We're Rebuilding Mechanical Design

Built by engineers, for engineers.

The mechanical design industry hasn't changed in decades.
We're changing that.

Radically.
Deliberately.

And with engineers at the center.

Our Story

Meeting The Moment.

In 2019, general contractors started moving to web-based management platforms. MEP trades followed, but only for communication. Nothing addressed the engineering work itself. Mechanical firms were still using the same methods they'd used for decades.

That was the moment HVAKR started.

Two Cal Poly engineers teamed up with two developers to build the platform they wished existed. One cloud-native tool for load calcs, equipment sizing, duct design, and reporting.
