County Durham project routes
What does your project need?
Choose the route closest to the estate, building or infrastructure decision. Each route is adjusted to the available site information and project programme.
Campus or estate development
Coordinate building loads, shared infrastructure, plant strategy and future connections across multiple assets.
Explore this routeExisting estate survey
Build reliable condition, capacity and replacement information before prioritising capital works.
Explore this routeTechnical workspace
Define ventilation, power, resilience and specialist interfaces for laboratories, innovation or production environments.
Explore this routeUtilities and energy
Test incoming capacity, energy strategy, Part L and operational requirements against the planned development.

Building decisions connected across the site
County Durham projects can involve distributed estates, shared utilities, technical accommodation and phased investment. The MEP strategy must distinguish building-level needs from infrastructure decisions that affect the wider site.
Capacity and resilience
Available electrical, heating, cooling and water capacity is checked against planned growth and critical loads.
Phased delivery
Temporary conditions, retained operations and future phases are recorded in the engineering strategy.
Asset information
Survey and register outputs provide a consistent basis for maintenance, replacement and investment decisions.
Connected services
Building-services design and assessment
Connected design and assessment services can support a single building, an estate-wide decision or a phased programme of work.
