Imagine yourself in the most fabulous building in the world. Now take away the lighting, heating and ventilation, the lifts, escalators, acoustics, plumbing, power supply and energy management systems……and you’re left in a cold, dark, uninhabitable shell. Everything inside a building which makes it safe and comfortable to be in comes under the title of ‘Building Services’. A building must do what it was designed to do – not just provide shelter but also be an environment where people can live, work, play and achieve. QED’s aim is to achieve this within our client’s criteria.
Our team delivers design solutions for new build and refurbishment projects. We understand that maintaining services in occupied premises during refurbishment projects is critical and we have developed high levels of understanding of the way in which our designs can be implemented and phased to ensure that this is achieved.
We are fully aware of the requirement to provide building services design solutions that consider cost, sustainability and energy conservation. This is from the initial capital expenditure to the whole life costs for the project to provide best value for our clients.
