How we work

Design to commissioning, one accountable contract

01
Design
Heat loss and load calculations, system selection, plant room layout and coordination with the architect and structural team.
02
Specification
Equipment selection, schematics, pipework and duct routing, and a costed mechanical package.
03
Installation
First fix through second fix by our own engineers, sequenced with the main contractor's programme.
04
Commissioning
Balancing, flow rates, controls setup, F-Gas checks and performance verification across every system.
05
Handover & Support
O&M documentation, client demonstration, and ongoing servicing and maintenance.
