Electrical engineering in California: common questions.
Is Vertical Design Services licensed in California?
Yes. Vertical Design Services holds active professional engineer (PE) licensure in California, so drawings for California projects are sealed by an engineer licensed in the state. Licensure is verifiable directly with the California Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists.
How do I verify a professional engineer's license in California?
Licensure in California is administered by the California Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists, which maintains a public license lookup on its website at http://www.bpelsg.ca.gov. Verifying a PE's status there before they seal your drawings is good practice on any project.
Can Vertical Design Services seal electrical drawings for a California project?
Yes. Because the firm holds California licensure, it can engineer and seal the electrical design without bringing in a separate local engineer of record. That is the point of holding licensure in more than 20 states: one partner can follow a contractor across state lines.
What electrical engineering services are available in California?
The full scope: power systems design, lighting design, controls, fire alarm, arc flash studies, coordination studies, short circuit studies, and Revit/BIM coordination. Each can be delivered on its own or as part of a complete electrical design for a California project.
