Our Building Services Engineering team deliver efficient, resilient and comfortable buildings through our building advisory, mechanical and electrical services. Combining development experience, building science expertise and practical engineering design, we consider projects across their full lifecycle, delivering solutions refined through design, procurement, construction and operation.

Building Services Engineering

Our expertise in building science modelling shapes how we design. Rather than relying on traditional industry norms, we use analysis and simulation to optimise outcomes that align with project priorities. Our delivery approach focuses on what matters most to our clients: occupant comfort, energy efficiency, climate resilience, operational simplicity, construction program, or budget.

Drawing on our interdisciplinary expertise, our goal is not to prescribe a single strategy for every project, but to build capability that supports our clients — whatever their ambition. 

We proudly challenge convention where it brings value, enabling buildings that deliver for people, planet and prosperity.

Our Building Services Advisory operate at the intersection of sustainability, engineering and commercial strategy.

By embedding sound strategy early, we help project teams make informed and strategic decisions that drive better, more meaningful outcomes without compromising performance, buildability or cost.

Drawing on engineering infrastructure expertise, local authority knowledge and extensive project delivery experience, we identify risks, opportunities
and constraints early in the process.

We bring an agile and informed perspective to question conventional assumptions and work closely with clients to develop practical strategies that respond to project priorities and deliver stronger outcomes.

Our mechanical engineering delivery is grounded in building physics and a commitment to systems that are effective, efficient and reliable, supporting the building's use, rather than detracting from it.

By modelling thermal comfort, airflow and energy use from the outset, we help project teams make informed choices that minimise plant sizing, reduce running costs and support healthier indoor environments. This early insight prevents unnecessary complexity that often increases capital expenditure and operating expenditure.

Drawing on experience from delivering and tuning our own projects, our designs are informed by real-world system performance. This perspective provides confidence that solutions will function effectively, remain reliable during extreme weather events, streamline commissioning, reduce defects and deliver consistent performance throughout a building's life cycle.

Our electrical engineering expertise supports the transition to fully electric, low‑emissions buildings that can adapt to changing energy markets.

Through detailed load analysis, reticulation strategy refinement and careful integration of solar, storage and EV charging, we deliver electrical systems that are efficient, practical and aligned with long‑term asset performance.

We simplify engagement with power authorities and clarify connection constraints early, reducing unnecessary upgrades, project budget and program risks, enabling teams to pursue all‑electric design pathways with confidence.

Our work in metering, automation and demand management gives operators and owners better insight into building performance, supporting more effective energy use over time.
