Contractor Engineering Support

More engineering capacity. Without another permanent hire.

Won the work, but short on engineering time? We provide defined mechanical and HVAC support packages that fit your programme, project standards and existing team.

THE REQUIREMENT

When clients bring us in.

  • A project starts before your internal design team is available.
  • Submissions, supplier reviews and queries are holding up procurement.
  • Site changes need engineering decisions and updated information.

THE ENGINEERING

What we can help with.

  • Tender review and scope development
  • Mechanical design and HVAC calculations
  • Equipment selections and technical submissions
  • Supplier technical reviews
  • Coordination, RFIs and technical queries
  • Construction changes and record information

THE OUTPUT

Know what you’ll receive.

The exact package is agreed in your proposal. Typical deliverables include:

Agreed work package

A defined scope, deliverable register, inputs and programme.

Project-ready information

Calculations, drawings, schedules or submissions in agreed formats.

Visible decisions

A record of queries, assumptions, changes and approvals needed.

Continuity through delivery

Agreed support for installation queries and design changes.

HOW WE FIT YOUR TEAM

Support that fits the workload.

Single project

A defined design or support package with agreed deliverables and milestones.

Overflow support

Additional capacity for a specific workload peak, with priorities agreed together.

Ongoing support

An agreed allocation of engineering time across a realistic forward programme.

GETTING STARTED

A useful first conversation.

Share the project type, immediate engineering bottleneck, deadline and information available. We will establish capacity, responsibilities and the first useful work package.

We review the requirement, identify missing inputs and agree a scope, fee and programme before work begins.

Support is scoped against available capacity and competence. Design responsibility, review authority, commercial terms and reliance on supplied information are agreed in writing.

How we approach the engineering

Your questions, answered.

Can you work as part of our team?

Yes. We can use agreed naming, document control and coordination processes. The appointment makes authorship, responsibility and review arrangements explicit.

Is support available for just one project?

Yes. Choose a single package, overflow support during a workload peak or agreed ongoing capacity across projects.

Can you meet an urgent deadline?

Send the deadline and the information already available. We will assess feasibility and dependencies before committing to a programme.
