The opportunity to build mechanical contractor experience into the design phase led to the formation of EFP Engineering in 2018 with partners Geno and Curtis.
Geno Pace
Vice President
Starting at the site level, Geno has gained 35+ years of experience. He has progressed through the industry gaining valuable experience on several hundred projects. Geno has spent the past 20+ years in several senior leadership roles with a mechanical contractor. These roles allowed him to influence design at the site level and has been integrated in his role as a plumbing and heating system designer with EFP Engineering.
Geno has a substantial inventory of key skills including; value engineering – resulting in significant cost savings to owners, constructability reviews – minimizing change orders during construction which impact project cost and schedule, and architectural coordination – ensuring spatial requirements are properly coordinated during the design phase. Geno also employs a vast knowledge of the National Plumbing Code of Canada – allowing for optimal application to achieve functional and compliant systems.
Curtis Enman, P.Eng.
Principal Mechanical Engineer
A P.Eng. with over 15 years of mechanical design experience, Curtis founded EFP with Allan and Geno in 2018. In his role as the firm’s Principal Mechanical Engineer he oversees all elements of design and manages our talented design team. Curtis is extremely detailed, particularly in reviewing codes and standards, and effectively coordinates with utilities and Building Officials to ensure compliance. He enjoys working closely with the mechanical trades, supporting them throughout construction and utilizing their feedback to improve subsequent designs.
