Professional Mechanical Engineering Consultants
Erecting a modern building from scratch, or restoring or remodeling one, demands specific building design and construction standards. Creating the former and observing the latter require a team led by an innovative mechanical engineering consulting company and a team of commercial and industrial professionals committed to doing their best for their clients, like MNA.
Construction companies in Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia build with the benefit of mechanical engineering solutions to help solve any problems that arise.

our solutions
Mechanical Engineering Consulting & Design Services We Provide
Mechanical design impacts every element of a commercial or industrial facility. Most functions are related to mechanical systems, and MNA offers mechanical engineering solutions that allow those functions to perform efficiently and safely.
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning)
Almost no areas have great weather all year round, so optimal climate control is necessary for the comfort, health, and safety of building occupants, not to mention temperature-sensitive machinery and equipment. Engineered solutions for HVAC are devised in the context of electrical and fire prevention systems, among others.
Plumbing Systems
Water is essential, and well-thought-through plumbing systems are vital for the delivery of clean, reliable water. A mechanical engineering consultant recognizes the necessity of sanitation and expelling wastes and other matter by means of piping systems and conduits. Accordingly, the safety, arrangement, and organization of plumbing passages and valves are best handled by professional engineers.
Fire Protection Systems
The suppression of damaging fire is of great concern for everyone, and can be tackled by fire protection and mechanical consulting engineers. The design and placement of sprinkler systems, standpipes, and emergency hoses make all the difference between a small fire and a disaster. Specification for quick and simple access to water sources, indoor and outdoor, is a necessary component of effective fire suppression that mechanical engineers are experienced in.
Smoke Control Systems
Flames are one danger from fires, but smoke inhalation is just as fatal and destructive, particularly in institutional structures where a quick exit is more challenging. Mechanical engineer consulting finds the best design and devices that deflect smoke away from vulnerable populations, keeping occupants and visitors safe.
Sectors & Industries
We Serve
The services and special projects performed by MNA Quality Consulting are numerous and varied across industries and sectors. All kinds of buildings, residential, commercial, and public, credit MNA with significant improvement to structures and systems:
Gathering Places
These are operated by government and non-profit organizations and include courthouses, archive depositories, exhibition halls, and athletic arenas.
Detention Facilities
These facilities might be for the imposition of justice or the protection of residents and include penitentiaries, local jails, psychiatric hospitals, and other places of confinement.
Healthcare Facilities
Healthcare facilities run the gamut from hospitals and clinics to nursing homes and rehabilitation centers.
Residential Housing
Residential housing includes everything from apartments to foster care homes, college dormitories, daycare facilities, and religious housing- all of which require detailed mechanical engineering designs.
Wholesale and Retail Establishments
Retail and wholesale covers anywhere that assets exchange hands for pay, including supermarkets, consumer outlets, small shops, department stores, and venues for individual producers to exhibit and sell their products. We serve large corporations and small businesses alike.
Industrial Buildings
Industrial buildings are of high, medium, or low hazard levels. High hazard includes warehouses and processing centers that deal with flammable fluids and volatile chemicals, for example, while medium includes many manufacturing factories, lumber yards, and assembly plants, and low hazard industry encompasses storage of non-hazardous materials, open-air parking lots, and creameries.
Ready to Get Started?
Any manager or real estate entrepreneur that works in one of these sectors can consider our dedicated team at MNA Quality Consulting. Just share a few preliminary details about your business and project during your consultation with our Calgary mechanical engineering company, and we'll take it from there.
our process
Our Mechanical Engineering Consulting Solutions Process
To maximize the safety, efficiency, and comfort of a building in any sector, we follow a tried-and-true process that leads to well-executed mechanical engineering solutions.
Advice and Consultation
We prepare preliminary estimates for project costs and time needed. In addition, we schedule initial meetings with clients to create or confirm a unified vision of the project goals while presenting drawings and models for discussion. We also advise on permits and inspections.
Mechanical Engineering Project Services
In this next phase, our mechanical consulting engineers work out a project plan that conforms to client objectives, time limitations, and financial resources. During this stage, we also assess the feasibility and confer with outside mechanical engineering design service providers.
Conceptual Design
At this point, the mechanical consulting engineers begin to place parameters on the concepts: location of the project, its size, and scope, the selection of tools, technology, and approach, the adoption of what resources from which to draw, sketches, external reports, and briefs, as well as client specifications and agreed-upon project criteria.
Preliminary Design
After receiving input from other engineers and experts involved, the MNA mechanical engineering consulting firm produces exploratory design drawings. At the same time, we procure the necessary applications for approval from those government offices from whom permissions are issued.
Detailed Design
Detailed design is the phase where flesh is put on the bones, i.e. specifications and drawings become more definitive and precise than the initial, more general, renderings. Along with meticulous representations of the smoke control, HVAC, and fire suppression systems, MNA transfers the particulars to the contractual agreements and the applications for construction permits.
Construction Procurement
This consultive stage finds the mechanical engineering design service providing counsel and resources with regard to evaluating bids by contractors, tendering offers, and composing the contracts that go to successful bidders. Because of the unique technical and complex nature of each project, boilerplate contracts and agreements are not sufficient.
Construction Administration
MNA Quality Consulting offers multiple services once the actual work commences. Among these are notices of proposed changes from owner to contractor, orders for changes, on-site monitoring, examination of shop drawings for compliance with approved designs, approving contractor payment requests, participating in the construction project, and addressing problems that may arise.
Technology and Software Tools We Use
Modern building construction benefits from powerful software and sensitive measuring devices to assess and produce designs that are highly rigorous in terms of accuracy and precision. Some of the technology at our disposal is:
- AutoCAD (computer-aided design) by Autodesk - a two- and three-dimensional design program favored by most architects, drafters, and engineers.
Featured Alberta Mechanical Engineering Projects
Our design engineering consultative services are used across a wide range of venues, many of them in Calgary.

I am very pleased with the services provided by Monika from MNA Quality Consulting. Monika brought the optimal mix of her knowledge, thoroughness, and real-world experience to develop our Health and Safety Program. She has made the consulting process easy, delivered the project on time, and surpassed the minimum requirements. I am excited about OneContact Integrated Facility Services now having a well-planned and excellent Health and Safety Program. This will help us move up to the next level. I highly recommend MNA Quality Consulting for your construction-related and SECOR/COR certification needs

It has been a great pleasure working with Monika. Her ability to influence others to achieve the team's vision is remarkable. Her endless support proved to be a great asset for any team out there that are looking for a great motivational supporter. Her knowledge brought upfront at the start of project and has been playing a valuable role since. It was a bitter sweet moment when the project was done and have to say goodbye to her as we all value her work very much.
