Included as standard
- Room-by-room heat gain and heat loss calculations
- System options with pros, cons and budget costs
- Layout drawings for units, pipework and condensate
- Noise data for planning or landlord approval
- Written specification for pricing

What to think about in Workington
Diversity
Not every room peaks at once; good design accounts for diversity so central plant is not oversized.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Future use
Allow for growth in occupancy or IT load.
Working hours
Most Workington businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Typical premises in Workington
