A LEGACY OF VISION AND GROWTH Founded in 2001 by Pierre Istead after a 20-year career in the field, Mécanique PCI began with a clear and determined purpose: to successfully complete construction or renovation projects in the field of building mechanics while maintaining the highest standards of quality. The foundation of that success lies in strategic growth, major project experience, and the strength of the team. “Our commitment to accountability and quality earned us a solid reputation,” says Istead. In its early years, Mécanique PCI was largely focused on public sector work, but things shifted over time. “Around year 15, we transitioned more into the private sector, particularly the high-rise sector, which significantly contributed to our growth and expansion.” The younger Istead’s entry into the company brought a new level of entrepreneurial drive. “A significant turning point was the arrival of Pier-Luc Istead, who brought an entrepreneurial spirit and a vision to scale the company,” he says. “Over the last five years, we’ve built a strong team by adding many high-performance individuals, ensuring we’re wellprepared for future challenges and opportunities.” The company's values have been critical to shaping that growth. “We believe in staying grounded, learning from others, and always striving to improve,” Istead says. “We don’t settle for the status quo; we are always looking for new ways to improve and grow.” He points to five core values that guide Mécanique PCI: humility, accountability, integrity and transparency, a quest for self-improvement, and employee well-being. POWERING NATIONAL-SCALE PROJECTS These qualities have been essential on large-scale, technically demanding projects. One recent example is Mécanique PCI’s role in the modernization of the Gatineau Energy Centre, part of the Government of Canada’s Energy Services Acquisition Program 27 JUN 2025 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
