Building Services Engineering
Mechanical and electrical engineering, energy assessment, regulatory compliance and technical consultancy across RIBA Stages 0–7.
Our engineers develop and review building-services strategies, system capacities, spatial requirements, interfaces and technical deliverables from early feasibility through detailed design, procurement and construction support.
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical and public health engineering for new-build, refurbishment, plant replacement and decarbonisation projects.
Our engineers develop heating, ventilation, cooling and domestic water strategies, including central plant, distribution networks, above-ground drainage and rainwater systems. Designs consider peak loads, system diversity, plant duties, pressure losses, hydraulic performance, ventilation rates, acoustic criteria, energy use and the integration of low-carbon technologies, with dynamic thermal modelling undertaken where required.
Electrical Engineering
Electrical building services and infrastructure design for new developments, refurbishment projects and operational sites.
Our engineers develop incoming supply and LV distribution strategies, assess available capacity and fault levels, and coordinate utility and DNO requirements. Designs include protection studies, cable sizing, voltage-drop assessment, containment, small power, lighting, emergency lighting and life-safety systems.
For higher-demand installations, we also undertake IEC 60287 cable assessments to evaluate current-carrying capacity, installation conditions and thermal performance.
Energy, Sustainability & Compliance
Energy assessment, sustainability and regulatory compliance services that inform the building-services strategy and overall project design.
Our services include Building Regulations compliance, Part L design input, SAP and SBEM assessments, energy strategies, BREEAM-related engineering input and DREAM support for applicable MOD and MOJ projects. We also prepare technical evidence and coordinate with the wider assessment team where required.
Assessment services are delivered by appropriately qualified assessors and specialist partners where applicable.
Surveys & Technical Consultancy
Technical surveys and consultancy for existing buildings, proposed developments and projects requiring detailed engineering review.
Services include condition surveys, existing-services appraisals, feasibility studies, technical due diligence and contractor-design reviews, together with specifications, tender documentation, fault investigation, remedial advice, inspections and construction-stage support.
Specialist EV Infrastructure
EV infrastructure services are delivered through EV-Design, JBSE's dedicated specialist brand for commercial charging, fleet and depot electrification, eHGV infrastructure and high-power charging developments.
The service covers electrical capacity assessment, utility coordination, distribution design and construction support for projects of varying scale and complexity.
Support Across The Project Lifecycle
We can support projects across multiple stages, from early feasibility and engineering strategy through design development, technical delivery, procurement and construction, with commissioning and post-completion input where required.
