The Team (MEP)
The team specialises in the delivery of building services, energy and sustainability services. We deliver M&E engineering design solutions from initial feasibility stages through detailed design and on to construction, handover and post–occupancy.
They offer a fresh approach to M&E, getting involved early, working collaboratively with the design team, highlighting options, guiding design development and using their expertise to help clients make key decisions an approach that always results in a building that delivers. Their solutions are tailored to the client with the simplicity of design often key, but with the ability to deliver bespoke highly technical solutions if required.
They work across all sectors, including commercial, industrial, leisure, retail, manufacturing, logistics, heritage, and residential for end–user clients, investors, developers, architects, project managers or engineer–led project teams. This diversity of workstreams, and the fact that all of their team members work across every sector, means they are constantly cross–pollinating ideas.
