Building Services & M&E Engineering

Precision Engineering
for the Built Environment

From complex healthcare fit-outs to commercial new builds, we deliver MEP design and specification across all RIBA stages.

MEP Design & Specification

We deliver full mechanical, electrical, and public health design from RIBA Stage 2 concept through to Stage 5 construction documentation. Our designs are coordinated with architectural and structural teams from the outset, minimising clashes and ensuring buildability.

Every project receives performance specifications, detailed equipment schedules, and construction-ready documentation that contractors can price and build from. We work across sectors including healthcare, education, commercial offices, laboratories, and residential developments.

Our approach prioritises energy efficiency and future adaptability, ensuring buildings perform well throughout their operational life — not just on handover day.

Key Deliverables

  • Schematic designs
  • Detailed design drawings
  • Equipment specifications
  • Load calculations
  • Design risk assessments

Retrofit & Refurbishment Engineering

Existing buildings present unique challenges. We survey current M&E systems, identify end-of-life plant, and design like-for-like or upgraded replacements that integrate with retained infrastructure.

Our retrofit projects are designed for occupied buildings, with phased installation strategies that minimise disruption. We understand the constraints of working in live environments and design accordingly.

Energy efficiency improvements are integrated into every retrofit scope — not as an afterthought, but as a core design driver. Better-performing systems reduce operating costs and help meet tightening EPC requirements.

Common Triggers

  • End-of-life plant
  • Lease events
  • EPC compliance (MEES)
  • Insurance requirements

BIM Coordination & Clash Detection

We deliver BIM Level 2 compliant MEP modelling as standard. Our models are developed to the appropriate LOD for each project stage and coordinated with architectural and structural disciplines through federated model reviews.

Clash detection and resolution is carried out systematically, with issues tracked, prioritised, and closed out before they become site problems. We provide COBie data drops for asset management and facilities handover.

Our team models in Revit and coordinates through Navisworks and BIM 360, integrating seamlessly with the wider project team's workflows.

Commissioning & Handover Support

A building only performs as well as its commissioning allows. We provide commissioning management, witness testing, and quality assurance to ensure systems operate as designed.

Our handover documentation includes O&M manual compilation and building log book preparation, giving facilities teams the information they need to operate and maintain systems effectively.

We follow BSRIA BG 6 compliant commissioning processes and provide post-occupancy support including seasonal commissioning to optimise performance through the first year of operation.
