Know What
to Ask.
What should the model include? Which calculations matter? Who checks the work? Start with the questions that shape a useful engineering scope.
01 / PROJECT GUIDE
BIM Solutions
Tell us how you will use the model and which disciplines you need. We will agree the drawings, model detail and checks with your team before work starts.
Discuss Your ProjectA few lines are enough. No document to fill in first.
Useful Starting Information
- The project stage and what the model will be used for
- Current drawings or scan data, with coordinates and units
- Your BIM execution plan, model requirements and software versions
What to Agree Before Work Starts
- Models for each agreed discipline and a combined model
- An issue list showing who needs to act and what has been resolved
- The drawings, schedules and file formats listed in your scope
Agree the level of development (LOD) for each model element. An LOD label does not confirm survey accuracy, fabrication readiness or approval. Design and statutory approvals stay with the appointed design authority.

02 / PROJECT GUIDE
Data Center Engineering
Share the facility loads, cooling approach and design stage. We will work with your team to define the calculations, models and drawings you need.
Discuss Your ProjectA few lines are enough. No document to fill in first.
Useful Starting Information
- The site, design stage, resilience requirements and review team
- IT loads, rack layouts, cooling system and operating conditions
- Current models, drawings, equipment data and project standards
What to Agree Before Work Starts
- The agreed building-services models, layouts and drawings
- Calculations or airflow simulation reports included in the scope
- A record of assumptions, open questions and items to coordinate
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results apply to the conditions tested. Record the loads, boundary conditions, mesh checks and pass criteria. Simulation does not replace commissioning or certify a facility. Agree certification, permits and final approval roles separately.

03 / PROJECT GUIDE
Plant Engineering
We design processes, size equipment and develop plant layouts. Tell us where you need support, from front-end engineering design (FEED) to detailed design.
Discuss Your ProjectA few lines are enough. No document to fill in first.
Useful Starting Information
- What the process does, its capacity and where our scope starts and stops
- Process diagrams, equipment data, plot plans and site information
- Project standards, hazardous areas and connections to other systems
What to Agree Before Work Starts
- Process design, equipment sizing and calculations agreed in the scope
- Plant layouts, models, piping isometrics and discipline drawings
- A record of design assumptions, questions and drawing revisions
Agree the design stage, survey limits and work by others before starting. Specialist safety studies, vendor approvals, statutory design and commissioning are separate unless included in the scope.

How to Compare Engineering Partners
- Ask to see similar work. Look for an approved sample from the same discipline and project stage. Ask what the team designed, what it checked and what it delivered.
- Meet the project lead. Find out who will do the work, answer questions and handle changes. Agree meeting times that work for both teams.
- Compare what the price includes. Check the drawings, calculations, revisions and exclusions. An hourly rate alone will not tell you the full cost.
- Start with a small package. Agree how you will review it and what it must pass before the rest of the work starts.
- Agree how files will be protected. Confirm the non-disclosure agreement, access rights, ownership and deletion rules before sharing project files.
This guidance is not a design standard or project-specific engineering advice. Agree an NDA and a secure way to share confidential files before sending them.
