Edward Pearce

What Edward Pearce does

Edward Pearce LLP is a chartered consulting engineering firm headquartered in Surbiton, Surrey, United Kingdom, established in 1944 and operating continuously for over 80 years. The firm specialises in Building Services Engineering across Mechanical, Electrical, and Public Health (MEP) disciplines, delivering feasibility studies, condition surveys, energy and environmental assessments, full design and specification, contract administration, and commissioning monitoring for construction industry clients.

The practice serves four primary verticals: Prime Residential (70% of workload, concentrated in high-quality listed and heritage buildings in London's prime areas such as Hampstead and Belgravia), Healthcare (NHS trusts, private hospitals, and treatment centres), Education (universities and schools), and Commercial (office fit-outs, retail, public sector). Technical delivery relies on CAD and 3D Revit software, supplemented by specialist capabilities in Passivhaus/EnerPHit consulting, renewable energy systems, and sustainable retrofit design — evidenced by the firm's role in the UK's first listed building to achieve BREEAM Outstanding (119 Ebury Street) and the first London privately rented EnerPHit buildings (11-19 Passmore Street).

The business model is professional services: project-based consultancy fees charged directly to clients including property developers, NHS trusts, local authorities, and private individuals, with no public pricing and no intermediaries. Revenue is generated through repeat business and word-of-mouth referrals supported by a long-tenured workforce (25-30 year average tenure), ISO 9001 certification, and 50+ years of ACE membership. The firm is a private limited liability partnership with 11-50 employees and no disclosed funding, external investors, or parent company.
