Local points to consider
Coordination
Ceiling, lighting, sprinkler and electrical layouts are coordinated early.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Diversity
Not every room peaks at once; good design accounts for diversity so central plant is not oversized.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Chorley often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
