Overview

Why engineering matters in commercial buildings

Offices and malls combine long spans, heavy footfall, high cooling loads and dense services. Most of the operating cost comes from energy and maintenance, so the right structure, efficient HVAC and a well-planned electrical system shape the long-term value of the investment.

We run all disciplines in one team and one BIM model, protecting lettable area, ceiling heights and ease of operation.

  • Economical long-span structural solutions
  • Efficient HVAC for high occupancy and changing use
  • Electrical distribution ready for flexible tenant fit-outs
  • Clash detection in congested ceiling voids with BIM

Our process

Our process, step by step

  1. 01

    Goals

    Use scenarios, leasing strategy and budget are agreed with the client.

  2. 02

    Concept

    Structure, energy and HVAC concepts are set together.

  3. 03

    Design

    Calculations are completed; systems and equipment are sized.

  4. 04

    BIM coordination

    Disciplines are merged into one model and ceiling-void clashes resolved.

  5. 05

    Delivery

    Construction drawings, specifications and quantities are delivered.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which disciplines do you cover for malls and office buildings?

Structural, electrical, mechanical and infrastructure design — and architectural construction drawings when needed — with one team and BIM coordination.

Do you work on commercial projects abroad?

Yes, including Mane Mall in Iraq, Victoria Garden Shopping Centre in Ukraine and Airport City in Ghana.

Do you design refurbishments or retrofits of existing office buildings?

Yes. We carry out seismic assessments, strengthening designs and building-services renewal for changes of use.

What does BIM bring to commercial buildings?

Ducts, pipes and cable trays in ceiling voids and shafts are modelled in Revit and clash-checked in Navisworks, reducing site revisions, delays and cost.

What should I send for a proposal?

Send the architectural drawings or concept, approximate floor area and required disciplines to [email protected], or call +90 216 469 53 63.
