Through a commitment to optimizing spaces, AKF’s MEP/FP Engineering and Integrated Services power human potential.
About us
In 1989, AKF was founded in response to clients’ needs for a mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection firm that provided engineering leadership, better communication, and direct access to the best talent to solve the challenges they faced. We created a firm with a flat organizational structure that eliminated bureaucracy and needless hierarchy, allowing clients to directly connect to the team with the best solutions to complex engineering challenges. Our obsessive drive to be responsive to the needs of our clients led us to add a suite of services. By bringing our integrated field, design, and technical services together under a single point of contact, we further eliminated project friction and provided leadership from conceptual design through ongoing facility operations. Whether in workplace, higher education, hospitality, or healthcare, AKF’s clients rely on our depth of knowledge to drive solutions that meet the needs of today with the inspiration for tomorrow’s built environment. AKF participates in CANstruction, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center's Cycle for Survival, the American Heart Association's Wall Street Run and Heart Walk, and the Special Olympics Minnesota's Polar Plunge. Within our communities, we volunteer with the ACE Mentor Program, partner with the Salvadori Center, and collaborate with YouthBuild Boston to provide pro-bono engineering services while mentoring local students on engineering principles. On May 1, 2024, AKF joined WSP, one of the world’s leading professional services firms. The uniting of our firms provides expanded opportunities for our people and our clients to access WSP’s global network of expertise across every facet of the built environment while maintaining the focus on entrepreneurship and innovation that is central to who we are at AKF. Together, we will continue our shared commitment to cutting-edge engineering, decarbonization, and client satisfaction.

As schools all over the country recently welcomed students back, we shine the spotlight on Braintree South Middle School! AKF's Code Consulting team performed a Feasibility Study to determine the existing school’s ability to transition from grades 6–8 to grades 5–8. The study focused on existing building and accessibility code review for the renovations and expansion that would be needed to support the new programming. Ultimately, the town opted for the construction of a brand new three-story, 140,000 SF middle school. AKF’s Code team collaborated with the design team including architect MDS/Miller Dyer Spears Inc. and provided detailed life safety plans, code narratives, and code support throughout design and construction. We are proud to support educational institutions to help educators teach, communities grow, and students to learn! © Robert Benson Photography #EmpoweringHumanPotential #CodeConsulting #CodeReview #BackToSchool

Features and amenities include a 14,000-square-foot Ambulatory Surgery Center with 2 specialty ORs, 1 procedure room, onsite Sterile Processing, 11 prep/recovery rooms, 4 extended stay observation rooms, and a beautiful open-plan outpatient rehabilitation space located on the first floor. The Orthopedic, Hand and Spine Institute occupies the entire 16,000-square-foot second floor of the MOB and features state-of-the-art examination rooms, light-filled treatment areas, centralized imaging capabilities, and a wide array of other specialized design features to support the advanced rehab and reconstructive services provided. The project’s success highlights the dedication and collaboration of the entire team, and we extend our sincere thanks to everyone involved.

Last Friday, Fulcrum President Daryl Luter had the honor of attending the official ribbon-cutting ceremony for the expansion of Mac Hall at the YMCA of Greater Boston Pleasant Valley Campground in Tuftonboro, NH! This meaningful project allows the entire girls’ camp to dine together on the same floor, fostering the strong sense of community central to the camp experience. The expansion also includes new bathrooms, ADA ramp access, and fire suppression systems, highlighting the camp’s commitment to camper well-being. A special thank you to the YMCA Team, Market Square Architects, Scalora Consulting Group, Trillium Engineering Group, AKF Group, BSC Group, and the numerous subcontractors who generously donated labor and materials. Through our collaboration, Fulcrum secured approximately $75,000 in donations for this project.
