Historic Buildings
Works to historic buildings require a sensitivity to, and appreciation of, the quality and significance of the building structure and fabric. The incorporation of modern levels of comfort, communication and associated systems without causing irreversible impact on the fabric provides Building Services Engineers with major challenges. The experience of BCA on projects in Palaces, Cathedrals, Castles, Museums and Country House estates stands us in good stead for such projects... |
Residential
Whether dealing with projects in Country Houses and Estates, Town Houses, Apartments or housing complexes, the individual personal taste and preferences of Clients is paramount. There is no one-size-fits-all solution and every project has to be considered as a fresh challenge. Whichever type of property is considered, the incorporation of building services require close cooperation with the Client and other designers, and the establishment of a clear brief reflecting the Clients preferences... |

Galleries and Museums
Galleries and Museums are frequently subject to temporary or touring exhibitions in addition to any permanent installations, often requiring specific environmental conditions to meet insurance or National/ Government Indemnity Scheme requirements. Services installations, whether environmental, security or lighting, need to be flexible, easily controllable and adjustable. BCA and its staff have been involved in projects ranging from National Museums, Contemporary Galleries, to visitor attractions and exhibition centres including the Magna Carta exhibition... |

Education
Universities, Colleges and Schools are becoming increasingly dependent on extensive and sophisticated Information Technology facilities in addition to traditional teaching spaces. These systems give increasing demands on the extent and level of mechanical and electrical services. As education centres become more commercially competitive the technical and aesthetic quality of the buildings and facilities is becoming more individual to each project... |
Commercial
Commercial buildings, whether corporate headquarters or industrial office suites, are increasingly requiring extensive and flexible spaces and services installations to cater for variable use and tenancy requirements. Good quality environmental conditions, extensive services and IT infrastructure are paramount in creating an effective pleasant workplace atmosphere... |

Industrial
Major industrial installations are often initially tailored to specific uses, but commonly market changes result in a change of use. The technology installations need therefore to be adaptable and variable. Sophisticated manufacturing plant and equipment demand cleaner and more controllable working conditions and quality installations are necessary even in the most industrial workplaces... |
Performing Arts
Most performance arts facilities need to cater for a wide range of performances, classical music and dance, contemporary music and dance, and stage shows, all with differing requirements for lighting, sound systems, and environmental conditions. A flexible basic infrastructure is required in performance spaces, with incorporation of individual requirements to suit. A wide range of associated administration, catering and public area facilities are usually needed to enhance the overall visitor experience... |

Specialist Projects
The diverse range of projects with which we have been associated have common themes, detailed design, selections of equipment appropriate to the specific project requirements, determination of Clients preferences, and cost effectiveness, which can be applied to projects outside the normal scope. Whilst specialist projects may require specific technological facilities, high quality design, attention to detail, and providing facilities which meet or exceed the Clients requirements cross-over to every project with which we are involved... |
