Each new project presents new challenges that are opportunities for Armistead to meet your expectations through innovation, skill and creativity. Our highly skilled, professionally trained staff – from the home office to the field – is prepared for any project challenge.


Challenge #1 TIME
Pre-project planning and design, in-house CAD, purchasing, critical path-scheduling and pre-fabrication are essential components of every project. We know how to give your project the right start, and then keep it moving in the right direction.

Challenge #2 COST
Because tools and shop inventory are essential to every job, two strategic locations are completely stocked with the latest trade tools and basic materials so we can supply our job sites quickly and efficiently. Our UA pre-fabrication capabilities are just one way we stay on course and on schedule. An in-house fabrication shop can reduce on-site labor costs by as much as 60% or more. The ability to prefabricate, as well as preplan the job, will add to a contractor’s overall performance and end results to their customers. Material handling is reduced due to proper equipment, and then in the work field, labor production is notably higher. Finally, digitalized estimation, accounting and project management software enable us to track projects as they run, alerting us to any potential overrun.


Challenge #3 QUALITY
Quality is the Hallmark of Armistead Mechanical, Inc. We never sacrifice quality for price. Prefabrication and QA/QC means quality equipment and testing. Testing and quality assurance are performed as a part of production. Medical gas piping to supply oxygen, nitrogen and other gases is a vital part of the systems in hospital construction. Armistead Mechanical, Inc. is proud to be providing this quality work for some of the most prestigious medical and pharmaceutical companies in the world.

Challenge #4 SAFETY
We are committed to training and education for every member of our team. Every journeyman goes through five years of the UA apprenticeship training program before moving through other levels of certifications based on experience, continued training, and skill. Field and management personnel participate in our continuing in-house training as well as MCAA rigorous training conferences and seminars.

Management and field are required to have mandatory 10-Hour OSHA Certification. Armistead promotes continued safety training, and is the recipient of several safety awards.

Challenge #5 LABOR
Armistead Mechanical, Inc. is proud to be affiliated with the finest Local Unions in the region to supply the manpower and craftsmanship required to meet the demands and quality work requirements of our projects. This solid partnership with our labor counterparts is one of the keys to our success. Their commitment to training, testing, certification and safety are the insurance we need to move ahead with confidence on each job with efficiency and productivity.

Armistead Mechanical, Inc. is signatory to many UA National Agreements that enable us to provide services anywhere in the USA and Canada.


Challenge #6 SERVICE
Incorporated in 1989, AMI Services, Inc. is the “service arm” of Armistead Mechanical, Inc. Originally founded to assist the business with its numerous HVAC projects, AMI Service, Inc. has grown into a multi-million dollar company servicing the tri-state area. Working hand in hand Armistead and AMI have forged a solid front in providing impeccable, immediate service, repair and maintenance for customers.


Challenge #7 INVENTORY & EQUIPMENT
Because the right tools and shop inventory are essential to every project, Armistead maintains more than 35,000 square feet of shop between our two locations. Both shops are completely stocked with the latest trade tools and basic materials so we can supply our job sites quickly and efficiently. Our Purchasing division is capable of acting quickly and cost-effectively to meet project needs for equipment and material.


Challenge #8 COMMUNICATION
From the top down, Armistead Mechanical, Inc. puts into place a chain of communication that ensures every team member, each person in the field, and management are in touch and informed about your project.
