To date, MK2 Engineers has designed over 700 projects throughout California. With its core of professional engineers and senior designers the firm is able to offer a wide variety of expertise and experience.

Locally, MK2 has provided engineering services for Niebaum-Coppola Estate Vineyard and Winery, Ravenswood Winery, Palmaz Family Winery, Napa River Inn, The Hatt Market, Angele Restaurant, The French Laundry, the Napa County Office of Education and Oxbow School.  

MK2 Engineers is in the forefront of a growing technology, using the latest techniques to offer solutions for solving your engineering problems.

COMMITMENT
Each of our employees and members of our Teams of Consultants are selected because of their passion to do excellent professional architecture and engineering services and their commitment to superb customer service and perform the services in a timely manner.

The firm's practice is to focus project teams in such a manner to ensure continuity of essential staff and personal involvement with the needs of our clients.

“One of the keys to our success is doing everything possible to ensure the success of our clients.”

DEPTH OF PERSONNEL
Each member of our staff has distinct strengths and special abilities. Our commitment to on-going professional development training ensures an understanding of the latest technical and code requirements and new techniques and systems to save energy and life cycle costs and enhance the experience of the occupants of the building.

STRATEGIC FOCUS - TEAMWORK
Teamwork is an intrinsic part of daily operations, as well as a commitment to quality and excellence. While individual efforts are always encouraged and supported, MK2 has found that the results of a Team effort are often far better than the sum of its parts.

Each Project requires specialized technical experience and we assemble a specific Team from which we can draw the expertise required to deliver the best solutions for our Client.

Most often the lead Architects and Engineers on our Team have worked together on many projects.

The personnel assigned to each project have extensive design, analysis, and communications capability.

“Communications is the key to excellent Teamwork.”

QUALITY CONTROL
MK2 has a record of excellent performance in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules. As a matter of policy, the construction cost for all projects is estimated before proceeding with the design and a detailed scope of work. This initial effort helps to determine a realistic construction budget and an appropriate period of service for design.

“Every project we ask, how can we do this better?”

TECHNOLOGY CAPABILITIES
MK2 has used AutoCAD as the primary engineering document software over 20 years. We use state of the art software for Design, 3D, office systems, customer relationships, resource planning, Project Administration, accounting and financial management. We utilize in house high speed plotters and an FTP site for transfer of large drawing files to consultants, contractors, and clients.

EXPERTISE
In addition to conventional HVAC, plumbing, electrical and fire protection, MK2 offers a wide range of additional services including project management, energy conservation, feasibility studies, regulatory agency approval and construction management.

Latest Project in Yountville, CA
28 February, 2013


 

 

Location: Yountville, California
Sector: Restaurant / Historical

Square Footage: ≈ 4,178 SF - Kitchen & Dining Room ≈ 973 SF - Office & Wine Cellar 
Year Completed: In Progress

Project Description:

The French Laundry is located in the heart of the Napa Valley in the picturesque City of Yountville. Uncompromised quality, lack of space and preservation of tranquility of the restaurant and its garden made the expansion of the kitchen, updating the restaurant HVAC system and new office building a unique challenge.

We used a geo-loop heat exchanger to provide pre-cooling for kitchen make-up units and to serve dining room heat pumps. The design covered HVAC, plumbing and fire protection. MK2 Engineers closely assisted in construction administration.

Our expertise in historical building renovation and innovative design solutions was essential in incorporating state of the art technology to serve the expended facility.
