HVAC design and heat load surveys in Brent

HVAC design and heat load surveys for businesses in Brent — surveyed, designed and priced in writing before any work starts.

  • Design fees confirmed in writing first
  • Equipment, positions and price set out in writing

How much does HVAC design cost in Brent?

In Brent, guide prices run from about £635 to £3,150 per project, plus VAT. A typical job (design package for a 300–800 m² office) usually comes to £1,250–£3,150 plus VAT. Your exact price is fixed in writing before any work starts.

An HVAC design and heat load survey works out how much heating and cooling each space needs — from occupancy, equipment, lighting, glazing, orientation and the building fabric — and sets out the system type, unit sizes and positions, pipe and duct routes and controls in a written specification.

Our coverage in Brent

In Brent, commercial premises range from street-level shops and restaurants to offices in converted and modern buildings, many with managing agents and landlord consents to work through.

That includes premises in HA9 and the surrounding districts. We also work in nearby Wembley, Harrow and Greenford. Buildings across London 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 you get

  • System options with pros, cons and budget costs
  • Layout drawings for units, pipework and condensate
  • Electrical load and supply requirements
  • Noise data for planning or landlord approval
  • Written specification for pricing

Leased premises

If your Brent premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
