OUR SERVICES
We deliver innovative solutions aligned with client goals, ensuring quality and efficiency at every stage.
Integrated Environmental Building Services Engineering
Building services engineering consultancy proposals often present a division of service. On one side, traditional mechanical and electrical (M&E) engineering; on the other, a collection of specialised ‘sub-services’, such as overheating assessments, daylighting analysis, energy advice, and thermal fabric guidance.
We view these not as separate offerings but as essential steps in a unified approach to integrated environmental design.
Rather than division and optional ‘specialism’, we seamlessly integrate our design process as standard practice.
Passive design strategies, climate responsiveness, energy performance, and occupant comfort and well-being are not optional add-ons to our work, they form the very heart of our design decisions. We work within a holistic design philosophy that leads to better buildings and better user experiences.
Our engineers are trained to weave these considerations naturally into design solutions. We are performance-led from the outset. We are system-thinkers. We integrate to produce buildings that are more efficient, resilient, and comfortable.
Lighting
Lighting design affects how a space functions and how people perceive and enjoy space. We aim for solutions that are efficient, visually comfortable and well-integrated with the architecture.
In recent projects, we have applied daylight management systems and circadian-aware lighting to support wellbeing and usability. Whether improving task lighting in workspaces or creating interest and atmosphere in public areas, we see lighting design as an essential part of wider environmental performance. It helps us reduce carbon impacts without sacrificing atmospheric quality or user experience.
Our lighting designs, developed in close collaboration with architects enhance atmosphere, wellbeing, and performance while supporting measurable reductions in energy use.
Smart Buildings
Smart building design forms the basis for improved performance, user satisfaction, and long-term flexibility. Instead of bolting on digital features at the end of the design process, we treat technology as part of the building’s foundation. This involves integrating data infrastructure, intelligent controls, and digital strategies from the earliest stages of design.
By planning smart systems early, we help clients connect technology with clear outcomes.
Whether it's improving energy efficiency, enabling predictive maintenance, or supporting environmental goals, our aim is to ensure these systems are not just reliable, but genuinely useful in everyday operation.
Our smart systems empower clients with actionable insights into building performance, energy use, and occupant behaviour. This leads to buildings that can adjust intelligently to changing use patterns, evolving needs, and varying environments.
Benchmarking
We provide comprehensive benchmarking services to help clients evaluate and improve the sustainability and wellbeing outcomes of their buildings.
Our team of accredited specialists carries out detailed BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) and WELL Building Standard assessments, guiding clients from initial feasibility and pre-assessment through to certification.
Benchmarking can identify holistic opportunities for improved energy efficiency, health, comfort, and operational performance. Whether you are pursuing formal certification or seeking to understand your asset’s current standing, our benchmarking service can help you meet the highest standards of environmental responsibility and occupant wellbeing.
Strategic Advice
Strategic input connects a client’s vision with practical delivery. From initial briefings through to post-occupancy reviews, we offer advice that supports confident, informed decision-making at every stage.
We help clients balance priorities such as budget, compliance, and environmental targets, while keeping long-term value in focus. Our role is to ensure environmental goals and commercial drivers are not treated in isolation but addressed through a joined-up, realistic approach.
Whether at inception or through full delivery, our involvement ensures strategic continuity, clarity of decision-making, and robust performance assurance at building handover.
Whole Life Carbon
The greatest share of a new development’s total carbon emissions come from the production, transport, construction, maintenance, and eventual demolition of building materials. These lifecycle stages collectively make up whole life carbon.
We provide a specialist consultancy service to help clients understand, measure, and reduce the carbon footprint of their buildings from cradle to grave. Our team conducts detailed whole life carbon assessments in line with recognised standards, quantifying emissions associated with material extraction, manufacturing, transport, construction, maintenance, and end-of-life processes.
Our embodied carbon advice helps clients identify carbon hotspots, explore low-carbon alternatives, and align projects with net-zero trajectories. This understanding supports strategic decisions that align with BREEAM, LETI, LEIP 3 and RIBA 2030 targets.
