What MEP DESIGN does

MEP Design, legally Mechanical Electrical Public Health Ltd., is a UK-based building services engineering design consultancy incorporated in England and Wales (registration number 11928516) and operating from Ramsbottom. Founded in 2017, the firm provides mechanical, electrical, and public health (MEP) engineering design for new builds and refurbishments, supported by energy and sustainability services including BREEAM assessments, low carbon strategies, and renewable energy feasibility. Its technical stack centers on Building Information Modelling (BIM), REVIT-based 3D design, complex building simulation modelling, and CIBSE TM59 overheating risk analysis, used to predict energy demand and integrate sustainability decisions from concept stage through RIBA Stages 1 to 5.

The consultancy serves property developers, contractors, architects, and local authorities across residential, commercial, education, healthcare, leisure, and industrial sectors, with a notable concentration in high-rise residential tower work for build-to-rent operators. The go-to-market is direct, sales-led, project-by-project engagement with no intermediary distribution; flagship engagements include the £101m Trinity Riverview scheme, £17m ABC Manchester refurbishment, £12m Hyphen at Mosley Street, and the £11.1m Tameside Wellness Centre Denton leisure facility for Tameside Council. Repeat anchor client Renaker Build Ltd accounts for four simultaneous major residential towers, spanning 42 to 53 storeys.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees billed on a project basis, with pricing not publicly disclosed and varying by scope, complexity, and contract value. The company operates with a small 1-10 employee team of named project leads and maintains a nationwide UK delivery footprint, supported by core strategic partnerships with project manager OBI Property, sustainability consultant Element Sustainability, and various architectural practices.
