This is what most compliance providers cannot do. Real engineering capability means a recommendation can become a specification, a specification can become installed plant, and someone competent is accountable for the result on site.
M&E and HVAC system design
Full mechanical and electrical design for retrofit and refurbishment — sized to how the building actually operates, not to a worst-case assumption that leaves you running oversized, inefficient plant for the next twenty years.
- Mechanical and electrical system design
- HVAC design and controls strategy
- Load assessment based on measured data
- Coordination with base-build and fit-out
Plant replacement & specification
Ageing plant is where compliance risk, energy cost and tenant complaints usually converge. We specify replacements that meet the standard, fit the plantroom and can actually be maintained.
- Plant condition survey and lifecycle review
- Replacement specification and sizing
- Tender documentation and evaluation
- Controls and BMS integration
Low-carbon heat & renewables
Heat decarbonisation is the hardest part of most retrofit programmes. We design heat pump, hybrid and renewable solutions that work with the building’s fabric and its occupiers’ operating pattern.
- Heat pump and hybrid system design
- Solar PV feasibility and design
- Electrical capacity and infrastructure review
- Phasing to avoid tenant disruption
Technical project management
Design that nobody manages on site becomes design that gets value-engineered away. We procure and coordinate contractors, hold them to the specification, and verify what was actually installed.
- Contractor procurement and coordination
- Programme and cost management
- Site inspection and quality assurance
- Commissioning oversight and handover
Deliverables
Design package
Drawings, specifications and calculations sufficient to tender and build, coordinated across disciplines.
Tender & procurement support
Documentation, contractor evaluation and recommendation — so you buy on equivalent terms, not on headline price.
Verified completion
Commissioning oversight and post-installation verification confirming the works deliver what the design promised.
What owners usually ask
Yes. We specify on merit and procure competitively on your behalf. We do not take supplier commissions. [ Confirm this reflects your commercial arrangements. ]
Yes — we frequently work alongside an owner's existing project or asset management team, taking the technical scope only.
Phasing is designed around occupier operating patterns from the outset, and where possible works are sequenced through plant shutdown windows and out-of-hours periods.
