About Our Mechanical Engineering Services Team
Design and engineering of building systems — new and existing
RoMar is a mechanical consulting engineering firm operating out of Durham Region with projects stretching across the GTA and much of Ontario. The company is owned and operated by two female professional engineers — Jolanta McKay and Margaret Edwards. Together, they have a combined 40 years of experience working in the building services industry.
RoMar’s work involves the design of mechanical systems including HVAC, plumbing and fire protection systems for new and existing buildings. RoMar offers a full range of engineering services including design, construction administration, energy audits, commissioning, re-commissioning, energy modeling and prime consultant/project management. We have performed work in the industrial, commercial, healthcare, institutional, and multi-residential sectors. We have considerable experience in existing buildings where retrofits are required to bring the building up to date and provide energy savings for our clients.
RoMar considers the mechanical engineer a vital member of the design and construction team; and we enjoy being a part of that team.
The company has been serving the building industry since 2000 and has earned a reputation for unique and personalized designs and services.

Margaret Edwards, P. Eng.
Margaret has conducted ASHRAE energy and decarbonization audits, helping clients identify opportunities for improved efficiency and long-term sustainability. She has served as a primary consultant and project manager on a wide range of commercial and institutional projects, including large equipment replacements, parking garage retrofits, boiler plant upgrades, and cooling tower replacements.
Earlier in her career, Margaret worked for an HVAC equipment manufacturer, gaining in-depth knowledge of systems such as chillers and rooftop units. She also received specialized training in mechanical control systems through her work in building automation technical sales.
Driven by a passion for thoughtful design and meaningful client relationships, Margaret is dedicated to delivering solutions that serve both the building and the people who rely on it—today and into the future.
Jolanta Mckay, P. Eng., CBCP
