Practice Profile

Parker Wilson Consulting are a Building Services Engineering Practice with offices in Manchester and London and an associated office in St. Albans. We offer a full design service covering Mechanical, Electrical and Public Health Services, including data and telecom systems.

Originally established in 1989 from within an architectural group practice, we pride ourselves on our understanding of the needs of other design team members. We have an informed view of the particular working practices of our Clients, especially with regard to office space planning, catering and healthcare and laboratories.

The practice was founded on the basis of providing creative innovative design and a high level of service to our clients. The year on year growth of the practice has been due to repeat commissions from clients and recommendations from clients and other design team members.

We carry out projects within various sectors including healthcare, education, commercial, residential and industrial.

We also specialise in "Fast Track" projects we have a flexible approach to the particular requirements of each project and can tailor the services offered accordingly. This can range from full design and project management to specialist advice on specific matters.

It is practice policy to employ Engineers with experience within various sectors and ensure that they undertake a varied workload within the practice in order that there is a cross fertilisation of ideas. We therefore use the project management experience we have gained in large fast track office fitouts in undertaking difficult specialist healthcare projects.

Building appraisals are undertaken for Clients considering purchasing or leasing buildings and condition surveys for estate management purposes. In this respect PWC have particular expertise in commercial offices and educational establishments. Computerised, fully costed condition surveys enable Clients to plan their plant replacement programmes over a number of years and to allocate expenditure for specific priorities such as health and safety, fire precautions and energy conservation/CRC.

Scope of Services

The services offered include the following:-

1. Full design of mechanical, electrical and public health services incorporating data and telecoms systems.

2. Condition Surveys

3. Building Appraisals

4. Feasibility Studies and Development Plans

5. Facilities Management and Plant Maintenance Procedures.

All drawings for the practice are undertaken utilising the latest LT and full version of AutoCad. We utilise TAS, Cymap with CADlink and Amtech for our design software.

Each engineer has a computer with email and internet access on a common server with broadband communication. The practice has a policy of continuous upgrade with regard to IT facilities. All engineers are computer proficient and therefore we do not rely on a separate CAD drafting department to produce drawings.

Information Systems

We work on the basis of internet information systems, which allow each engineer instant access to all British Standards, Building Regulations etc.
