Services
Our team of Mechanical, Electrical and Public Health engineers work together to offer the full range of design and consultancy services from surveys and feasibility studies through to detailed design. We work on existing and new build projects of all sizes delivering sustainable, affordable, well-designed building services across a variety of sectors.
Our engineers bring broad-ranging knowledge and experience of conventional solutions, as well as fresh thinking on alternative solutions to servicing requirements to provide comfortable, functional environments. We follow the latest CIBSE, BSRIA, British Standards, and Building Regulations guidance and best practices.
We have a wealth of experience in both the consultancy and contracting fields. This enables us to not only produce a design that works on paper, but more importantly produce a design that is buildable too. We are therefore able to provide valuable input on pre-designed projects including design validation works. We can support projects from the inception of schemes through to the detailed design stages.
The services we offer are competitive and tailored to each client and typically may include:
■ Feasibility Studies
■ Condition Surveys
■ Energy and Environmental Studies
■ Whole Life Sustainability Analysis Reports of Renewable Energy Proposals
■ Full Design, Specification, and preparation of Tender Documents
■ Performance Specifications
■ Monitoring of Installation and Commissioning Works
■ 2D & 3D CAD Coordination and MEP Building Services layouts
■ Remedial, Investigative, & Improvement Works
