Our Engineered Services Team brings energy, environmental, automation and design/build contracting services, budgetary plans and targeted investments together for our valued clients.

The services described under our various disciplines are inter-related. Energy and environmental issues have a direct impact on each other. Automation systems are specifically used to manage energy consumption while still controlling indoor air quality, eliminating conditions that lead to mold and other biological growth. Some facilities have mechanical systems that are modifiable to accomplished needed changes, others don't. In some cases the value of modifications leads to consideration of system replacement.

Should you invest today's dollars in renovations to offset burgeoning energy expenses and reduce current repair costs, or plan replacements for future dollars and continue reserve planning? Facility Managers, Financial Managers, Condominium Associations and Building Owners seek prudent advice on these matters. There must be a focused plan to manage all these assets holistically, and that is where Engineered Services creates enormous value for our clients.

Mechanical contractors for years have stayed within the boundaries of construction, and the service of those systems. Computers and automation, escalating energy prices, indoor environmental concerns and building damage due to mismanaged or misapplied mechanical systems has lead to the   Engineered Services Team's inception, and to the rapidly growing demand for our services.

Many firms will only take your needs seriously if you are ready to buy today. The Engineered Services Team provides budgetary planning and life-cycle cost evaluations that incorporate the results of the audits we perform.
