Our approach
In our designs we endeavour to provide better quality with an imaginative approach that includes:
Low Visual Impact
The appearance of some buildings, both internally and externally, have been compromised by unattractive M&E systems, which are insufficiently concealed. We aim to reduce, or “soften”, the visual impact of our systems by integrating them with the building architecture. In the absence of suitable “hidden” solutions we specify systems with attention given to pleasing appearance and quality finishes.
Sustainable & Natural Solutions
Our designs have a strong committment to sustainability. Natural solutions can give greater comfort, reduce the impact upon external environment and reduce capital cost: For example on most projects we analyse natural ventilation solutions to avoid the use of mechanical ventilation, and investigate suitable lighting controls, making better use of daylight to reduce CO2 emissions and running costs.
Value For Money
Where reductions in operating cost can be achieved, we can normally undertake simple payback analysis or net present value calculations to see if the associated capital expenditure can
be justified.
Aftercare
We aim to design systems that are easy to understand and operate in order that they can be simply and safely controlled and maintained. In this way we aim to reduce the time necessary for our clients to refer to operation & maintenance records.
