We work with architects on custom residential — coordinating mechanical systems in BIM so your design intent reaches the field intact.
But it usually does. Plumbing/HVAC is almost always resolved last. Figured out on site, after all the beams are in place, structure can't move, and you're wishing you had caught this earlier.
Beams are set, joists are locked, and now you have bulkheads where you never planned for them.
By permit stage, ceiling heights are locked, structure is set, and every system lands wherever it fits. Early coordination changes everything. But only when it actually happens early.
The contractor answers to the budget. The trades answer to the schedule. INFORM answers to your drawings. That's a different kind of partner on a project.
"They go above and beyond to provide options and creative solutions. What I love most is that INFORM is excited to collaborate to make sure the design intention is held within the space — most of our solutions they have brought to the table."
INFORM works exclusively in custom residential. We come in early, coordinate fully in BIM, and stay through construction — always in service of the building you designed.
Every mechanical system modelled and integrated with your drawings. Conflicts resolved at a screen, not through an RFI at rough-in.
Our studio doesn't spread across project types. Custom residential is all we do — the complexity, the craft, the expectations.
We ask to be brought in at design development. Mechanical shaped around your architecture from the start causes fewer problems.
When field questions come up — and they always do — your studio contact knows the project and protects your design intent through to completion.
Custom louvre screens, flush-mounted exhaust hoods, concealed heat pump enclosures. When mechanical is coordinated early and built into the design, it stops being something you work around and starts being something no one notices.
Three phases. No handoff gaps. The same studio team from first conversation to final inspection.
Before we touch anything, we learn your project. What can we learn from the heat load calculations. What's important to you and your client. We ask the questions most mechanical engineers don't.
Fully coordinated mechanical systems modelled in BIM, integrated with your drawings. Clashes caught and resolved before a single trade sets foot on site.
Project drawings that contractors can actually build from. And a studio contact who treats every field question like it matters — because it does. We stay present from first drawing to final inspection.
Our studio works with architects across the continent — delivering fully coordinated mechanical systems regardless of jurisdiction or location.
