Design

We design plumbing and mechanical systems with you, using design-build or design-assist so the design fits your budget and your building. We focus on innovative, sustainable solutions tailored to your project’s unique requirements and are committed to transforming your vision into reality.

Preconstruction

Preconstruction is where we find the savings: pricing options, checking constructability, and building the schedule with you.

Cost Control

We offer budget planning, cost estimation, procurement management, value engineering, and financial tracking. We aim to minimize costs without compromising the system’s performance or compliance with regulations.

Coordination

Our coordination services integrate design to address conflicts during the constructability review process. Design conflicts avoided or eliminated early in the project positively impact the overall project, ensuring quality is never compromised.

Fabrication

We produce highly specialized, unique mechanical and plumbing components and assemblies. Our state-of-the-art facility enables our experienced team to meet the full scope of fabrication requirements that range from ¼ inch to 60-inch diameter piping.

Installation

Our crews install every system in the building, from the central plant to the last fixture. Our future-forward vision drives us to deliver exceptional results.

Preventative Maintenance

Our skilled technicians specialize in preventative maintenance and repair of commercial systems. From emergency repair to maintenance-only contracts, we support a range of industries, including healthcare, education, government, and mission-critical data centers.

Retrofit

We offer comprehensive mechanical retrofit services to reduce energy costs, safeguard employees, and improve comfort. By enhancing system efficiency and adopting sustainable practices, companies can significantly advance their sustainability goals, improve occupant comfort, and save money.

Energy Services

Our commissioning, retro-commissioning, and recommissioning services help our clients achieve significant cost savings and increased energy efficiency. By optimizing the performance of both new and existing mechanical systems, we ensure they operate at peak performance and reduce energy consumption while enhancing system reliability and sustainability.

Hear From Our Clients


  • It is clear that when Archer accepts a mechanical piping and plumbing job, they accept all the responsibility that goes with it. Archer Mechanical was initially brought on board to perform the services for the Core and Shell phase of the MOB. It was clearly demonstrated early on that from your quality craftsmanship, team approach and quick turnaround process, your team was the best fit to move forward on the build out of the tenant spaces.

    The Archer Mechanical Site Superintendent, Corey Walton consistently demonstrated professionalism, positive attitude and provided the right information at the right time, all with a team mentality. The professionalism demonstrated was truly appreciated.

  • We’ve partnered with Archer Mechanical on the MTC project. This project included 3 six story buildings totaling just over 540,000 sf of space. In addition, it included a 168,000 sf parking garage with a large underground mechanical tunnel and high temp vault. This was a very difficult project both from schedule, as well as logistically. Through clear communication, commitment, and accountability, Archer Mechanical was able to finish this project on schedule, and with the highest quality of systems installed.

  • I have had the pleasure of working with Archer Mechanical on several projects. Archer mechanical is great to work with. They are always looking out for the client’s best interest and construct the best system possible.

    Not only is Archer Mechanical a great contractor, but they also prove to be a great collaborative force during design and their input is always welcome. Budget, time-line, and quality are always the highest priority. They are great at providing feedback on piping, materials, equipment manufacturer, constructability, and most importantly serviceability.

    In addition to providing excellent contractor services, Archer has demonstrated a bulldog mentality when tuning and commissioning the final product. They are always keen to make sure that the systems have been set-up and commissioned as designed prior to turning over the final product to the owner.

  • I am pleased to recommend Archer Mechanical for wet mechanical work. I have been privileged to work with Archer Mechanical on a number of my commercial projects. I have used Archer over the past three years as a wet side mechanical resource to complete many types of midsize projects with complicated retrofit applications. They have been very responsive, professional, and efficient in the bid process as well as the construction process. I have found Archer Mechanical be vert proactive in the approach to projects and view them as a partner in the success of my projects.

  • I have recently worked with Archer Mechanical on a number of large projects. Specifically I worked with them on the new Alta View Hospital in a design assist partners, Archer Mechanical impressed me with the amount of detail they presented.

    During the design assist and Preconstruction phase they were very proactive in their efforts to stay engaged in the design process. They were thorough in their documentation of the recommendations they provided. They kept the team informed on the budget and offered many options that helped us maintain the budget.
