This month, much of our focus has been on the detailed M&E design for an extension for a mosque, a complex project that brings together engineering, coordination, and a high level of precision. Designing for unpredictability is one of the engineering challenges we’re navigating on this project. Here is how it’s going so far.

Legionella is a hidden but serious health hazard that thrives when conditions are just right - or rather, when they are wrong. It’s a persistent yet preventable risk within plumbing and building services systems that we as M&E engineers need to manage. We take this responsibility for safety seriously, ensuring that every water system we design is focused on efficiency and prevention. Legionella control starts at the first stage, not as an afterthought once systems are install

When we think about building efficiency and performance, insulation and heating often are the focus. But lighting plays an important role. From the comfort and safety of building occupants to compliance with regulatory standards, the way lighting systems are designed and installed can have a long-lasting impact. We specialise in delivering lighting solutions that combine safety, sustainability, and efficiency.

When designing or upgrading a dental office, one of the most important considerations is ventilation. Dental surgeries require carefully designed systems that prioritise infection control, comfort, and compliance with regulations.

We’re pleased to share that we have been awarded the project for the refurbishment and upgrade of St Andrew's C of E Primary School. This project involves modernising the school’s systems to meet BB101 current standard for ventilation, thermal comfort, and indoor air quality in schools.

Installing EV chargers requires careful consideration of both infrastructure demands and financial viability. The type and number of chargers, whether slow, fast, or rapid, not only determine the level of convenience for users but also directly influence the scale of the required electrical infrastructure.

Reducing the energy consumption of buildings such as homes, offices, schools and shops requires more than just upgrading insulation or installing renewable energy systems. One of the most important and often overlooked aspects of energy efficiency is how people use energy in the first place.

We have been working on a preparatory school in Manchester, carrying out a survey and condition report on the mechanical HVAC and electrical small power and lighting systems, including all heating, ventilation, air conditioning, distribution boards, and other electrical circuits within the school, along with the condition of the boiler, radiators, and related equipment.

We carried out an Expert Survey and report on faulty and substandard workmanship for a new detached house in Manchester. The entire M&E installation revealed numerous errors, omissions, and deviations from manufacturers’ recommendations, including undersized air source heat pumps, incorrect cable sizing for switched socket outlets that do not comply with BS7671 Wiring Regulations, and installation of faulty and undersized underfloor heating.
