Arbroath and surrounding areas
Arbroath is a smaller town in Dundee and Angus, with independent shops, offices, surgeries, pubs and local business units. Dundee is about 26 km away.
That includes premises in DD11 and the surrounding districts. We also work in nearby Montrose, Forfar and Dundee. Buildings across Dundee and Angus range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
What the job covers
- Room-by-room heat gain and heat loss calculations
- System options with pros, cons and budget costs
- Layout drawings for units, pipework and condensate
- Electrical load and supply requirements
- Written specification for pricing
