MECHANICAL BUILDING ENGINEERING

Better engineering.
Better buildings.

We help contractors, consultants and building owners understand, design and improve mechanical building systems.

SUPPLY & EXTRACT VENTILATIONFIG. 01
Mechanical supply and extract ventilationOutdoor air flows through a filter, heating or cooling coil and supply fan into an occupied space. A separate extract duct takes air from the space through an extract fan and discharges it outdoors. Arrows indicate airflow. No recirculation or heat recovery is shown. Controls, dampers, plant connections and project-specific safety provisions are omitted.OUTDOOR AIRSUPPLY AIR HANDLING UNITFILTERCOILFANSUPPLYOCCUPIEDSPACEEXTRACTEXTRACT FANEXHAUSTTO OUTSIDECOIL: HEATING / COOLING AS REQUIRED

01 / OUR APPROACH

Clarity at every stage.

Good engineering starts with understanding the problem. We stay useful from the first investigation to the final handover.

01

Understand.

Establish the evidence.

Surveys · Investigations · Asset information
02

Engineer.

Develop the right solution.

Calculations · Design · Specifications
03

Deliver.

Make the design work on site.

Technical support · Commissioning · Handover

03 / WHO WE WORK WITH

Where do you need us?

04 / DISCIPLINE THAT TRANSFERS

Rigorous thinking.
Practical engineering.

Our approach is shaped by professional experience in technically demanding mechanical and HVAC engineering environments.

Clear requirements. Traceable calculations. Coordinated information. We bring that discipline to each commission, proportionate to its scale and complexity.

05 / ENGINEERING NOTES

Useful thinking.
Better decisions.

All insights
FIELDNOTE / 01Evidence.EXISTING BUILDINGS

What should an HVAC condition survey include?

A useful survey should lead to a decision, with clear evidence, limitations and priorities.

FIELDNOTE / 02Information.CONTRACTOR SUPPORT

What mechanical design information do contractors need before installation?

A drawing is only part of the package. Establish duties, interfaces and decisions before work starts.
