Sophisticated spaces, including manufacturing, research, medical, and food storage, may require uniquely designed and curated equipment configurations to comply with production specifications, building codes, and industry regulatory restrictions. Careful thought, planning, and engineered calculations must be considered.

We embrace special projects with enthusiasm when we develop equipment solutions that deliver maximum value and performance to our customers.

Special Projects FAQs

What is the process for initiating a special project?

In certain situations, your general diagnostic may get elevated to ‘special project’ status if we catch something out of the ordinary or that requires additional work. For example, if we reviewed your walk-in coolers and the equipment is three generations old, the insulation is breaking down, or there is mold or mildew in the equipment, we might recommend a demo & new installation on those walk-ins, subject to your approval of course.
