Mechanical and electrical
We’re different because we understand mechanical and electrical engineering as part of the whole building consultancy picture. Our large force of M&E engineers combines specialist knowledge with a practical approach, a commercial outlook and the multi-disciplinary support of the wider Hollis team. Our M&E offering comprises operational engineering M&E projects and vertical transportation.
Operational engineering
- We look after existing buildings and their M&E services, supporting at every stage from acquisition and operation to modernisation and disposal.
- Through maintenance management we monitor and control a building’s mechanical and electrical systems throughout its life.
- As independent and commercially minded engineers we understand investors and can guide you in managing diverse operational demands — from keeping buildings operating sustainably, efficiently and reliably, managing maintenance budgets and CAPEX expenditure, to tenant relations, service charges and compliance.
M&E projects
- We provide specialist project support across a wide range of sectors, on projects ranging from £20,000 to more than £10m.
- We’re recognised for our industry-leading technical expertise, strong commercial awareness and rounded, strategic view.
- We use 3D design simulation software and Revit® for precise, pragmatic and sustainable design advice.
- We work closely with our project management team or autonomously, collaborating with other suppliers.

What we do is quite technical — but we’re highly practical, thinking commercially and giving useful, pragmatic advice rather than just the ‘text-book’ answer.
