In the fast-moving world of multifamily construction, success depends on more than just quality work in the field. It starts long before ground is broken and continues until the last inspection is complete. At UMC, Inc., we bring a full-service approach to every project, combining deep industry expertise with services that support developers, GCs, and owners from start to finish.
We don’t just install plumbing and HVAC systems. We engineer smarter ways to build. Our team focuses on three core services that allow us to bring value at every stage of construction: design-build solutions, turnkey mechanical systems, and pre-construction planning. Each service plays a unique role in helping our partners deliver projects that are efficient, coordinated, and built to last.
Design-Build That Saves Time and Adds Value
A well-executed design-build approach can be a game-changer in multifamily and hospitality construction. At UMC, we bring both the technical skill and field experience needed to design systems that work well on paper and in practice. Our in-house team collaborates with project stakeholders early in the design phase to develop plumbing and HVAC systems that support the overall project vision while optimizing costs, layout, and efficiency.
This proactive design approach reduces change orders, streamlines approvals, and ensures better coordination between trades. With decades of real-world install experience, our team knows how to anticipate challenges and engineer solutions that make sense for the job site. The result is a smoother build process with fewer surprises and more confidence in the final product.
Turnkey Mechanical Solutions That Deliver Confidence
When clients choose UMC for turnkey mechanical work, they are getting more than just a contractor. They are gaining a partner who takes ownership of every phase of mechanical system delivery. From excavation and underground utilities to final system testing and commissioning, we manage the entire scope with a focus on safety, quality, and schedule integrity.
Our turnkey services are especially valuable on multifamily projects, where timelines are tight and coordination between trades is critical. By managing every step of the plumbing and HVAC installation under one roof, we eliminate gaps in communication and ensure that each phase aligns with the broader project schedule. Developers and GCs trust UMC to deliver high-performance systems that meet code, budget, and performance expectations without unnecessary delays.
Pre-Construction Planning That Sets the Tone for Success
It is no secret that good planning leads to better projects. At UMC, our pre-construction services are designed to lay a solid foundation before the first pipe or duct is installed. We work closely with general contractors, owners, and project engineers to analyze plans, spot potential conflicts, and offer value engineering solutions that improve system performance and reduce costs.
Our pre-construction team provides accurate budgeting, realistic timelines, and detailed coordination drawings that streamline the transition into construction. This early involvement allows us to anticipate site logistics, evaluate lead times for equipment, and ensure the project is ready to move forward with clarity and precision.
Why It Matters on the Job Site
Across the West, developers are under pressure to build faster and smarter. With labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and growing demand for multifamily housing, the need for reliable, experienced partners has never been greater. UMC’s integrated service model is built for this moment.
By combining design-build capabilities, turnkey mechanical systems, and expert pre-construction planning, we reduce risk and deliver better outcomes. We don’t just show up to install. We show up to lead, solve problems, and drive the project forward.
Whether you are planning a large-scale apartment complex, a new hotel, or a multiunit commercial space, UMC has the experience and systems to support your vision from day one. Let’s build something great together.
