MEPT

MEPT is mechanical, electrical, plumbing and technology design consulting. We recruit the engineers and designers who bring building services and building technology together.

MEP and technology are now designed side by side, from power and cooling through to AV, IT and security integration.

Mechanical covers HVAC, ventilation and energy efficiency. Electrical covers power distribution, lighting and emergency systems. Plumbing covers water supply, drainage and fire suppression.

Technology covers structured cabling, audiovisual, IT, security and integration. On data centers and hospitals it is designed alongside MEP from the outset, which is why our MEP and technology consultants sit side by side.
