What this service involves

Consultancy is independent technical advice and design for a building project: working out what the building needs, designing it, estimating its cost, preparing the documents contractors price against, and checking the work as it is built.

MEP stands for mechanical, electrical and plumbing: the services that make a building work, such as power, lighting, water, drainage, ventilation, fire protection and communications.

Our integrated approach spans project planning, engineering design, multidisciplinary coordination, procurement support and project management.

Questions this service helps answer

What engineering does the building need, and what will it cost?
Are the designs coordinated across electrical, mechanical, plumbing and ICT services?
How should the work be tendered so contractors are compared fairly?
Is the work being built to the design and tested before handover?
