Different buildings. The same care and expertise.
Explore our experience, engineering approach and project portfolio across ten sectors.
Every building has its own brief. Our mechanical, electrical, public health and sustainability disciplines work together to help clients turn those requirements into coordinated designs.
Commercial
Workplaces, retail destinations and industrial buildings need services that support the way the business operates. Occupancy, equipment, opening hours and future changes all influence the engineering brief.
02Education
Learning environments bring together classrooms, specialist teaching spaces, shared facilities and places to socialise. The engineering needs to respond to the timetable, the people using each space and the long-term needs of the estate.
03Healthcare
Healthcare buildings must support patients, staff and the everyday delivery of care. Consulting rooms, treatment spaces and shared areas have different requirements, so understanding the clinical and operational brief is an essential starting point.
04Residential
Homes should be comfortable to live in and practical to manage. Building-services decisions need to take account of individual dwellings, shared spaces, differing occupancy patterns and the responsibilities of residents and building operators.
05Sports & leisure
Sports and leisure spaces can move quickly between quiet periods and peak demand. The engineering brief needs to consider visitors, participants, staff and the different activities within the building or wider site.
06Aviation
Airport environments combine passenger facilities, operational buildings and supporting infrastructure. Each project requires a clear understanding of how the proposed work fits into the wider airport operation.
07Public sector
Public buildings serve a wide range of people and activities. Their engineering should support clear operational priorities, accessible facilities and an approach to energy and maintenance that works for the organisation responsible for them.
08Arts & culture
Cultural buildings must accommodate audiences, performers, collections and staff. Different uses can place competing demands on lighting, environmental conditions, acoustics and the space available for services.
09Heritage
Work within a historic building begins with understanding what is already there. Introducing or renewing services requires close coordination with the architectural and conservation approach, together with the needs of the building’s users.
10Hotels
Hotels combine guest accommodation with public areas and the spaces needed to run the building. Bedrooms, kitchens, restaurants and meeting spaces can have very different demands throughout the day.
