Theatre HVAC with medical gas pendants, ward ventilation and hospital upgrades.
02
Data centres & comms rooms
Precision cooling and switch-room ventilation with N+1 control strategies.
03
Clean rooms & containment labs
Clean-room HVAC and physical containment (PC) laboratory ventilation.
04
Commercial & high-rise
Office towers, banks and retail: AHU, VAV, VRF and chilled-water system design, plus lift shaft pressurisation to AS1668.1.
05
Aged care & education
Aged care residences, community centres, schools and sport and recreation facilities.
06
Kitchens, pools & industrial
Commercial kitchen exhaust and makeup air, indoor pool ventilation, cold rooms and freezers, warehouse and waste-transfer extraction.
What we do
01
Design
Full mechanical services design for new builds and upgrades: heat load calculations, equipment selection and specifications, building management controls, and green building design.
02
Management
Feasibility and value management, project and contract management, construction supervision, and site audits with clear, actionable reports.
03
Consulting
Certificates of Design, NCC energy efficiency reports, CAPEX and cost analysis, dilapidation and defect reports, and independent design peer review.
