MEP Concepts
Building a skilled workforce for the next generation
Providing technical advice and consultation in the building services sector requires a close eye on an ever- changing world of techniques, materials, regulations and guidelines. In a sector where every stage of the supply chain needs
to constantly move and innovate to meet the expectations of developers and clients, as well as hitting sustainability and carbon emission targets, there are some steep learning curves to be navigated. MEP Concepts is a dynamic consultancy that
specialises in building services engineering, sustainability and energy; it has built a reputation over ten years for providing clients with technical advice in the construction and development of property in the new build and refurbishment sectors. Its services begin with strategic energy advice at the
planning and concept stage and then move on to MEP Building Services Design consultancy for the outline, design development and construction stage of projects. Mark Kirbyshire, who founded the company in 2013,
believes that bringing together extensive engineering experience and combining that with a strategic approach is key to delivering sustainable solutions that add value to clients’ projects. He said: “Building services is constantly innovating and we are working on some exciting projects. With a
team of four directors, all highly experienced in our own fi elds, we can off er clients the support and advice they need throughout projects, from concept to completion. “But what we are also committed to is developing the
next generation of building services experts. We pride our- selves on the fact that all our consulting engineers are fully qualifi ed in their fi eld of expertise, be that in MEP design, sustainability or energy related, and we currently have three members of our team who are just starting on their journeys to becoming the experienced workforce of tomorrow.”
