Our Aim
Our mission is to provide top quality professional engineering service to our clients. We are committed to high standards of client service.
We aim that our clients recognise our high quality, clear and concise design strategy and give us a chance to prove that we can exceed the level of service and commitment to our competitors. After providing an excellent service, we aim for repeat work and continue to develop a loyal client base to ensure security for the short, medium and long term development of the company.
We aim to be recognised for our design excellence, design team integration and commitment to sustainability. Our designs are carried out in a logical process, often using the RIBA stages. We ensure that our designs fully meet client’s needs in terms of system suitability, budget, visual aspect etc as well as meeting the necessary CIBSE design criteria and building regulations.
We are introducing a staff training and development programme for intern, graduate and apprentice engineers. This is inspired by Carl, who joined the industry as a school leaver apprentice at the age of 16 and has completed all qualifications whilst in full time employment.
