Aaron has seen Rocky Point grow and evolve considerably – when he joined, they were a team of 10 between two offices, now they’re a team of 90 between seven offices. He’s also seen the company continuously strive to improve and enhance their customer care and to add new capabilities to their service offering. “We’ve strived to maintain a leadershipposition inall aspects of our business,” he explains. “This includes our technical designs, business operational systems, client relationships, community involvement, and employee relationships and policies.” Today, Rocky Point’s services include the design of mechanical heating, ventilation and air conditioning, plumbing and fire protection systems for innovative projects throughout British Columbia and beyond. They also include energy modelling and auditing services as well as green building consulting. The company also get involved with the testing, balancing, commissioning and building optimization services for both new and existing buildings for their varied clients, who range from residential home owners to developers, large public institutions, school districts, and health care. The company’s projects also vary greatly in terms of size and value. According toAaron, they’ll do jobs that “take a couple of hours,” like designing a sewage pump for a custom home, to multimillion projects that span years – projects such as the Nanaimo Airport Expansion, the large-scale seismic upgrade of the GP Vanier Secondary School in Courtenay, and the brand new Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver. Aaron says that those kinds of clients largely choose Rocky Point Engineering because of their previously-mentioned “hands-on approach” and access to the company’s leadership team. At the same time, he also credits the costefficiency of their engineering solutions. He credits that efficiency, in turn, to the rest of MARCH 2022 Nanaimo Airport Stage 1 / office of mcfarlane biggar architects + designers & Checkwitch Poiron Architects Inc.
