Mechanical Design Services

Schnackel Engineers approaches its mechanical design services with a proprietary AI-Enhanced focus on right-sizing solutions to meet each client’s unique specifications, without any unnecessary oversizing or waste. This AI optimized design approach yields solutions that achieve all of the design objectives of the project at the minimum possible cost and risk to the project.

Our experienced project managers, engineers and designers work closely with our partners to identify space, budget and other constraints upfront to drive stronger decision-making around system selection. By understanding your priorities, we can ensure the final design meets all critical criteria surrounding thermal comfort, efficiency and regulatory compliance, in balance with the more nuanced aesthetic and environmental requirements. What’s more, we bring an integrated in-house team of all MEP disciplines and fire protection professionals to every contract to address the impact of related systems early on.

More options to find the best mechanical design solution

For existing buildings or spaces, each project kicks off with one of a range of pre-design site survey options, from traditional site surveys to advanced LiDAR scans and thermal imaging that gather highly precise site information that can be imported directly into your design models.

We apply a wide range of advanced technologies toward helping our clients find the right design for their specific project needs. Our in-house, AI-powered design software automates the methodical work of routing and sizing mechanical ductwork and piping systems. By automating and optimizing this process, we can deliver more rapid results, lower costs and reduce the risk of errors—saving clients time and money over traditional engineering methods.

Having successfully completed thousands of mechanical designs using our advanced technology for a wide range of project types and sizes, from single tenant spaces to multi-million square foot mixed-use developments, we bring comprehensive experience to every design challenge.

At every turn, Schnackel Engineers is committed to delivering high-quality mechanical design services that keep projects on track and under budget, mitigating your risks every step of the way.
