Our vertical transportation team delivers expert engineering advice to ensure safe, efficient, and cost-effective movement within buildings. We provide tailored solutions that consider performance, compliance, and user experience across a range of building types and occupancies.
Our performance-driven process begins by establishing your specific sustainability metrics and targets. We integrate these with our advanced design, analysis, and simulation services, embedding sustainable practices into every stage of your project, from concept to construction and ongoing performance monitoring. Our team provides environmental impact assessments, compliance support, and tailored strategies to enhance energy efficiency, resilience, and cost-effectiveness, ensuring your building meets today’s regulations and tomorrow’s standards.
We design with resource efficiency at the core, focusing on reducing lifetime operational costs and maintenance needs while meeting legislative requirements like energy efficiency targets and paolicy frameworks. Our solutions optimise daylight, water use, insulation, glazing, and passive thermal performance to minimise greenhouse gas emissions and potable water consumption. We also prioritise occupant wellbeing through strategies that enhance air quality, natural light, and comfort, creating spaces that are both functional and nurturing.
Our key sustainability capabilities include:
- Lift and elevator system design and specification
- Escalator planning and coordination
- Occupant circulation analysis
- Traffic flow planning and system optimisation
- Compliance with relevant legislation, standards, and building codes
With a focus on balancing speed, safety, and operational efficiency, we help deliver vertical transport solutions that align with project goals and enhance overall building performance.

Dos and Don’ts – MEP Design for Prefabricated Buildings
Introduction Prefabrication is transforming the construction industry — offering speed, cost-efficiency, recycling opportunities and quality control by shifting building work from site to factory. This process has the potential to be superior to traditional building in terms of both time and costs, with claimed time savings of between 20 and 50 percent faster than traditional […]

Teaspoon Ventilation: Rethinking Basement Car Park Ventilation Design
Basement car parks are often some of the most challenging spaces to coordinate during construction. Between structural elements, drainage services, lighting, fire systems, and head height requirements, ventilation systems can quickly become a source of complexity, cost, and programme delays. Traditional approaches frequently rely on extensive ductwork and coordination efforts that place additional pressure on […]
