Core Mission
An HVAC Project Manager delivers cooling systems on time, within budget, and up to engineering code by coordinating clients, engineers, and site installers.
Phase-by-Phase Responsibilities
1. Design & Procurement
Verify Calculations:
Check thermal heat load requirements against equipment specs.
Survey Sites:
Map out pipe routing, core-drilling, and electrical capacity.
Source Gear:
Order long-lead units (VRF, chillers) to prevent site delays.
2. On-Site Installation
Manage Trades:
Coordinate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installers daily.
Protect Structures:
Scan for structural rebar before drilling pipe holes.
Sequence Work:
Install hidden ducting and piping before ceilings are sealed.
3. Quality & Testing
Pressure Test:
Witness mandatory 24-hour nitrogen leak tests at 550 PSI.
Check Drainage:
Verify a 1:100 downhill slope on drain lines to prevent leaks.
Enforce Safety:
Oversee high-risk tasks like copper brazing and roof work.
4. Budget & Handover
Track Costs:
Approve contractor progress claims and manage variation orders.
Test Performance:
Confirm system achieves the target 8C–12C cooling differential.
Deliver Manuals:
Hand over as-built blueprints, warranties, and maintenance logs.
