Design

Great mechanical systems – whether it’s plumbing, heating, cooling, ventilation, extraction, building management, medical gases or sprinkler and smoke management – all start with great design which is why our highly experienced, in-house design team is so sought-after.

The hallmarks of great mechanical systems design:

• Carefully considered from the start or from an early stage
• Embedded best mechanical practice eg:
  • Attention to detail, neat, ordered, efficiency in both use of materials and operation.
  • Meeting today’s needs and anticipating future targets.
  • Sustainable from day 1.
  • Rigorous checks and balances, to hold-points, allowing the design process to flow seamlessly towards installation.
  • Employer’s Requirements at RIBA Stages 2 & 3 and/or through to the completion of the detailed design at RIBA Stages 4, 5 & 6.
• Feasible programme:
  • On time
  • On budget
  • Optimising value
  • Mitigating risks
  • With all deliverables delivered with excellence.

Should your bespoke design call for it, we draw upon the specialist expertise of our longstanding partners:

• Building information modelling
• Thermal modelling
• Acoustics
