About Us
Thirty years
in MEP and
building services
consultancy.
We focus on a specific stage in property projects: early-stage MEP questions that arise before full design team appointments.
The questions property professionals ask at acquisition, feasibility, or portfolio level — when you need engineering input to make commercial decisions, but aren't ready for detailed design yet.
That's where we work.

Our Approach
At the stage between "we're exploring this property" and "we've appointed design teams," specific MEP questions arise.
Capital Cost Ranges
Feasibility-grade estimates (±15–20% accuracy) based on SCSI Q1 2025 benchmarks and project-specific analysis. Suitable for board discussions, bank submissions, or reserve setting.
Risk Identification
System condition screening, compliance gaps, utility capacity checks. The MEP factors that affect acquisition pricing, planning timelines, or refurbishment scope.
Compliance Pathways
Part L routes, BER trajectories, fire system requirements, accessibility standards. What's required, what it affects, what it enables.
"Property professionals often have MEP questions at early stages — acquisition, feasibility, portfolio review — when full design appointments are premature. That's the gap we fill."
Why We Exist
After 30 years in MEP consultancy across healthcare, education, commercial, and mission-critical projects, I noticed a recurring pattern: MEP questions that need engineering input, but at a different scope and timing than full RIBA-stage design.
Senior chartered engineer analysis, at the stage when you're still exploring options. Our output becomes the brief for your design team once you're ready for that stage.
Clear scope. Published pricing. Stage-appropriate depth.

Our Services
Engineering input at the stage before full design appointments
We work at a specific stage in property projects: when MEP questions arise, but you're not yet at the point of appointing full design teams.
Typical scenarios: investment committee asks about MEP capex exposure, board wants feasibility direction before committing to design fees, or you need a strategic view across multiple buildings.
We provide engineering analysis at this scope — detailed enough for decision-making, earlier in the timeline than full design appointments. Our AIMEP platform covers 100+ workflows to Irish standards (IS 10101, CIBSE, SEAI). The chartered engineer reviews outputs, applies project-specific judgment, and produces your deliverable.
Published pricing. Clear turnaround. Audit-ready outputs.
