Design/Build
We design and build your heating, cooling, BAS and plumbing systems.
Whether it’s new construction, renovations or retrofits, HB McClure’s Design Build mechanical contracting team will accurately assess your needs and develop a plan to meet your long-term requirements and budget. Our expert design team will partner with you to engineer the optimal system at the best value.
Design/build consolidates responsibility for cost, quality and schedule.
Advantages of Design/Build
- Conceptual Budgeting
- Improved risk management – Cost, schedule performance and quality are clearly defined and change orders due to errors and omissions are virtually eliminated.
- Faster project delivery — Functions such as estimating, value engineering and construction can start during the design phase, which reduces the overall construction duration. This enables earlier revenue generation for the owner.
Pre-Construction
- Coordination drawings
- Submittals
- Schedule
- Lead times
- Manpower selection
- All of these efforts allow us to be better prepared for construction.
BIM
HB McClure Company uses the latest available software to provide our projects with an interactive visualization and real-time walk through of our largest projects. Giving us the advantage to navigate and explore the most efficient design and give our employees better project awareness to ensure the highest quality system available. We use BIM models for clash detection with other trades along with the structure to give us great foresight, enabling us to work ahead of the schedule. This advantage allows us to write “Request for Information” papers long before a problem can hold up job progress. HB McClure has worked with 3D modeling as a lead coordinator for projects up to 500,000 SF from the design phase to the project completion. We’ve been using 3D modeling since 2005 to design prefabricated systems using manufacturer spec fittings to ensure the highest accuracy for our BIM models.
Prefabrication
Whether you need to minimize your downtime or condense the overall installation schedule, our prefabrication team can build mechanical systems in-house which can be shipped and installed more efficiently than conventional methods. Leveraging prefabrication with technology including 3D scanning could benefit you through:
- Less disruption to your operations through reduced downtime
- Preconstruction visual of end-product to eliminate surprises
- Improved quality control
- More cost effective
BAS – Building Automation Systems (Controls)
Process Piping
- Skilled mechanics possess Medical Gas Certification which allows us to self-perform medical projects.
- ASME welding certifications
- R-stamp welding certifications
- Steam systems
- Food processing
- Waste-water treatment
LEED
In-house LEED credentials, allow us to integrate with the project design team to achieve the owners goal of receiving project certification.
Commercial/Industrial HVAC Systems
Whether new construction, a building expansion, equipment upgrade or retrofit, you can trust HB McClure’s 100+ years of industry expertise to do the job right. We will examine your current or planned space use and building envelope, discuss your expectations of comfort and operating costs, consider your future needs and make sure we are working to your budget.
