WHAT WE DO
We specialise in providing complete M&E building services and sustainability design across all sectors of engineering, ensuring that your building is outfitted with top-of-the-line MEP systems and is ready to meet the demands of the future.
We provide consulting services in renewable energy and sustainability to optimise our electrical and mechanical services. This includes photovoltaic system design; low carbon consulting (Part L compliance, energy efficiency and renewable technologies), energy audits; IES modelling; SAP calculations; energy management strategy and energy-efficient design.
We conduct thorough due diligence site reviews and assessments of existing infrastructure to ensure that our clients select the most suitable properties and buildings to meet their specific requirements.
We carry out comprehensive condition surveys of Mechanical and Electrical services for our clients. Our detailed and easy to follow reports provide valuable insights into the age and condition of the M&E systems, maintenance provisions, life expectancy, and system efficiencies.
INDUSTRY SECTORS
-
The success of commercial spaces relies on creative, innovative, economical and sensible design. We create environments that enhance productivity through wellbeing, reduce energy consumption, and provide optimal comfort for occupants. We are particularly well versed in improving existing low-grade office space to grade A high-rent spaces with excellent energy efficiency and user experiences. We have experience with achieving a range of certifications including Passive House, wiredscore and BREEAM, and our fingerprints can be found across a number of recently refurbished Bristol office spaces.
-
We Create optimal learning environments that inspire and empower future generations by M&E design. Our experience covers further education colleges, DfE, private schools, and universities. Each with departments with very specific needs. We believe in close stakeholder engagement throughout the design stages to ensure we understand the needs of the space, the teachers, and the learners. We are also familiar with fixed project deadlines and busy summer breaks that ensure the day-to-day operation of education facilities remains as smooth as possible.
-
Our focus is on preserving and showcasing cultural heritage through innovative MEP designs. From museums to theatres, our MEP consulting engineering company brings creativity and technical expertise to cultural projects.
A considered and careful approach is always needed for heritage buildings to ensure historical building value is preserved. That is not to say that sustainability can’t be front and centre of the designs and it is always worth exploring this with our clients to find innovative ways to mitigate any perceived conflict between sustainability and conservation.
-
We design MEP systems to ensure spaces are comfortable and enjoyable for hotels, sport, leisure and recreational facilities. We develop solutions that enhance visitor experience while ensuring safety and comfort of all end users and operators. Our M&E consulting and design company provides solutions that create immersive environments, including audio-visual systems, air conditioning, ventilation systems, architectural lighting design and smart M&E systems.

We have an extensive track record for delivering excellence in the residential sector. Our capability ranges from luxury high-specification new build residential properties to student accommodation. We have worked with private landlords and large developers on projects ranging from single dwelling to apartments in multi-story towers for the private rental sector. This means we are familiar with a range of clients with various levels of experience in the construction industry, and we are used to working through the design process and the services options with them.
-
We have vast experience of working on various industrial type projects. We have learnt that holistic understanding of the specific industrial processes is paramount for effective, sustainable, efficient, economic and well-designed building services in any industrial type building.
We develop strategies that maximise energy efficiency for each specific industrial process. For example, coupling industrial process with heat demanding projects. Thorough analysis and prediction of actual process energy demand and not just connected equipment loads we can generate significant economic benefits when connecting such developments to grid.
-
We have experience working on data centers of various sizes and resilience levels. We are able and happy to assist our clients in the decision-making process to determine the level of resilience that will best benefit their needs. We provide full design support from the initial concept until post-completion. We are fully versed in the requirements of The Uptime Institute, an organisation focused on business-critical systems that defines internationally recognised resilience levels/tiers, and we are happy to assist with the selection.

With the UK’s ban on new petrol and diesel engine cars from 2035 and the introduction of building regulations approved document part S, many sites and buildings are in need of electric vehicle charging. At Vida, we have a great understanding of the issues often associated with infrastructure for EV charging. We have worked on many projects where we reviewed electrical infrastructure on our clients’ sites and have been able to provide comprehensive advice and designs for new EV charging. There are many ways to tackle the associated load increase, and we have experienced engineers to guide our clients and design teams through the process.
-
We have worked on many projects which involved strategic reviews of the existing infrastructure on specific or prospective sites. We can help find unobvious ways how to bring new or enhance existing infrastructure whilst considering the Client’s aspirations, the project programme and costs.
-
We have experience in providing strategic and robust MEP solutions for military facilities and operations. Ensuring safety and security through resilient MEP systems for custodial and defence facilities.
The military sector has unique requirements for security, reliability, and resilience. Our Mechanical & Electrical consulting and M&E design company provides solutions that meet these requirements, including secure communication systems, backup power systems, and specialised HVAC systems.
-
We create efficient and sustainable MEP designs for healthcare facilities. Our MEP consulting engineers understand the critical importance of efficient and reliable systems in healthcare facilities.
