Design & Coordination

Design & Coordination Services

At Gratte Brothers Design & Coordination, our design and coordination team produces high-quality working drawings for installation across London and the UK. These drawings reflect both a high standard of detail and clash-free coordination. Our technical design services team includes Chartered Engineers and members of the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers.

Pre-Construction

Our pre-construction and design coordination teams can be involved at all stages of a project – from conception to completion – and are often deployed earlier than our project delivery teams.

Some clients choose to appoint us on a PCSA (Pre-Construction Service Agreement) where we work alongside our client’s M&E consultants and other design team members offering our expertise on buildability, procurement and coordination before the issue of their Tender Information.

Once we’re appointed to a contract, our design and coordination engineers often take primary roles in our project teams, leading the pre-construction activities by delivering the working drawings needed for site installation to start.

BIM/3D Services

One of the crucial challenges for our design team is to identify the co-ordination problems that may exist before the work has begun on site. Building Information Modelling (BIM) enables us to prove that the chosen services installation will fit within the structure in a safe and coordinated manner.

Every mechanical and electrical drawing we produce is derived from our 3D models using the latest software. And to make sure we remain at the forefront of innovation, we encourage our staff to find and use new workflow systems and software.

Our Trimble 3D scanner digitally scans existing buildings and structures to ensure we use the most up-to-date information for coordination. This is critical when working in existing environments where accurate record information is unavailable. It’s also useful in new-build projects, as we can check the accuracy of the structural installations against the corresponding design models.
