Building Services Engineering Design

Imagine yourself in the most fabulous building in the world. Now take away the lighting, heating and ventilation, the lifts and escalators, acoustics, plumbing, power supply and energy management systems, the security and safety systems. You are left in a cold, dark uninhabitable shell. Building Services Engineers really do “bring buildings to life”. (www.cibse.org)

How we can help

Hannan Associates cover the full spectrum of professional services associated with Building Services Engineering including feasibility, performance specification, design, consultancy, construction inspection, facilities maintenance and energy management.

Our approach focuses on understanding what clients need and want to achieve from each individual appointment and building our service to suit. We place a great importance on the feasibility stage ensuring that the team can make a well informed choice of direction, which is critical for success.

Our design process identifies solutions by examining the key areas where architecture, structure and services influence each other. Our solutions are known for pushing beyond current thinking, while controlling risk and delivering on the key essentials of client and end user satisfaction. We think beyond handover so our clients know the long term running and maintenance implications at the point of choosing a particular design solution and we adopt a lean, mean and green approach to sustainable design.

We have gained experience of most types of projects during our 40 years and have been lucky to be involved with many long standing schemes and develop many long standing working relationships.  Often, the projects we work on are part of longer term, strategic, mixed-use developments where we are involved very early on in the project as part of the masterplanning team, to help develop the site Infrastructure and Sustainability strategy.
