Founded in 2007, ME3 has built a reputation for delivering top-tier client service, technical excellence, and innovative solutions across southwestern Florida. With nearly two decades of experience, ME3 prides itself in being clients’ trusted partner from schematic design through final construction, successfully leading MEP projects across diversified markets including commercial, educational, retail, faith-based, healthcare, and hospitality.

MSA and ME3 share a commitment to project excellence and building long-term client and partner relationships. This acquisition strengthens the firm’s MEP expertise throughout Florida and beyond — and complements the organization’s addition of Haddad Engineering, Inc. of Jacksonville, Florida, in 2025.

“Joining MSA is a natural evolution for ME3,” remarked Sidney Pritchard, LEED AP, one of three founding owners. “For 19 years, our firm has operated on the simple principle of providing the best possible service through the best possible people, which has allowed us to deliver world-class MEP service. In MSA, we found a partner that shares this commitment to fostering deep, honest relationships. This move allows us to continue to build and expand our impact and ensures that the high-standard, client-first engineering legacy we built at ME3 will continue to thrive in the years to come.”

“We are excited to welcome ME3 to MSA,” commented CEO Nick Wagner, PE. “Their focus on the client experience and commitment to collaborative project partnerships align very well with our organization’s values. We look forward to learning from their successful tenure of experience and working together to deliver innovative MEP solutions to clients throughout Florida and the greater Southeast.”

Both firms are committed to a seamless transition for clients and employees.
