— Building Services & Engineering
Overview
We provide multidisciplinary engineering solutions for projects across a wide spectrum of market sectors working within the building/construct industry. Our client base is just as diverse. We work for organisations ranging from large multinationals, to public sector bodies to private companies. That means the projects we get involved in vary extensively, too - anything from a corporate headquarters or school to a retail park or luxury apartment block.
We use our expertise to guide and advise our clients to achieve solutions which are:
Building services design has a huge impact on a development’s running costs and carbon emissions. Working closely with our environmental team, our engineers design building services that are both highly energy efficient and cost effective to operate. That’s because our mission is to play a key role in making buildings more environmentally sustainable. We provide an end-to-end service, extending from initial planning to construction fit out, plus lifetime facilities management.

Building Design
In addition to world-class engineering, D@ech offers diverse design services that address all aspects of form and function in the built environment.D@ech's approach to design is about width, breadth and depth - from perfecting the tiniest details of a building to managing complex multidisciplinary projects and developing living and working spaces for whole communities.
The firm’s expertise ranges from optimising the passive performance of a building envelope and skeleton to designing the active systems that create an efficient, safe, comfortable environment for occupants. Unable to resist a worthwhile challenge, D@ech's highly skilled engineers and designers embrace the jobs that would daunt others.
D@ech does not specialise in a particular style or building type and takes on projects from modest to massive scale. All of its skills and services are focused on enabling clients to achieve sustainable outcomes for best value.
Better Building Performance
D@ech's building-design specialists are engaged in research and analysis to make buildings more comfortable for their occupants, more sustainable for the planet, function optimally and provide better returns.
Increasingly the firm's designers are focused on the lifecycle performance of the built environment.
Analysing operational data will in time be used to improve all phases of a building’s performance - from concept to construction, through operation, adaptation and retrofitting to final decommissioning and recycling.
These skills set and services link together to provide excellent, sustainable and eco-friendly building designs.
Technology & Construction
In the early stages of a construction project, D@ech’s specialists assess client objectives, determine future demand and develop robust space and services assumptions. With a team of willing and dedicated engineers, they are able to see that technology is implemented effectively on the ground. From concept to successful completion, D@ech is always an integral part of any project we are involved with.
Because D@ech’s communications specialists speak the language of architects, engineers and contractors, clients get buildings with the technology required to run their business. Over 25 years of combined experience between our team, our clients confidence in D@ech’s ability to help manage operability, programme, budget and - ultimately- risk.
Added Value
With construction complete and technology installed, you still need to turn your building into a running operation. This is where D@ech's ability to advise multiple stakeholders is seen to its best effect.
D@ech plans trials and helps to resolve any resulting technological or operational issues. Operational readiness ensures that technology and people work effectively together. D@ech provides all the elements of the design, procurement and implementation of major projects. The firm also offers specialist operations consulting service, giving strategic advice backed up by in-depth sector knowledge, extensive project expertise and global reach.
Building Engineering
Valued for our engineering niche, superior customer service and ability to combine local knowledge with international best practice, D@ech provides innovative and functional design solutions to clients worldwide. D@ech is a trusted partner to clients with a progressive stance on sustainable development. Our integrated and collaborative design approach and our commitment to understanding their objectives ensure their vision for sustainability is fully realised.
D@echs’ expertise in the creation and management of building assets ensures maximum building performance and demonstrable value for our clients. We seek out ways to accelerate project delivery and maximise efficiency, without compromising the design. We manage risk, facilitate cost savings and ensure quality assurance through to the day you open the doors and beyond.
