We understand that mechanical design is often the most costly and space-greedy of all building services. Within that challenge, we see the greatest opportunity for optimisation for our clients.

How do we tackle it? Understanding each project and client’s needs and goals is our focus. We don’t just design Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning systems, we make sure they tick all your boxes. Our team understands some projects need cost effective solutions, while others are space sensitive, or performance critical. At Northrop, our mechanical engineers are agile, and able provide solutions that are designed for your project.

Our team works across multiple sectors within the built environment across new build and fitout works. Our experience includes commercial office buildings, health, labs, residential, education, retail, build-to-rent, and hotels.

We take a partnership approach with our clients and the whole design team from concept with the architect and project manager, through to installation with the builder and mechanical contractor – and everything in between.

As part of Northrop’s Integrated Buildings team, we service clients up and down Australia’s eastern seaboard and welcome the opportunity to help you find the best mechanical system approach for your next project.

We have vast experience across the built environment, from schools to office buildings, carparks to labs, and from hospitals to hotels. We put ourselves in our clients’ shoes to design practical, project-focused solutions.

Often the most complex projects due to existing conditions and spatial restrictions, the type of project we love! We look to find the best, most efficient solution to achieve project goals.

We review existing assets served by gas systems and consider all options to electrify the asset. As each building and project is unique, we consider several options against the projects objectives to achieve the best outcomes.

Often when projects are Design and Construct (D&C), or of a critical nature, a peer review is required. We consider peer review scope highly valuable and important, and aim to provide value to the project’s design, rather than taking ‘red pen’ approach.
