“full-fledged” animal care facility across the hall. That project was previously in the works for about a year and Nor Mech Engineering was an active participant in the conception and design, due to the large quantity of Mechanical and Electrical components required for the project. Because they were so involved, David says they are particularly proud of the end-result, which he believes is exceptional. Moving forward, David’s goal is to continue doing meaningful projects like that one, largely on behalf of their many repeat clients. Keeping those repeat clients happy, David explains, is Nor Mech’s main priority. As such, the company doesn’t currently have any plans to grow. David says that could conceivably change, but only if the right opportunity presents itself. “I have been asked in the past if I wanted to get bigger, but I’m 56, and I don’t know if I want to start getting bigger at this stage of the game,” he says. “I would say I’m pretty happy with what we have at the moment here. But nothing’s set in stone. We’re always going to keep our options open.” Just because the company doesn’t intend to get bigger, however, that doesn’t mean they are not always striving to get better. David says they are always striving to innovate, to find ways to design and build more efficiently, and to create higherperforming buildings. “We’re always trying to save operating costs and be as energy efficient as we can,” David says. “We’re always trying to find ways to heat and cool more efficiently. We’re trying to find ways to better use and conserve water resources. We’re getting more into solar.” Nor Mech Engineering is also always up for a challenge, David concludes. One recent client wanted to build a 10,000-square-foot custom home that would almost be “off the grid.” David and his team were more than open to figuring out how to do that, and they are open to tackling similar challenges in the future.
