MEP Building Infrastructure Design & Upgrades

Mechanical and electrical infrastructure represents the heart and arteries of a building. Understanding how to upgrade these systems in a cost effective manner is always a prime concern. Major mechanical and electrical systems in a building represent significant allocations of an owner’s resources throughout the life of a building. Ketchmark & Associates, Inc. excels in maximizing the owner’s investment. We strive to minimize your maintenance costs through quality design and detailed coordination. We minimize the energy expenditure of your building by integrating the latest technologies and energy standards. Finally, we provide systems that operate seamlessly in the background, providing the building occupant the comfort and safety they require to carry about their business.

Electric, steam and gas fired chillers, steam and hot water boilers, major ventilation systems, direct digital control (DDC) Building Automation Systems (BAS), piping distribution, incoming electrical service, switchboards, power distribution, fire alarm, security, emergency and standby generators and telecommunications represent only a portion of the many infrastructure upgrades Ketchmark & Associates, Inc. has been involved in.
