Mott MacDonald helps clients deliver stylish, functional buildings with optimal environmental, energy, financial and social performance.
For all developments, controlling initial capital costs as well as running costs is fundamental, especially as facilities tend to be services intensive with major demands on mechanical and electrical systems. For private sector developments, it is essential that the design is pitched carefully to stand out from competition in the marketplace.
Our specialist façade team implements innovative systems for curtain walls, atrium spaces and skylight structures. Our acoustics experts work to reduce reverberation, noise and vibration intrusion. Achieving ideal energy efficiency is clearly a must and we have extensive expertise and experience in providing low energy solutions.
Mott MacDonald has also developed industry leading computer modelling software enabling us to design natural and artificial lighting and to assist fire safety engineering in all spaces.
