RIBA 0–7 UK MEP design consultancy

Building services designed to be built.

Kronetronics designs mechanical, electrical and public health systems for UK buildings. Our designs are coordinated, buildable and clear enough for the site team to install without guesswork.

Why Kronetronics

Practical design from engineers who know what happens on site.

Plenty of consultancies produce drawings that look right in the office. Ours work when the ceiling grid goes up, the plant arrives and the commissioning engineer switches it on.

Buildable by design

Services sized and routed with installation, maintenance access and sequencing in mind. Real plant sizes, sensible access zones and routes that respect structure and other trades, so fewer RFIs reach your site team.

Director on every project

The director who wins your project is the one who delivers it. One-to-one contact from concept to handover.

1:1

Coordinated in 3D

Federated Revit models with clash detection against architectural and structural packages before anything is issued.

Compliance built in

Calculations you can audit, prepared against Part L, BS 7671, CIBSE guidance and the Building Safety Act.

All three disciplines

Mechanical, electrical and public health from one team, so the services fit together first time.

Services strategy, utilities and site constraints.

1

Preparation & Briefing

Performance brief, energy targets and surveys.

2

Concept Design

Plant strategy, space allowances and risers.

3

Spatial Coordination

Coordinated layouts and planning reports.

4

Technical Design

Detailed design, specifications and tender issue.

5

Manufacturing & Construction

Site support, technical queries and inspections.

6

Handover

Commissioning witness, O&M review and as-builts.

7

Use

Post-occupancy review and seasonal checks.

FAQ

Questions we're often asked.

Which RIBA stages do you cover?

All of them, from Stage 0 Strategic Definition through to Stage 7 Use. We can join at any point, including novation to a contractor at Stage 4 or 5.

Do you work directly for contractors?

Yes. Much of our work is for main contractors on design and build schemes and for M&E subcontractors who need detailed design or installation drawings.

Will a director be involved in my project?

Always. A director is your point of contact throughout, reviews the design and attends the key meetings.

Do you design in Revit or AutoCAD?

Both. Larger and BIM-led projects are modelled in Revit to ISO 19650. Refurbishments and smaller schemes are often better suited to AutoCAD 2D packages.

Where in the UK do you work?

We take on projects across the UK and arrange site visits to suit your programme.

M · E · P Plus Revit & AutoCAD

Three disciplines. One coordinated design.

Mechanical, electrical and public health engineering under one roof, delivered in Revit and AutoCAD. One team, so the services fit together the first time.

Mechanical engineering

Heating, cooling and fresh air that perform.

Load calculations and dynamic modelling drive every decision, and plant selections are checked against real manufacturer data rather than rules of thumb.

  • Heating and cooling design
  • Air and ground source heat pumps
  • Ventilation and MVHR
  • Air conditioning and VRF
  • Overheating (TM52 / TM59)
  • Part L, SBEM and SAP input
  • Smoke ventilation
  • Controls and BMS
Electrical engineering

Power and light, safely distributed.

From the incoming supply to the last socket outlet, designed to BS 7671 with coordinated protection, sensible containment and lighting designed around how each space is used.

  • Supplies and DNO applications
  • LV distribution and sub-mains
  • Interior and exterior lighting
  • Emergency lighting (BS 5266)
  • Fire alarm (BS 5839)
  • Small power and containment
  • EV charging and solar PV
  • Access control, CCTV and data
Public health engineering

Water and drainage, sized right.

We treat public health as a core service, with hydraulic calculations, sensible riser strategies and early coordination with the architect on falls, stacks and access.

  • Hot and cold water services
  • Above-ground soil and waste
  • Rainwater and siphonic drainage
  • Booster sets and storage
  • Rainwater harvesting
  • Natural gas installations
  • Legionella mitigation (L8)
  • Sprinkler and wet riser interface
Revit & BIM

Revit models you can coordinate around.

All three disciplines modelled in Autodesk Revit to ISO 19650, with real families and correct system types so schedules, sections and quantities come straight from the model.

  • MEP modelling to agreed LOD
  • Navisworks clash detection
  • BIM Execution Plan support
  • Builder's work and penetrations
  • Plant room and riser models
  • COBie and asset data
AutoCAD

Clear 2D drawings, on any project size.

For refurbishments, fit-outs and smaller schemes we produce precise AutoCAD drawing packages that contractors can price and install from directly.

  • General arrangement layouts
  • System schematics
  • Plant room details
  • Riser diagrams
  • Existing services surveys
  • As-built and record drawings

Need one discipline, or all of them?

We take on full MEP commissions and single-discipline packages.

15+ years Building services design

Engineers who've worked both sides of the line.

Kronetronics was set up by engineers who spent their careers in design offices and on construction sites. We know what a good drawing package saves a contractor, and what a poor one costs.

Director-led

Your project is never handed down the line.

What sets us apart is how closely our directors work on every scheme. You deal directly with a senior engineer who reviews every calculation, attends the key meetings and picks up the phone when your site team has a question.

That one-to-one relationship means faster decisions, consistent design intent from Stage 0 to handover, and accountability that stays with the people whose names are on the company.

The director who wins your project is the director who delivers it. That's the promise behind every Kronetronics design.
KThe Kronetronics directors
How we work

Built around the contractors who install our designs.

Main contractors

We work closely with main contractors on design and build projects, novated appointments and contractor's design portions, keeping the MEP design aligned with programme, budget and buildability.

Subcontractors

We support M&E subcontractors with detailed design, coordinated installation drawings and technical submissions, so installers have accurate information from day one.

Clients & architects

Plant space, riser sizes and ceiling voids decided early cost far less than ones fixed late. We get involved at the start so the building has room for its services.

Value engineering

Our value engineering proposals are tested against performance and compliance, so a cheaper option is still the right one once the building is in use.

Our values

People. Spaces. Performance.

People

One-to-one relationships with clients and contractors, and a director who knows your project personally.

Spaces

Services designed to fit the architecture, with sensible plant space, tidy risers and clean ceiling voids.

Performance

Systems that meet their energy and comfort targets in use, not just on paper at Building Control.
