OUR SERVICES
BUILDING SERVICES DESIGN
A dynamic multi-disciplinary consultancy delivering quality professional expertise across a diverse range of sectors. Our history has been to support MEP deigns and delivery from RIBA Stages 4 to 5, with both mechanical and electrical contractors, but our services are also employed by developers and PCSA contractors from Stage 2.

BUSINESS SUPPORT
To complement the MEP division, our service offering has been extended to include a range of Compliance and HR services. Through working with our clients and supply chain, we recognised that many of these businesses were looking for assistance in these areas and that as we are fortunate to have a team that can deliver this additional support it made sense to offer these services externally.
We are able to support the production and completion of a wide range of Compliance and HR documentation, provide assistance with the achievement of a wide range of accreditations including Constructionline, Safecontractor, ISO and other specialist requirements. In addition, we can offer a range of HR support across the whole spectrum including policies and documents, provision of advice and guidance, recruitment and training support.
Where this is a need for specific Health and Safety support or a more intense requirement for HR assistance, we are engaged with a trusted network of consultants who can work closely with your business as part of a joint offering from John Francis or referred to you as an independent service.
COMMISSIONING AND SITE SUPPORT
Commissioning is a systematic process of verifying and documenting that all components of a project are designed, installed, tested, operated, and maintained according to the operational requirements of the owner or final client. This phase involves rigorous testing, fine-tuning, and validation to ensure everything functions as intended.
A well-commissioned project ensures a smoother transition from the construction phase to the operational phase. It provides comprehensive documentation and training for the end-users, ensuring they are well-equipped to operate and maintain the systems effectively.
We are able to provide on-site commissioning support as well as lead on the management of commissioning documentation through our electronic system and work with our high quality supply chain to help clients resolve issues identified through the process to ensure systems are fully functional and running at optimum conditions.
