Building Services Engineering
Discipline Building Services Engineering
Integrated Approach
Our Building Services Division was formed in 2003 from the design wing of a mechanical and electrical contracting company – this first-hand experience of services contracting gives us a unique perspective and ‘hands-on’ knowledge seldom found within traditional consultancies.
We lead with an integrated approach which enables us to deliver engineering design solutions without compromising your vision and goals for your project requirements.
We collaborate closely with architects and the wider design team to transform conceptual ideas into real, functional, and buildable engineering solutions that meet the clients’ requirements. Our commitment to your project means we provide complete, fully engineered and coordinated drawings and specifications. This thorough approach eliminates surprises during construction, giving you confidence that what is drawn is what will be installed.
A key part of our design process is extensive use of 3D computer modelling and simulation for both mechanical and electrical services. Dynamic Thermal Modelling allows the comparison of multiple design options to provide the optimum solution; balancing capital costs, occupant comfort, carbon emissions and energy costs. Fully rendered 3D models can be created to visualise daylight and proposed artificial lighting effects. Such simulations enable us to provide Clients with the information they need to make informed decisions regarding the building’s life-cycle performance

Mechanical & Electrical Design Services
We provide MEP design services for end user clients, main contractors and MEP Subcontractors. Our scope extends from feasibility through to the production of detailed coordinated working drawings and as-installed information.
Our team of high experienced engineers and technicians supported by the latest hardware and software operate across the full range of MEP services and building sector types including education, healthcare, offices, industrial and large-scale residential.
Whilst we still work in 2D where clients require it we have fully embedded BIM into our processes and utilise it to enhance the design process both internally and within the wider design team. We have extensive experience of working in a BIM Level 2 environment and are fully conversant with all the major CDEs including 4 Projects, Aconex etc. and with COBIE schedule linking and embedding.

We have significant experience of low energy & low carbon design with multiple projects achieving BREEAM Excellent, Passivhaus and WELL Platinum.
To support your designs we can provide a wide range of Thermal Modelling and Sustainability advice utilising the IES Virtual Environment Building Simulation suite of software. All technical modelling and reporting is produced in house by our Chartered Engineers with CIBSE Low Carbon Energy Assessor certification.
The IES Virtual Environment Building Simulation software enables highly detailed 3D models of a proposed building to be built and then subjected to a simulation of the environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, wind and sun) it may encounter throughout a year.
The results of thermal modelling can be utilised for:
• Part L Reports and EPCs
• Comfort Assessments
• Daylighting and Artificial Lighting
• MEP Solution Optimisation
• Energy/CO2 Conservation and Sustainability Advice
