Sectors of Work
CDP are able to offer a full range of MEP services with the belief that the right design with the right decisions will avoid problems later on in the construction phase. Therefore we work tirelessly with our design partners to agree co-ordinated concepts, space planning and legislative compliance to ensure design decisions are fully agreed prior to the construction stage.
Workplace
We have worked on a variety of offices ranging from corporate headquarters to small office units. These projects have included new build on brown/green field sites, as well as refurbishments of entire buildings to single floors. Office spaces can be designed from full comfort cooling to naturally ventilated, and include all sustainable and energy efficient solutions required.
