Mechanical, electrical and water services are designed by one team, in the same Revit model as the architecture. The architect has a single contact for all MEP disciplines, and clashes are solved in the model, not on site.
What we design
Mechanical services
Heating, cooling, ventilation and air conditioning. We choose the system for the building and how it is used, and route ducts and pipes through the model alongside the architecture.
Heat pumps and VRF systems
Ventilation with heat recovery
Domestic hot water
Plant rooms and heat substations
Electrical power
From the grid connection to every luminaire: distribution, supply and protection of the building.
Substations and grid connection
Switchboards and feeders
Interior and exterior lighting
Lightning protection and earthing
Low-voltage systems
The systems that connect and protect the building.
Structured cabling and telecoms
CCTV and access control
Fire detection and alarm
Intercom and public address
Water and drainage
Water into the building and out of it, including the fire hydrant network.
Water supply and sanitary networks
Fire hydrant network
Foul and storm drainage
Booster stations and separators
Coordination in the model
Shared model
We work in Revit, linked to the architectural model. Shafts, ceiling voids and plant rooms are coordinated while the design is still changing.
Clash checks
Ducts, pipes and cable trays are checked against each other and against the structure before the volumes are issued.
What you receive
Main design volumes for mechanical, electrical and water services, with bills of quantities. The model by agreement.
Where we come in
From concept design to building permit. The architect leads the project; we take on all three MEP disciplines.
Concept design
The architect sets out the building. On request we size shafts, plant rooms and roof equipment.
By agreement
Main design
We produce the mechanical, electrical and water services volumes in a shared Revit model with the architecture.
Led by us
Design review
The independent reviewer comments on the design. We respond and update the volumes until the report is positive.
Led by us
Building permit
The client applies with the reviewed main design.
Client or architect
Construction
By agreement, we clarify the design for the contractor and site supervision.
