Projects

Areas of expertise

Mechanical, Electrical and Public Health Design (MEP)

We have vast experience in providing a complete design service to include procurement and project management of M&E plant replacement. We have undertaken a vast array of plant replacement projects of varying complexity in operating buildings ensuring no loss of services and minimal inconvenience to the occupiers. Our projects in this area include the replacement/upgrade of all major items of building plant as well as the replacement of key elements of mechanical and electrical infrastructure.


Feasibility Studies

Prior to engaging into major complex project works, we recommend that clients consider instructing an initial  feasibility study. We approach each feasibility study in a measured way, considering the current installation and design set up to make an assessment of the installed systems. We undertake detailed site surveys and co-ordinate the input of other specialists and professionals as necessary. Our feasibility reports give clear recommendations of the options available, including accurate budget costs.

Design Review - Pre Construction Advice

Design review has been developed to help establish the owners/designers wishes in the long term by incorporating as many practical management features, which are appropriate and affordable at an early stage. It is not intended to propose fundamental changes to the architectural vision of a development or to recommend expensive additional investment by the client. By receiving drawings and specifications at an early stage, we are able to offer comment and advice in a constructive manner. Our aim is to compliment and realise the owners and designers vision in the long term by recommending practical management features as appropriate to minimise service charge expenditure once buildings have reached practical completion. It is imperative that the design of commercial buildings seek to have features that will minimise future maintenance costs pertaining to the core building services contracts.

Our review would typically include all aspects of property management such as service charge optimisation, manned and electronic security, management accommodation, access movement and storage, fabric and cleaning, mechanical, electrical and public health, lifts and vertical transportation, utility supply/metering and energy efficiency/sustainability.
