ABOUT US
Chartered Building Services Engineering Practice
Having many years experience in building services engineering, project and financial management, we offer clients comprehensive multidisciplinary support and design service across the range of mechanical, electrical and ancillary building services engineering within the built environment, from design concept through to contract completion.
We provide acoustic design, analysis and problem-solving for building services, including; AV systems and speech reinforcement, environmental, building and industrial acoustics.
"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 own design post-mortems 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.
