Controls-Ready Mechanical Delivery

Mechanical Scope Built for a Clean Controls Handoff

3rdGen handles the mechanical work that has to be correct before controls integration can succeed. That includes equipment selection, installation, sensors and accessories, control points coordination, startup requirements, and the physical interfaces between the mechanical system and the controls contractor.

What we own

  • HVAC equipment installation
  • Factory controls and accessories
  • Sensors, actuators and control components within our scope
  • Equipment startup and commissioning
  • Required mechanical coordination
  • Point/interface information for controls integration

Where we coordinate

  • BAS/BMS contractor
  • Electrical contractor
  • Controls wiring
  • Network/interface requirements
  • Sequences of operation
  • Final integrated testing

Typical applications

VRF • RTU replacement • DOAS • heat pumps • tenant improvements • equipment modernization • BAS/BMS integration

Common Questions

Controls-Ready Mechanical Questions

Scope boundaries and coordination with your controls team.

Do you provide BAS programming or controls installation?

No. We install and start up the mechanical scope and prepare equipment, interfaces, and documentation for handoff. BAS programming, graphics, sequencing logic, and final controls integration stay with the controls contractor or BAS provider.

Can you coordinate directly with our controls/BMS contractor?

Yes. We participate in coordination with the GC, engineer, and controls team so responsibilities, control points, wiring paths, and startup sequencing are clear before equipment is set and commissioned.

What controls information do you provide with your mechanical scope?

We align submittals and installation with the contract documents. We provide point and interface information for the controls team, including equipment capabilities, sensor and actuator locations within our scope, and startup requirements relevant to integration.

Can you handle VRF, RTU and equipment-replacement projects requiring controls integration?

Yes. VRF, packaged rooftop replacement, DOAS, heat pumps, tenant improvements, and equipment modernization are common scopes where mechanical installation and a defined controls interface have to line up. We carry the mechanical work and coordinate handoff per project requirements.
