HVAC is

We offer expertise in design-build, design assist and plan/specification services for a variety of projects, in both new construction and tenant improvement projects. Whether designing a single-component or leading the design team, our customers have varying specification and delivery requirements, with the experience and overlapping capabilities within our team we can avoid re-creating the wheel with our proven design models.

With over 50 years in combined experience in HVAC & Mechanical Construction, Building Automation & Controls, and Architectural/Custom Metal work, we have a reputation built on handling intricate designs that have both unique and specific parts that may require extensive planning and logistics, labor organizing, and the foresight on how-to manipulate metals per gauge, finish and application.

Autodesk Revit MEP is the object-based software package used by our Engineering team to facilitate plans, sections, elevations, 3D renderings, quantities, and pertinent data needed to fully coordinate efforts to complete the Mechanical Construction elements of our projects. From JMI’s BIM database, we can perform design tasks & reviews, queries, and generate construction documents – meaning less time & more productivity for coordinating building data between Architects, Engineers, Manufacturers, and Subcontractors involved on each project.

Our proven methodologies have enabled robust communications and the ability to take a responsive approach to unforeseen or to potential problems throughout all stages of construction. This has enabled our team to meet our clients’ needs within the original estimated costs and minimize the amount of potential change-orders.

JMI has a built a reputation for client satisfaction with previously-performed work for being a great source of construction knowledge, design quality, and expert craftsmanship.

While there are many different ways to structure a construction project, JMI's approach involves the overlapping capabilities within our team throughout all stages of construction, coordinating of trades, manufactured equipment, and materials & components that make up infrastructure. This requires being up-to-date on regulatory requirements, innovative software & equipment, and maintaining a high-level of craftsmanship in order to maintain our reputation of quality service.

We will minimize the potential cost escalation with pre-planning and productivity procedures to the meet the needs of the original estimated cost, unless the scope of work has changed. The time-savings and other efficiencies offered to our customers, is due to our BIM Model which enables robust communications and ability to coordinate closely with design teams and the myriad variations between trades.

The complexity and the project delivery structure of projects vary based upon the specific requirements of each of our customers. Common project delivery methods for JMI are: Design-Build, Design-Assist, and Plan-Spec. However, with over 50 years of experience in the Mechanical & HVAC Construction industry and by means of the use of computer design technology and estimating software. We have been able to develop a comprehensive database that integrates our deep knowledge and consists of today’s new fabrication, construction standards and project deliveries, as well as take on non-traditional bidding, contracting, and construction processes.

Our proven BIM and Critical Path Method methodologies have enabled robust communications among our project team and between selected design & construction teams (Architects, Structural Engineers, General Contractors, etc.) and subcontractors. In the event, of constructability issues, our team has the flexibility to allocate the proper resources to provide clients with alternative construction options, products, and MEP systems.

An incremental part of our construction management and services, involves estimating and procurement. From the moment questions or discrepancies are discovered, we are committed to providing pricing according to the terms of the contract and will expedite this process if the issue is affecting the schedule. RFI’s and changes are a normal part of construction. However, is against our company beliefs to submit a low bid price and then attempt to find every change order available. Our intent is to provide a fair price on the contract scope of work, as well as on change orders. Hence, from the beginning, we maintain a collected amount of data so that we aren’t re-inventing the wheel but increasing knowledge, and adding Value Engineering and Quality Craftsmanship to our ever-changing industry and construction methods. Typically we have witnessed cases to which an inability to accurately estimate costs resulted from (1) lack of knowledge of the work need to meet the requirements of the project, for example unsearched contracts, which may involve substantial uncertainties, and (2) lack of cost experience. – Which is why pre-planning and well qualified project teams and enhanced communicates are the core of JMI’s process and procedures.
