Combined structural and mechanical (HVAC) engineer?

I’m looking for a firm/individual who can provide both structural and mechanical (HVAC) services.  I need stamped plans as well as inspections.  Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I would hire a structural engineer and let the contractor handle the HVAC design

As someone who reviews a lot of blueprints and works with a number of engineering firms, I can second that these disciplines are not handled by one individual.  Firms and individuals must now also be registered as a Special Inspection Agency with the DOB.  What are you building?

Two very different disciplines.  I’ve never seen one engineer who does both.  You may find a large firm that has both.
