Building Services Engineering
The systems that make a building function — integrated from design, not bolted on at the end.
What’s included
- HVAC design to ASHRAE standards for ventilation and indoor air quality.
- Electrical power distribution and lighting design to BIS and NBC standards.
- Plumbing and sanitary systems design.
- Fire and life safety system coordination to NFPA codes.
- Low-voltage and building automation system integration.
- Coordinated clash detection modelling before construction begins.
Building services engineering covers the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems that make a building functionally alive — heating, ventilation and air conditioning, electrical power and lighting, plumbing and sanitary systems, and increasingly the low-voltage and building automation systems that modern buildings depend on. This discipline has an outsized influence on a building's day-to-day performance, energy consumption, and occupant comfort, and deserves the same early, integrated design attention as structural engineering rather than being treated as a technical layer added once a building's form is fixed.
We design building services in accordance with ASHRAE standards for HVAC and ventilation, relevant NFPA codes for fire and life safety, the NBC's Part 8 and Part 9 provisions for building services, and applicable BIS codes for electrical installation. Building services design is coordinated closely with architectural and structural engineering throughout, using coordinated modelling to resolve routing and spatial conflicts before construction begins rather than discovering them on site.
