Our Firm

Our design philosophy expands TMP's services beyond traditional boundaries. We have cultivated a sensitivity for client and market priorities in all facets of the building services mechanical engineering field from engineering assessments and studies through typical and specialized design commissions, document production, contract administration, design/build, energy studies, field inspection and supervision, to building systems commissioning and consulting services for building operations. Project types include a broad spectrum of commercial, high rise, institutional, retail and industrial applications of all sizes. The specific expertise gained by recognized champions in each specialty, is shared by means of a purposeful and dedicated inter and intra-office communications system.

Our approach to each project is centred on the assignment of a principal of the firm to full responsibility for the leadership role through all project phases. This principal manages the assigned TMP team and its continuing client interface from initial concept design through the warranty period, drawing the specific expertise required from our staff group.

The Mitchell Partnership Inc. has gained a unique reputation for the design of energy efficient mechanical systems including original development of central heat pump chillers, hot and cold thermal storage, compartmentalized VAV air conditioning systems and typical office underfloor air distribution. Many of our techniques have since become industry standards.

Our close association with the construction and building operations components of our industry provides valuable feedback, giving our staff unique insight into the effectiveness of their efforts and allowing them to continuously upgrade their familiarity with, and understanding of, our increasingly complex specialty. As an example of the benefit of this exposure, we develop our own mechanical systems cost estimates for most projects and have worked very successfully with team cost consultants to apply this expertise.

TMP is fully automated in design and document production. Electronic document communication by Modem, Internet, and ISDN manages the instantaneous information exchange necessary in local and overseas projects.

Construction practices, traditionally very parochial, have benefited immensely from the global expansion of markets. We have contributed to this evolution through the transfer of advanced technologies from international projects, to encourage adoption of innovative practices on all our projects. Our 20 years of overseas project participation has developed within us a respect for other social and technical cultures. We research new and proven opportunities, listen to our clients' needs, and investigate local conditions before arriving at recommended design solutions. Ultimate success in operating locally, or overseas, transcends technical competence, to focus upon committed team participation, collectively assuring technical excellence.

The Mitchell Partnership Inc. has prospered as a strong member of a project team. We contribute our full resources to the specifics of our own discipline, while maintaining an overall dedication to the ultimate success of the project and the objectives and requirements of the Client.
