Mechanical Systems Engineering and Design-Build Services
Smarter Designs for Smarter Builds
Here at MMC, we understand the importance of a smart design. Smarter designs mean smarter builds. Projects are designed only once, ensuring no surprises during the construction phase. From the initial estimate to the final transfer of files, our engineering team is committed to bringing you the best proposal possible.
Engineer of Record
Our professional engineers and experienced designers coordinate to form a highly specialized team that completes the preconstruction phase of the project. The team works diligently in order to provide the customer with a seamless solution for the mechanical systems. Our design will stay within your budget and allow you a lower Total Cost of Ownership.
Building Performance
Even when the preconstruction phase moves into the construction phase, our engineers are committed to the project. They work together with the tradesmen and project managers to avoid future performance issues. We want to exceed your expectations and to do this we need to provide you with the ultimate mechanical systems solution.
Designing With the Latest Technology: Virtual Building Systems (VBS)
3D technology that allows you to see it before we build it. Visualizing the complex mechanical systems inherent of a large commercial/industrial structure is not easy. VBS allows our clients to virtually walk through a building’s systems before any construction begins.
Advantages of Virtual Building Systems:
- Seeing and removing any problem that may arise in construction during the design phase
- Virtual walk-through of completed project for clients
- Digital plans make it easier to stay on target with a client’s budget
- All aspects of the construction phase can be included in the design phase
- Fast and efficient design process with the ability to make changes easily
The preplanning stage of construction is imperative. After all, it’s much easier to move a 3-ton unit on screen than it is after installation. At MMC, we approach every project the same way; we research all the plans and details completely, going all the way down to the nuts and bolts of a structure. Team members become familiar with every aspect of the project prior to employing CAD-MEP software.
Once we have fully anticipated the building’s inner workings, the CAD-coordination process begins, identifying all disciplines, intended routes, and elevations. This information is evaluated and discussed at the CAD-coordination meetings with representation of each team involved. The routing ground work is laid out and the Virtual Building Systems modeling proceeds. As the CAD process unfolds, communication between teams is crucial. Every problem, every alternative, is considered in order to make the most sustainable, streamlined design possible. As part of our closeout process, we distribute electronic and hard-copies of 2D and 3D as-built drawings. These designs are incorporated with warranty, manuals, and bill of materials (BOM) in electronic and PDF format.
