Advisory Services
Helping clients make confident, well-informed / data based decisions across the entire building lifecycle.
Complimenting our core engineering services (mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, lighting design, vertical transportation, and ICAT/IMIT design), our Advisory Services help clients make confident, well-informed, and data-based decisions across the entire building lifecycle – from initial feasibility and planning to design and construction to post-occupancy and operations. We combine deep mechanical and electrical engineering, technology and management consulting expertise with over a century of insight to reduce risk, improve performance, and unlock long-term value.

We assess assets, capital needs, decarbonization options, and infrastructure risks to guide early decisions.
Value: Clear direction, fewer surprises, and a defensible roadmap for long-term investment.
Our Advisory Services Support:
- Engineering feasibility and options analysis studies
- Infrastructure business planning & advisory
- Decarbonization road mapping
- Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) feasibility
- Master planning
- Space occupancy analysis
- Operational readiness
- Resilience planning
Through audits, lifecycle analysis, and performance diagnostics, we pinpoint priorities for HVAC, electrical, and controls systems.
Value: Data-driven visibility that minimizes downtime, extends asset life, and improves budget certainty.
Our Advisory Services Support:
- Energy modeling
- Hydronic system modelling
- CFD analysis
- 3D scanning and scan to BIM services
- MEP condition assessments and lifecycle evaluations (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire systems)
- Energy and water performance benchmarking
- Indoor environmental quality assessments (air quality, ventilation, thermal comfort)
- Critical infrastructure reviews (data centres, hospital systems, labs, etc.)
- Demand-response and peak-load management strategies
- Maintenance strategies
- Support for capital renewal forecasting
- Power systems studies
We model pathways for electrification, retrofits, renewables, and decarbonization / net-zero transitions.
Client Value: Lower operating costs, reduced emissions, and preparedness for evolving regulations and incentives.
Our Advisory Services Support:
- Decarbonization/net-zero road mapping
- Renewable energy strategy, incentive assessment and support
- GHG emissions baseline + reduction modeling
- Electrification feasibility (heat pumps, boilers, kitchens, fleets)
- Renewable energy integration (solar PV, geothermal, heat recovery, etc.)
- Energy modeling
- Energy audits (ASHRAE Level I–II)
- Utility consumption analysis & load profiling
- Building analytics
We help owners integrate controls, analytics, and smart-building technologies in a scalable, future-proof way.
Value: Simpler operations, better insight, and technology that delivers measurable value — not lock-in.
Our Advisory Services Support:
- Digital strategy
- Visioning
- IoT
- Dashboard / data visualization
- Smart buildings consulting
- Command / operations centres
- Master systems integration
- Change management
- Process mapping
- Business case planning
- Smart building master planning
- IoT-based monitoring + sensor strategies
- Digital twins
We provide peer reviews, commissioning oversight, and technical advocacy from procurement through construction.
Value: Confidence that projects meet performance, cost, and long-term maintainability goals.
Our Advisory Services Support:
- Peer review
- Planning, Design and Compliance (PDC)
- Owners’ representation
Building Performance Verification provides clear, data-driven insight into how buildings actually perform after occupancy. We collect, analyze, and document building performance data—including space occupancy, system operation, energy use, and comfort conditions—and translate it into clear reports and visualizations.
Our work compares real-world performance against design intent and operational targets, giving owners and operators reliable documentation to support decisions, improve operations, and demonstrate performance to stakeholders.
Value: A building that operates as intended — or better — with lower costs and improved occupant experience.
Our Advisory Services Support:
- Space occupancy reporting
- Building performance data and visualization
- Operational document management hosting services
