Our Services

The Systems Behind Every Building

Much of our work happens behind the scenes, quietly supporting every building we partner on. From mechanical and aquatic systems to fire suppression and energy solutions, our designs operate out of sight, tucked away above ceilings, within walls, in plant rooms, and underground. Though often unseen, their impact is constant, supporting comfort, safety, and dependable performance throughout every space.

Our process is hands-on and collaborative. We create practical designs, thoroughly test them, and work closely with your team to keep everything running smoothly. By focusing on long term reliability and seamless coordination, we help deliver spaces that perform, resulting in fewer surprises and a partnership built on trust.

Fire Suppression Design


We reduce risk and coordination gaps in fire suppression design by delivering tailored, code aligned systems that integrate smoothly with the broader building scope. With this work delivered in-house, clients benefit from a single point of contact and clear mechanical coordination, from concept through construction.

ENERGY + SUSTAINABILITY 

 

We help clients plan and deliver lower energy, lower carbon buildings by taking a practical, whole building approach to performance. Sustainability goals are connected directly to engineering decisions from the outset, helping teams make informed choices that balance energy, cost, and long-term value.

Commissioning


We support successful handover by acting as an independent partner focused on how systems perform, not just whether they are complete. Our commissioning team stays engaged, responsive, and technically detailed from design through operations, helping systems function as intended and align with our client’s goals for functional, efficient performance in both new and existing spaces.

Our Client’s Insights

“Since the beginning of my time here at Calgary Police Service, as Leader of Building Operations, I have been working with Pardeep Sharma and Bryan Lord on sensitive and important base building and data centre HVAC concerns that have not been correctly addressed for many years. The AME team has provided me with facts, options and recommendations based on a restricted budget for me to accurately communicate with management to make effective and efficient business decisions. I look forward to working with the AME team on future lifecycle planning and execution mechanical and HVAC projects.”

“We are pleased with the Commissioning Services provided by AME for the Bettie Allard YMCA in Coquitlam, B.C. From the start to finish during the commissioning stage, AME took the lead, overseeing the equipment start up and system commissioning tasks promptly. We also appreciate their ability in identifying design issues, addressing, and resolving problems in a timely fashion. We look forward to working with them again in the near future.”

“Cadillac Fairview and the AME team have had a long-standing working relationship as they are the preferred Mechanical Consultant for Pacific Centre Complex & HSBC Building. I have had the pleasure of working with AME since I joined CF four years ago, on a multitude of projects ranging from TI’s to major base building mechanical upgrades, and they have consistently delivered high-quality work while keeping the client’s best interest in mind. I look forward to collaborating on further successful projects with their great team!”

“The University of Calgary have been using AME’s mechanical services for several years now. AME have been very consistent in quality and have maintained or exceeded delivery schedules. They are prompt to responding to our requests during time-crushing situations. Principals are hands-on and reachable, we rely in their strong engineering expertise and continue to be extremely pleased with their knowledge, teamwork and ability to integrate with our facilities teams. We would, without reservation, recommend them to any and all potential clients.”

“Since early 2000, Rob Walter and the AME team have been working closely with the Regional District of Central Kootenay in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint from energy studies to new construction work. It has been a great pleasure to work with the AME team and we look forward to our future collaborations.”

“Mechanical design and construction have become increasingly complex as the industry contends with fast changing technologies and evolving performance standards. With AME as our mechanical design partner, we have great comfort knowing what we ultimately design and specify on our projects will perform and meet the needs of the people who will live and work in the communities we build.”
