Design Consultation
We are a relational company grounded in the heart of UK fabrication, with a professional team of flexible and experienced Design Engineers who can implement work on your behalf. We work across multiple disciplines so whatever your project, whether it is Civil, Electrical, Mechanical or Architectural we are able to turn ideas from concepts into full construction drawings.
We take the same approach to all our work, no matter the size of the project, ensuring that we bring the same vision and technical expertise to your designs.
Quite simply, we make life easier for you. Our multidisciplinary Design Engineers will help you to maximise the efficiency of your process systems. Using recognised work flows, such as the RIBA Plan of Work, we structure our design process to integrate seamlessly within the wider project delivery team and the construction industry.
Whether it is an industrial plant or an educational complex, our team are well versed to take up any project and help your organisation stay ahead in implementing CAD & BIM platforms.
As an established AEC consultancy we cover large scale architectural planning through to a wide range of bespoke structural and mechanical solutions. Whether it’s routing underground pipework and ducting on-site, designing the layout of your factory to maximise its efficiency or 3D modelling a brand new building AEC covers it all – and so do we.
With backgrounds across Civil, Mechanical, and Structural Engineering as well as Architecture our team have experience with the following to name a few:
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is quickly becoming the industry standard for construction projects. Not only does it provide a digital representation of a building project, but it also allows for a greater level of collaboration between design teams, architects, engineers and contractors within the design and build environment.
BIM gives us the ability to fully model your building or project to varying levels of detail. Doors, windows, lighting, drainage, HVAC, utilities and facilities can all be designed and drawn so that:
Quite simply, the model-based approach improves the efficiency of your project. Leading to an increase in productivity, a reduction in overall time spent and, as a result, often significant cost savings for your business.
Point Cloud technology allows us to capture a 3D laser scan of anything from a single piece of equipment to an entire building. We use our in house advanced precision imaging Leica Scanner to collect 680 000 points a second from the surfaces of buildings, rooms or objects with every scan to create a pin point accurate model of your space or object. This quick scanning process combines distance measurements and photospheres in a way that minimises disruption on site without compromising on quality.
This technology has a huge variety of applications. A Point Cloud scan can allow you to walk around a visual reconstruction of your building and it allows for a detailed design to exactly match your existing facilities. This data can also be packaged and issued to your suppliers and manufacturers to negate the further need for site surveys.
Our design team elevates initial ideas and concepts into comprehensive, professional technical drawings and BIM models. Whether that is drafting your entire site from scratch or adding specific design details for a new project we have the expertise to carry out the necessary drawings.
Our diverse team are able to provide expertise across a range of construction projects and we are able to offer services including the following:
Over the years we have helped a number of clients by supplying their engineering departments with design engineering support, this caters to your specific requirements whilst remaining flexible.
Whether it’s multiple designers full-time updating records and drawings during a large overhaul, or making sure that the design of the site stays up-to-date part time, our team can fit around you either on site or remotely.
We have a wide range of experience in handling domestic, industrial and commercial properties all over the country, including listed, protected and retrospective applications. We can handle any or all parts of the application for your new or renovated building.
Following on from the initial consultation, the feasibility of your project can be discussed. With years of experience of draughting, submitting planning permission and building control applications, we are perfectly placed to advise you on the practicality of your application and of the likely outcome. Once we have completed a comprehensive site survey, all of the required drawings and documents will be produced to local authority standards and can be submitted on your behalf.
Our design team works with the construction industry’s leading Autodesk CAD and BIM software. Whether your project requires 2D or 3D design our team will be able to work with software that realises the potential of your design, or work with a software that is already your design standard.
