Mechanical Electrical Sustainability Harmonisation

Davies Partnership provides early-stage MEP planning and sustainability strategy to help clients make better decisions before a scheme progresses too far. Delivered through our bespoke MESH framework, this service brings mechanical, electrical and sustainability thinking into the design process at the point where it can add the greatest value.

Too often, building services and compliance issues are considered late in the project, after architectural and structural decisions have already been fixed. That can create significant problems around plant space, riser allowances, servicing routes, overheating, Part L compliance and overall buildability. Our MESH approach is designed to address these issues early, reducing the risk of redesign, delay and costly planning resubmissions.

We work with clients and design teams at pre-planning and concept stage to provide the key MEP and sustainability information needed to shape a realistic scheme. This includes servicing strategy, spatial allowances, energy and carbon considerations, compliance risks and early-stage technical coordination.

The result is a more informed design process, better planning support and a stronger platform for successful project delivery.

MESH is particularly valuable on schemes where budgets are tight at early stage, but the cost of getting key design decisions wrong would be far greater later on. By embedding building services strategy from the outset, we help clients de-risk projects, protect programme and support better-quality outcomes.

What do our clients think?

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Davies Partnership for a number of years now and have recently utilised their new service MESH on one of our residential projects in Denton, Manchester. With the growing emphasis on sustainable construction and ever evolving legislation, particularly in relation to Part L & Part O (Overheating) Building Regulations, I have often found myself instructing various consultants and co-ordinating them
individually for different aspects of compliance.

Davies Partnerships new service MESH has streamlined this entire process by providing us with a single point of contact that possess ‘in-house’ the various disciplines and skills that we require. The Davies Partnership team provided critical up-front feedback ‘Pre-Planning submission’ that suitably informed the architectural design in relation to the mechanical, electrical and sustainability elements.

Their trusted team, backed by years of industry-leading experience, ensures that I know I’m in good hands. Not only has it saved me time, but it’s also provided a more cohesive approach to meeting these crucial standards.

They ran workshops with the various stakeholders at key stages, walking us through the proposed M&E strategies to ensure we had a well-thought-out design – ultimately reducing costs and potential delays on the scheme
moving forward.
