Services
M&E Design
We provide comprehensive mechanical and electrical building services design, including system coordination and supervision. Our approach integrates energy efficiency and regulatory compliance from concept to completion. Services cover ventilation, air conditioning, fire safety, and electrical installations for new builds and renovations.
Sustainability Advice
Our sustainability consultancy focuses on minimising environmental impact through low-carbon technologies and thermal optimisation. We conduct dynamic simulation modelling to assess energy consumption and carbon emissions, ensuring buildings utilise natural elements effectively while maintaining occupant comfort and regulatory compliance.
Thermal Modelling
Using advanced simulation tools, we analyse building thermal performance considering climate and usage patterns. This service optimises faade design and plant sizing to create energy-efficient spaces, supporting Part L compliance and overheating risk assessments for commercial and residential developments.
Energy Certificates
We deliver Energy Performance Certificates and SBEM calculations for commercial buildings, conducted by CIBSE-certified Low Carbon Energy Assessors. Our services cover 'As Designed' and 'As Built' compliance assessments, ensuring adherence to Part L building regulations and sustainability targets.
Project Management
We offer end-to-end project management from concept design to construction supervision. Our services include budget cost estimation, contractor proposal reviews, and post-construction optimisation studies, ensuring seamless delivery of mechanical and electrical systems across diverse building types.
