Company History



Raymond R.. Irwin & Robert E. Farmer Sr.

Farmer & Irwin Corporation is celebrating their 54th year in the Mechanical Construction business. Our success is due to our dedicated and hardworking staff and employees. Farmer & Irwin Corporation was founded in October 1956 by R.E. "Bob" Farmer & R.R. "Dick" Irwin and was built on solid principles, values and strong ethics. This foundation allows us the opportunity to display our broad range of capabilities, experience and dedication in serving our client's needs for their H.V.A.C, Plumbing, and Fire Sprinkler systems. Dick Irwin and Bob Farmer began the transition and turnover of the company in 1997 and completed the sale in 2003.

Farmer & Irwin Corp. entered the new millennium with an operation defined by a history of providing its customers with cost effective mechanical systems, on time to the client's satisfaction.

The current Board of Directors will strive to ensure that your expectations will be met. Please contact the President of Farmer & Irwin Corp. to allow us the opportunity to serve you.

What We Do

 

 

Because of our resources, Farmer & Irwin can provide owners, developers, and general contractors with a full range of services that result in job cost savings such as negotiated budgets, design-build projects, proper planning and value engineering.




Our physical plant has two shops; a duct fabricating shop, and a pipe fabricating shop. We will prefabricate many job components to save us job installation time to keep us on time or ahead of scheduled completion dates.

 



With Farmer & Irwin's team concept of operations, wherein we put together the expertise of our different divisions, from design through installation, we deliver quality workmanship that meets all job requirements.

Upon completion of the job, our Service Division can offer preventative maintenance programs which will keep those systems we have installed to continue functioning properly.

Farmer & Irwin generally maintains a good mix of work in process with about seventy jobs in progress at various stages at any one time. Our projects consist of commercial, institutional, industrial, and multi-family residential projects.

The value of work in progress generally runs fifteen to twenty million dollars, with annual sales in the thirty to forty million dollar range.
