MEP & Building Services

Integrated mechanical, electrical and public‑health engineering consultancy for low‑carbon buildings. We deliver coordinated MEP design from concept through technical design, balancing performance, compliance, and cost to reduce risk across the project.

What MEP engineering means in modern low‑carbon design

MEP today is about integrating mechanical, electrical and public health systems into a single, coordinated low carbon design that reduces operational energy, improves comfort, and meets increasingly demanding regulatory and client expectations.

Who we work with (sectors & project scale):

We support architects, developers, contractors and public‑sector clients delivering complex residential, commercial, education and mixed‑use projects ranging from £1m to £50m+ in construction value.

Our engineering approach (RIBA-aligned):

Developing coordinated design solutions through concept, developed design and technical design, using modelling led decision making and early stage optimisation to reduce risk and cost later in the programme.

Mechanical engineering:

Our mechanical design covers HVAC systems, plant sizing, distribution, ventilation, comfort strategy and low carbon solutions such as heat pumps, all coordinated within the wider MEP design.

Electrical & lighting:

We deliver electrical infrastructure, small power layouts, lighting design, emergency lighting, metering and EV charging strategies that balance efficiency, resilience and user experience.

Public health:

Our public health engineering includes hot and cold water systems, drainage, water efficiency, tank sizing and compliance-driven design that ensures safe, hygienic and robust operation.

Deliverables:

We provide coordinated drawings, schedules, reports, specifications, tender packs and fully integrated BIM/Revit models aligned to RIBA Stage 2–4 requirements.
