Fewer subs, more engineers
Engineering, programming, service, and commissioning under one roof. We'd rather send a technician who has been in your building before than one who has read about it.
Our Story
Founded by three controls engineers in Chelmsford, Massachusetts.
FMC has been designing, installing, and supporting building automation systems across New England and beyond since 1997. Same company, same phone number, same engineers who show up when something needs a second look.
Since 1997
One company, one phone number.
- 1997
FMC is founded in Chelmsford, MA. The first jobs are one-building BMS installs for Eastern Mass. owners who wanted their controls contractor to actually pick up the phone.
- 2000s
Word gets around the Boston property-management circuit. FMC grows into a multi-trade shop, with engineers, techs, service, and programming in-house, serving commercial, municipal, and higher-ed buildings across Greater Boston.
- 2010s
The work gets harder and more connected. IP-based controls, remote monitoring, and cloud dashboards become part of standard delivery. We invest in graphics, integration, and remote commissioning so our techs can fix things before a client has to call.
- 2026
FMC introduces BuildingPulse: the real-time monitoring and energy-visibility work we've been doing all along, packaged into something easier to buy, easier to explain, and easier to live with after the install is done.
- Today
200+ commercial, municipal, and institutional buildings across New England and beyond. National accounts for several retail and life-sciences clients. Still headquartered in Chelmsford.
How We Work
The unglamorous parts of running a building, done well.
Design, install, and quietly take care of the control systems that run a building's HVAC, lighting, and mechanical plant. These are the parts most people never think about until something goes wrong. Our measure of success is whether the phone stays quiet.
Fewer promises, more paper
Sequences written down, points documented, changes logged. Over time, that's the part clients tell us they value most.
Buildings that work the way they were supposed to
Comfort nobody thinks about, bills nobody dreads, and a control system the next engineer can pick up without a translator.
Put a face to the phone number.
A walkthrough with an FMC engineer takes about an hour. You'll leave with a candid read on your systems, and where the savings are hiding.
