Experience before the name

Stephen G. Blume’s mechanical contracting background includes 25 years leading BCH Mechanical and affiliated companies before their sale to TECO Energy in 2000. That experience is part of the foundation on which the next company was built.

Blume Mechanical, founded in 2005

Stephen G. Blume and Jennifer Leavengood founded Blume Mechanical in 2005. The company’s stated values—honesty, integrity and a forward-thinking approach—shape its relationships with customers, employees and industry partners.

Healthcare at the core

Blume specializes in the complete design management of HVAC and plumbing systems for healthcare facilities in Central Florida. That focus connects the requirements of demanding buildings with practical mechanical coordination and construction.

Connected expertise, from planning to the field

Engineering/CAD, estimating, sheet metal fabrication, HVAC, plumbing, piping and project management work alongside safety and operational support. The link between those departments carries information from early scope and budget decisions through fabrication, installation and closeout.

A business built through its people

Employees brought experience from Stephen’s earlier company into Blume. A commitment to promoting from within and supporting educational opportunities helps that knowledge continue through the team.

Relationships that extend beyond the work

Blume’s community history includes Stephen Blume and Jennifer Leavengood’s contribution to the USF Health ALS Clinic. The project and the people around it are part of a longer commitment to Central Florida’s healthcare community.

Our guiding principle

“Integrity is the seed for achievement. It is the principle that never fails.”
