Planning Capital Projects with Precision - A Note from Matt Shaw, Co-Founder & COO

At Mechanical Group, we believe capital expenditure (CapEx) projects should be strategic—not reactive. As a third-generation technician, I’ve seen time and again how aligning CapEx investments with the actual life cycle of HVAC systems can unlock operational savings, extend equipment longevity, and reduce emergency repairs.

Too often, deferred maintenance or misaligned capital planning results in system failures at the worst possible time—typically in peak summer or winter loads when the building’s occupants feel it most.

That’s why our team works together with facility managers, property owners, and asset planners to develop long-range equipment replacement plans that are tailored to usage data, site conditions, and projected load demand—not just calendar years.

When the time comes, Mechanical Group has the in-house capability to deliver turnkey capital projects, from single RTU replacements to full-scale roof sweeps across multi-building portfolios. We manage every aspect—permitting, lift coordination, tenant communication, and startup—so your team doesn’t have to.

What we bring to the table:
  •  Lifecycle-based HVAC assessments
  •  Capital planning reports with 3-, 5-, and 10-year horizons
  •  Full demolition and installation of large-scale rooftop systems
  •  OEM-certified technicians for Daikin, LG, Carrier/Toshiba, and Mitsubishi/Trane
  •  Transparent cost structures and predictable timelines

Let’s work together to turn HVAC from a liability into an asset. Reach out if you’re preparing next year’s CapEx plan—we’d be happy to walk your site and deliver a no-cost lifecycle analysis.
