NOMA 2025 Conference

Kansas City, Missouri | Wednesday–Sunday, October 8–12

We’re thrilled to be part of the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) Conference in Kansas City! From October 10–12, you’ll find our team at the Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center showcasing how we’re helping shape the built environment through mechanical, electrical and plumbing design, digital twin technology and building information modeling services.

We’re not just showing up — we’re showing what’s next.

Meet the Team

Senior Director of Engineering

Anthony Winston III, P.E.

As Senior Director of Engineering, Anthony is helping Border States Engineering Services build more than systems — he’s helping build trust, equity and smart infrastructure across the country.

From power studies to public-sector design, Anthony’s leadership is reshaping how our industry shows up for communities. He’ll be at NOMA 2025, representing our full MEP and digital twin service lines — and he’s ready to connect.

Connect with Anthony on LinkedIn and talk vision, value and next steps.

Business Development Specialist

Sara Parody

From strategic outreach to national visibility, Sara helps drive the voice of Border States Engineering Services across the AEC industry. She’ll be representing the team at NOMA 2025 this October, and she can’t wait to connect with new partners who share our passion for purpose-driven design.

Fun fact: Sara’s calendar is wide open for booth meetups and collaboration chats — connect with her to reserve a spot and see how we’re building something bigger.

Featured Services

Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering

Border States understands that managing every detail with precision means more than just delivering services — it means integrating them into a seamless solution that propels your project forward. Our industry-unique assurance isn’t just about the right materials in the right place at the right time. Our turnkey service is the glue that binds all these elements together, ensuring efficiency and smooth progress from inception to completion.

Our team of skilled engineers designs comprehensive electrical systems, including architectural lighting plans. We optimize power distribution and create custom lighting systems that enhance residential, commercial, or industrial spaces. When it comes to water supply and disposal, we ensure your plumbing systems are well-designed, compliant, and optimized for functionality.

Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the holistic process of creating and managing information for a built asset. Based on an intelligent model and enabled by a cloud platform, BIM integrates structured, multidisciplinary data to produce a digital representation of an asset across its lifecycle — from planning and design to construction and operations.

There are many benefits to using BIM, including improved communication and collaboration, reduced errors and omissions, cost savings, increased efficiency, on-site safety, and better project visualization. By using 3D models and digital data, BIM facilitates efficient project management and optimizes resource utilization, leading to more successful outcomes.

Border States offers a wide range of BIM services, including:

BIM modeling
BIM mechanical, electrical, and plumbing coordination
Clash detection
Revit family creation
BIM model auditing
BIM quantity takeoff
Shop drawing extraction
Revit Dynamo

Power Studies and Digital Twin Technology

At Border States, we provide seamless, end-to-end solutions for power engineering studies and digital twin technology. Our process ensures accurate site evaluations, advanced power designs, and ongoing model maintenance — giving you confidence that your systems remain safe, efficient, and up to date. The digital twin subscription provides continuous updates, access to critical data, and reliable support from our Engineering team.

Here’s how our process works:

Site evaluation — We work alongside electrical contractors, facility managers, and engineers to thoroughly assess your site and provide tailored solutions across industries.
Design implementation — We create detailed power and lighting designs using Revit while performing power studies with ETAP, including short-circuit analysis, arc flash studies, and protective device/relay coordination studies.
Digital twin subscription — A five-year subscription with periodic model updates and up to 30 component modifications. You’ll have full access to your digital twin model, with operating and maintenance manuals securely stored for reference.
Final study and reminders — At the end of the five-year term, we remind you to rerun power studies and update your digital twin model, ensuring your arc flash labels and system are current.
Renewal — Extend your service with another five-year subscription to keep your model updated and compliant.
