Services
Mechanical Engineering
Our mechanical engineering services provide accurate project documentation and cost-effective blueprints for commercial and industrial clients. We specialize in designing mechanical systems that balance capital expenditure constraints with operational efficiency requirements. Our engineers work directly with construction teams to ensure designs are optimized for practical installation and long-term performance.
BIM Coordination
In-house BIM capabilities enable detailed pre-construction analysis through advanced 3D modeling. This technology improves project scheduling by identifying installation sequencing challenges before construction begins. Our BIM coordination integrates with architectural plans to create data-rich models that enhance both construction efficiency and future maintenance operations.
HVAC Maintenance
Comprehensive HVAC maintenance programs ensure optimal system performance for commercial and institutional clients. Our technicians provide preventive maintenance and emergency repair services tailored to each facility's operational needs. With direct knowledge of original system specifications, we deliver maintenance solutions that extend equipment lifespan and improve energy efficiency.
Mechanical Construction
Full-scope mechanical construction services include installation of HVAC, plumbing, and specialized mechanical systems. Our self-performed construction work combines blue-collar expertise with white-collar innovation for precise system implementation. This approach ensures seamless transition from design to installation while maintaining strict quality control standards.
Pre-Construction Services
Our pre-construction services deliver detailed project analysis and cost estimation before construction begins. This phase includes value engineering to optimize budget allocation while maintaining design integrity. By integrating design and construction expertise early, we identify potential challenges and develop efficient solutions before project execution.

I am a 24 year old license journeyman who started at this company when I was 18 years old. They gave me the opportunity to start a career here and sent me to through 4 years of apprenticeship schooling. They paid for all 4 years and provided me with all the tools and necessities needed to complete my apprenticeship. I have been with this company for 6 years now and i see nothing but advancement for me and my family being present here at MEC2.
