About Building Services
We project manage the design, build and installation of sustainable-led MEP services every building needs to operate safely and comfortably.
This includes heating, ventilation and air conditioning; gas, electricity and renewable power supplies; water, drainage and plumbing; lighting; energy management systems; refrigeration; acoustics; and, communications, security and safety systems.
Our focus of attention is always the people who will be using the building.
For example, for the education facilities we deliver, we question how and when each room will be used throughout the day by students and staff and which subjects are being studied.
If it is a hospital, we know services are always in use and there can be no loss of critical power whether that be access doors to reception areas, on wards or in theatres.
With this in mind, our involvement starts at the concept stage, shaping the designs through BIM to make buildings that are not only operational, efficient, comfortable and safe but bespoke to the end user.
We have an extensive record project managing some of the most complex new build and retrofit schemes, calling on our ability to work considerately in live environments and knowledge of how to operate in crowded but limited access sites.
List of Services
Concept
The earlier our involvement in a project, the more value we can add to help with value engineering.
We also draw upon the expertise of our other divisions such as G&H Engineering Services and G&H Air Conditioning to provide a full service solution.
Feasibility
After concept, we undertake detailed feasibility into the mechanical and electrical, sustainable and pre-fabricated options.
This is formally presented with cost advice to aid client decision making.
Cost analysis
We provide detailed fee support and analysis, citing nearly a quarter of a century of project delivery cost data.
Specification
Detailed specifications and contractor proposals are presented with the most appropriate plant, equipment and systems proposed for each scheme.
Design
Our fully qualified in-house design engineers cover all aspects of Building Services with BIM at the forefront.
This enables the design team to save time and money while ensuring any conflicting approaches by different parties can be ironed out during the pre-construction period.
Performance and compliance
We are able to provide Building Regulations and planning compliance within our design work.
Using our extensive experience, we can add considerable value to schemes by analysing the enhanced performance of projects to deliver long-term savings.
Installation
We excel at high quality delivery on-site.
Our directly employed team of engineers install to the highest defect-free standards.
All work undergoes rigorous, multi-layered scrutiny by our Quality Control department before handover for increased efficiency and client visibility.
