Services Provided

By working with customers on an individualized basis, Graves can reduce your owning and operating costs while simultaneously improving working conditions, upgrading infrastructure and protecting the environment. Our highly trained staff of professional engineers and certified technicians can provide a broad spectrum of solutions based on a number of services. Many of our services are provided by direct employees and not by subcontractors.

Graves Mechanical strives to be an industry leader driven by our ability to provide extensive construction services to our clients mirrored by none. Given our proven track record in design and assist, constructability analysis and estimating, and field experience, we believe that Graves can play and integral role in the overall success of any project.

We strive to maintain focus on constructability for every project. By critically and realistically addressing constructability up front, we will be able to ensure a smooth delivery and turnover to the owner. Given the fact that we will be involved very early in the project, we will be able to assist in maintaining focus on schedule, budget, maintenance, and efficiency. Each member of our Expert construction team is able to identify areas for improvement, implement cost control methods, and review project designs in order to guarantee maximum constructability.

Our professional engineers can provide your company with customized design solutions for your facility. We have extensive experience in many types of facilities including data centers, hospitals, office buildings, churches, schools, and more. In-house design/build capability assures you of single-source responsibility and accountability. The time and cost savings for a design/project can truly be significant. The Design Build Institute of American notes the following advantages for companies using the design-build method:

  • Faster Delivery– collaborative project management means work is completed faster with fewer problems.
  • Cost Savings– an integrated team is geared toward efficiency and innovation.
  • Better Quality– design-builders meet performance needs, not minimum design requirements, often developing innovations to deliver a better project than initially imagined.
  • Singular Responsibility– one entity is held accountable for cost, schedule and performance.
  • Decreased Administrative Burden– owners can focus on the project rather than managing disparate contacts.
  • Reduced Risk– the design-build team assumes additional risk.
  • Reduced Litigation Claims– by closing warranty gaps owners virtually eliminate litigation claims.

Integrated building design can improve energy performance and help you reduce the total ownership cost of a facility over the short and long term. Operating and maintaining your building over the long term is another way Graves Mechanical can benefit you. We excel in every aspect of our integrated delivery and always strive for building excellence for you and your facility.

Many comfort and energy problems in a commercial building can be traced back to issues with the building’s control system. Regardless of the complexity of the system, the intent is to deliver the right temperature and humidity to the right location, at the right time, and with the minimum cost possible.

  • Negative building pressure
  • Leakage from units
  • Hot and cold spots
  • A draft near the front door
  • Smoke loss at hood
  • Condensation from dripping diffusers
