Comprehensive Project Solutions: Engineering, Design, Project Management, and Estimation

At NAC, we differentiate ourselves with our extensive project experience, dedicated workforce, excellent reputation, and continued focus on customer satisfaction in all markets we serve, including institutional, commercial, educational, and governmental construction. We leverage our expertise to provide a fully integrated approach to your project, from initial concept to successful completion.

Engineering & Design: Bringing Your Vision to Life

With over 40 years of mechanical experience, NAC’s engineering and design approach ensures your project exceeds expectations in performance and value. We are technology-driven, utilizing cutting-edge tools like Building Information Modeling (BIM), AutoCAD Fabrication, Navis, and Revit. Our highly talented team of 3D modelers and mechanical coordinators skillfully design systems that lead to efficient, high-quality installations.

Our design solutions include:

  • Building Information Modeling (BIM): A fully integrated BIM Database for estimating, modeling, purchasing, fabrication, and installation.
  • Design/Build and Design/Assist capabilities: Collaborative approaches to optimize project delivery.
  • Clash detection and resolution: Proactively identifying and solving potential conflicts.
  • Constructability review and feedback: Ensuring designs are practical and efficient to build.
  • Coordinated field installation and shop fabrication drawings (CAD/BIM/3D/Revit): Precise plans for seamless execution.
  • In-house technologies: Including Trimble Robotic Total Station layout and PlanGrid document control for enhanced accuracy and control.
  • As-built 3D models and drawings: Comprehensive documentation upon project completion.

Our collaborative approach thrives through seamless teamwork across our design, fabrication, and construction departments. These teams work together to solve challenging design and coordination issues, ensuring an excellent product. This in-house design capability, combined with our comprehensive array of divisions, proves essential to owners, general contractors, and architects.

To further enhance productivity and quality, NAC pre-fabricates components in our state-of-the-art fabrication shop. Ductwork and piping segments are built into our models, then numbered and shipped to the jobsite for efficient installation. This controlled environment pre-fabrication allows for superior quality control and saves you time and money.

We are customer-focused throughout the project lifecycle and beyond. Upon project completion, we compile and package all drawings, product data sheets, operation and maintenance manuals, record copy drawings, and warranty information for each client. We also store backup files on our secured servers for ongoing operations, maintenance, and any future facility modifications.

Project Management: Delivering Success On Time and On Budget

Effective project management is at the core of NAC’s success. Each NAC project team includes experienced professionals in engineering, project management, on-site supervision, skilled trades, and contract administration. Our top-notch staff is prepared to successfully deliver your project on time and on budget.

We truly value effective communication. NAC has invested in advanced communication technologies to ensure every stakeholder has a reliable method of staying informed throughout the project duration. We also provide 24-hour support for all service areas, offering our customers complete peace of mind.

NAC has a long history of being innovative and flexible, with project experience ranging from very large to small, specialty, and deadline-driven. Our talented employees are deeply committed to project safety, success, and your satisfaction.

Estimation: Optimizing Design, Maximizing Cost Efficiencies

NAC is deeply invested in providing unsurpassed quality through our project design and estimation services. We leverage the most current technology to ensure optimal performance, maximize cost-effectiveness, and enhance future operating efficiencies. Our meticulous estimation process also ensures we meet critical project timelines for owners, occupants, and builders.

  • Pre-planning is the framework for a great project, driven by the accuracy of our design and estimation. Our focus, organization, and thorough understanding of the project from inception to completion drive success and guard against lost job productivity.
  • Effective communication is fundamental to each project team. This ensures every team member understands and commits to their role throughout each phase, and that all deliverables align with the precise project schedule.
  • We constantly strive for value. Our professional, knowledgeable, and experienced design team is available for any need—however specialized—and is continually working to value-engineer each project. If something can be done more efficiently, the project design will be reevaluated to include the optimization, ensuring you get the most out of your investment.
