With decades of experience in building services engineering, project and financial management, we are able to offer our clients comprehensive multidisciplinary support and design service across mechanical, electrical and ancillary building services engineering within the built environment, from design through to completion.
"Our design philosophy is one of integration, complementing the built environment, its aesthetics and other design goals by working in partnership with the client design team to create appropriate and holistic solutions"
This philosophy is supported in the design stage by timely and high-quality input which is then followed through by consultants walkabouts during installation.
Having early involvement during the design stage, we believe, is crucial to the success of any project, particularly with respect to energy use, and after completion, our design assessments feed into a process of continuous improvement with the aim to increase customer satisfaction.
Our commitment to high service standards is the same for each project irrespective of size.
