    🤝 Building More Than Systems: Culture, Collaboration, and Craftsmanship

    At Power Design, we’re not just building full-service mechanical systems—we’re building a new standard for what it means to deliver with excellence. Over the last eight years, our Mechanical Division has grown from an extension of our in-house engineering team into a nationwide force that’s delivering multi-trade solutions on some of the most complex projects across the country.

    We sat down with our Vice President of Mechanical, Jason Heffelmire, to find out how our mechanical design build services got started and see what it is evolving to. Check it out:

     

     

    From Design to Delivery: How It Started

    What began with a focus on understanding product types and system designs has evolved into full-service design-build capabilities.

    “We started on the engineering side, then moved into building the projects we designed. Now, we’re taking on everything from refrigerant-based systems to full hydronic builds—on any scale, in any market.” Vice President of Mechanical | Jason Heffelmire

    This growth is backed by our growing national footprint and a culture built on collaboration, quality, and communication.

    What Sets Us Apart

    Power Design Mechanical is part of something bigger: a true multi-trade model where electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and systems teams operate under one roof and one mission. That means more collaboration, fewer scope gaps, and a smoother project delivery for our partners.

    “Our people don’t point fingers—they jump in and get it done,” Jason says. “Whether it's mechanical helping electrical, or plumbing supporting structural work, our culture of collaboration shows up on every job site.” Vice President of Mechanical | Jason Heffelmire

    It’s not just about what we build, it’s how we build it. With a fully accredited apprenticeship program, hands-on training labs, and a dedicated Learning and Development team, we’re actively growing the next generation of mechanical construction talent in-house. We saw the need for self-performing and reliable labor, so we took matters into our own hands.

    Featured Project Excellence in Action

    These standout builds represent just a portion of our coast-to-coast portfolio brought to life by our mechanical teams:

    The Weld, Hammell Drive A & B (Raleigh, NC): A two-tower example of multi-trade success, this project showcases the tight collaboration between our mechanical and electrical teams. Tower A is 634,041 sq. ft and Tower B is 492,897 sq. ft. Multi-trade teamwork provided an experience so seamless, our partner called it one of their best to date.

    FAMU Student Housing and CEP Expansion (Tallahassee, FL): At this 183,496 sq. ft education and student housing facility, our mechanical team played a key role in delivering an advanced system upgrade while maintaining coordination with campus operations, underscoring our ability to manage sensitive, high-stakes environments.

    101 N. Meridian (Tampa, FL): A 498,308 sq. ft high-rise with a split DX system, this project showcases how our Mechanical design and build teams meet the demands of vertical construction services in a booming city, delivering performance without compromise. Our scopes included Design Build mechanical and electrical to support successful project delivery.

    Each project showcases not only our technical ability but also the trust we’ve earned from partners who expect the Power Design standard.

    Where We’re Headed

    With strategic growth in markets across the U.S., more expanded capabilities on the horizon, and a rock-solid team that’s passionate about building, Power Design Mechanical is just getting warmed up.

    “We’re here to build a mechanical and plumbing group that delivers the same level of excellence Power Design has been known for over the last 35 years.”
