Points to plan for in Glasgow
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 Glasgow 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.
Coordination
Ceiling, lighting, sprinkler and electrical layouts are coordinated early.
Leased premises
If your Glasgow 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.
Who we work with in Glasgow

In Scotland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more also need a periodic energy inspection.
