Our work in higher education environments, whether laboratories or large commercial spaces, revolves around three key principles:

• Holistic Facility Knowledge: We carefully study how spaces will be used and how systems work together to create an integrated solution. From initial design to long-term maintenance, we prioritize constructability and accessibility to help ensure that systems are easy to maintain and repair without disrupting ongoing operations.
• High-Purity Fabrication: Inside our fabrication facilities, we create high-purity systems to ISO-level standards. We use orbital welding and high-precision equipment to help achieve the highest levels of hygiene and compliance, crucial for both lab and commercial facility environments.
• Attention to Detail: We go beyond the punch list. Every specification is thoroughly thought out to help ensure the systems function exactly as required. We approach every project as if we were occupying the space ourselves, striving for flawless execution.

We deliver some of the most complex HVAC and plumbing systems in educational facilities by adhering to a rigorous set of practices:

• Talent Retention: We hire only the best and invest in training and retaining experienced professionals. Our team’s expertise is proven, and our high standards help facilitate long-term success on every project.
• Safety First: We take no shortcuts when it comes to safety. Every team member is trained to identify and stop unsafe practices, helping ensure that all work proceeds with the highest level of care. Our motto: Go home the way you came in.
• Consistent Quality Through Advanced Fabrication: Our state-of-the-art fabrication shops, including Class-1000 clean rooms, allow us to fabricate and assemble high-purity systems for universities and research facilities, promoting precision and efficiency.
• Tracking & Accountability: Using advanced project management tools, we integrate data at every stage of the project—from estimating to completion. This promotes on-time, on-budget delivery while helping maintain the highest quality.
• Careful Collaborator Selection: We work with a trusted network of subcontractors and licensed professionals who meet our rigorous standards. This helps ensure the best possible outcome for every project.

• High Performance: We provide unwavering support to our people, helping ensure they take pride and ownership in their work.
• Result Focused: We always keep the needs of the end users in mind, envisioning how the systems will work for those who build, use, and maintain the facilities.
• Problem Solvers with a Growth Mindset: Every project presents unique challenges and opportunities for learning. We approach each one with the understanding that there’s always room to improve.
