At Oatway Design Ltd, we provide Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) engineering solutions that balance innovation, sustainability, and cost efficiency. From large-scale developments to bespoke refurbishments, our expertise spans every stage of the building lifecycle.

Building Services Design

We specialise in Mechanical and Electrical building services design for both new and existing buildings. With decades of experience and a commitment to innovation, our engineers deliver solutions that prioritise cost-efficiency, climate readiness, and long-term performance. Utilising certified software, including Hevacomp, Relux, and AutoCAD, we provide detailed, future-proof designs. Our proactive and collaborative approach ensures alignment with clients’ goals while adapting to evolving project requirements.

What We Deliver:

• Scalable, future-proof designs for commercial, industrial, residential, and healthcare projects.

• Systems that integrate seamlessly with architectural visions and client or tenant demands.

Building Condition, Energy, and Decarbonisation Surveys

We offer comprehensive surveys to assess the condition and performance of Mechanical and Electrical installations. These services help clients understand the effectiveness of their systems and plan for improvements with a focus on decarbonisation and energy efficiency.

Our Focus:

• Building Condition Surveys: Detailed reports on system age, quality, and life expectancy, including annotated photographs and budget replacement costs.

• Energy and Decarbonisation Surveys: Identification of opportunities to reduce carbon emissions through renewable energy integration, electrification of systems, and energy efficiency upgrades.

• Health and Safety Audits: Ensuring compliance with regulations and highlighting statutory inspection requirements.

M&E Technical Advisory and Principal Designer Services

We are often engaged as M&E Technical Advisors, ensuring designs are executed to the highest standard. Our role includes regular site inspections to maintain quality and compliance, client representation during construction to ensure systems meet detailed design requirements, and providing peace of mind with transparency and quality assurance. Our advisory services encompass lifecycle cost tracking, project financial reporting, and on-site troubleshooting to maintain project timelines and budgets. Additionally, we provide Principal Designer duties under CDM Regulations and the Building Safety Act, ensuring that every project meets exacting standards of quality, safety, and compliance.

How We Help:

• Acting as Principal Designers, managing design risk and ensuring compliance with Building Regulations and health & safety standards.

• Representing clients in design reviews, regulatory assessments, and site inspections.

• Coordinating across teams to integrate safety and compliance seamlessly into project delivery.

Building Performance Assessments

To provide seamless project management, Oatway Design facilitates a range of building performance assessments, ensuring optimal energy use, comfort, and regulatory compliance:

• Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and Display Energy Certificates (DECs)

• SAP and SBEM Calculations

• Low or Zero Carbon (LZC) Reports

• Thermal Modelling and Overheating Analysis

These assessments support decarbonisation strategies, helping clients achieve net-zero carbon goals and improve operational efficiency.
