ABOUT US
WE BRING BUILDINGS TO LIFE
We can then focus on problem solving, on delivering your requirements and on providing the very best possible environments for working and living. And all the while working to optimise your budgets and deadlines. In fact, we know that time is often key. So you’ll always find us fast, flexible, proactive, versatile and ready to do whatever it takes to get the job done. However, there’s one thing there’s no room for in any building we help to deliver, compromise. But this means you can choose us with complete peace of mind, confident that our understanding and application of the most demanding standards and regulations – including those relating to the environment and sustainability – are second to none.
Every project brings its own unique problems, but every solution we design is bespoke and delivered in the same highly exacting, high quality, technical, detailed and coordinated way. All our project teams are director-led, we remain closely involved at every stage to ensure your objectives are met, and we purposely remain engaged post-handover to review, refine and continuously improve what we do for you. We’re a friendly, enthusiastic, objective and collaborative team. That’s why nearly all of our projects come from repeat business, referrals and recommendations from our peers.

THE TEAM
The Team We recruit and retain the best and then invest without compromise in them through in-house training and external Continuous Professional Development (CPD) to ensure our engineers and support staff remain at the top of their game. Our client-focused culture is ingrained in us all, at every level of our business. Our common goal is to deliver the highest quality possible professional service and do the very best job we can for you. We’ve grown through planned expansion over the years. So today we’re big enough to compete with the best in class but still small enough to deliver genuine personal service. That’s why a director will be closely involved in your project from concept through to completion to ensure consistent quality and your total satisfaction.

LIGHTINGS
Lighting The right, bespoke lighting scheme design can make an incredible difference to your building project. It can take your already high-end residential scheme up to another level and that’s where we focus our specialist lighting service.
and capabilities available to develop and communicate their concepts to you” Our lighting solutions will complement and enhance the interior and architectural design of your property. Our service works on many levels, from setting the initial concept design brief with you to producing detailed installation drawings for contractors and everything inbetween. The technical enhancement we can bring to your interior and architectural concepts is unrivalled. Our lighting team has a range of tools and capabilities available to develop and communicate their concepts to you - through the use of visual sketches, graphic design and 3D modelling. These ensure clear communication and a concise vision of your lighting proposal, whether you’re an architect, developer or interior designer. We work through the interior layouts so the design takes shape by adding layers of light to highlight key areas of interest and reviewing colour and textures; all to produce a scheme with the emphasis on the quality of light, its colour rendering and visual impact.
How we do it Using the latest 3D lighting design software, we can give our clients a clear reproduction of what light will be produced by the luminaries we specify for your projects. In turn, this enables us to give accurate recommendations to our clients, while still keeping within lighting standards and the client’s requirements.

Audio Visual When the only constant is change. Technology continues to evolve at frightening speed. So determining the right Audio-Visual (AV) systems can be a challenge, even for the most ‘tech savvy’ client. Technology should enhance life, not complicate it - integrated, discrete and easy to use. It should deliver out of this world sound and vision but not cost the earth.
