Bringing Buildings To Life

Our Mechanical systems bring your buildings to life:

• ● Much like our bodies circulatory and digestive systems, our Plumbing systems pump the life blood of your buildings; providing hot and cold water, drainage, and gas flow
• ● HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) Systems breath life into your buildings; providing livable conditions throughout harsh Canadian winters and the summer heat
• ● Fire Protection Systems act as your buildings immune system, protecting it from the threat of fire
• ● Control Systems act as your body’s brain and nervous system; monitoring, controlling, and optimizing your buildings performance

Lean Construction is a collaborative system that improves cost, schedule, and quality¹. Marquardt Mechanical began its Lean Journey in 2012 and is committed to fostering a culture of continuous improvement for our customers, company, and employees. We deploy various lean construction tools across our projects and organization; including the Last Planner System, 5S, Visual Management, Tiered Accountability, Standard Work, Prefabrication, Lean Design, and strategic Hoshin Kanri Planning. In addition to having a certified Lean Construction Consultant with 15 years international experience, we have several externally certified Lean practitioners², and have deployed a 42 hour internal training program for all office and front-line leaders that aligns to Lean Construction Institute of Canada’s Lean Practitioner Requirements.

¹Research shows that Lean projects were three times more likely to complete ahead of schedule and two times more likely to complete under budget

Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is more than just a contract, it is a collaborative approach to discovery, design, construction, operations, and maintenance. Marquardt Mechanical has used an integrated design and construction approach since we initially ventured into design build construction during the 1980s. Regardless of the contract delivery model, collaborating with consultants, subcontractors and suppliers to investigate value enhancing opportunities for our customers is part of our Start-Up process in every project. Estimating pre-assemblies, BIM or isometric installation drawings, and component prefabrication are used whenever possible to reduce waste on repetitive installations. Marquardt Mechanical has institutionalized Pull Planning, Weekly Work Planning, Daily Accountability Tier Meetings, Visual Management and Comprehensive Standard Work into all of our projects.

MARQ Solutions, a division of Marquardt Mechanical, provides 3D Laser Scanning services across Canada for commercial, institutional, and industrial owners, general contractors, architects, engineers, and trades.

Marquardt Mechanical utilizes 3D Scans to create virtual point clouds that capture the three-dimensional measurements of buildings, systems, and pipe at 2mm accuracy*.

* Per manufacturer specifications. Results vary depending on environment and unit settings.

3D Laser Scanning enables unprecedented accuracy of:

• ● Pre-construction environment on renovation projects
• ● BIM model creation, validation, and updates
• ● Off-site prefabrication
• ● Quality control
• ● Virtual and augmented reality
• ● Remote design, construction, maintenance, and asset management
