Flint Building Services (FBS) based in East Sussex are Mechanical & Electrical Building Services Design Consultants specialising in the design of M & E services within the building sector.

Operating throughout the South East and Home Counties we provide our clients with comprehensive Mechanical & Electrical Building Services Design solutions, assisting architects and clients from the earliest stages of a project development through to its completion and final handover.

We oversee the services installation of your construction project from start to finish. We provide a full range of services starting with feasibility studies and design management. We monitor the project on behalf of our clients and then deal with any deficiencies at the end. Our expertise covers traditional building jobs as well as contemporary and innovative designs such as energy-efficient projects.

Conditional Surveys are an essential service which provides clients with important information regarding the condition of both their mechanical and electrical installations together with major plant items such as the electrical distribution network or expensive air handling equipment.

They typically go beyond statutory inspections and consider the present and future conditions of installed plant and networks and allow for the formulation of Life Cycle Cost Projections to assist clients with future maintenance or capital cost expenditure.With today's rising energy costs they are also a useful tool in detecting aging and inefficient systems which ultimately result in unnecessary high energy bills.

Before any design work begins, we carry out, if required, a feasibility study in conjunction with the architect, quantity surveyor and client to ensure a quick decision is made as to the project's viability, not just cost but also technical difficulties that require overcoming.

Projects are often subject to complex legal and technical requirements as well as costs, which the client must consider before deciding to invest in the construction process.As part of the feasibility study we will inspect the condition of the existing services and advise on whether some or all can be retained or whether it is best to remove the existing services and start from new.

Monitoring energy usage and associated costs has never been so important. Energy costs continually fluctuate, generally upwards. Property owners are increasingly keen to reduce their energy bills but how and where within an installation is the energy being used. Saving energy is a major requirement these days especially if you are considering alternative site generation options such as an expensive PV installation, wind turbine or even CHP.
