We offer our grateful thanks to the many clients and professional colleagues in other practices were had the pleasure of working with over the past 30+ years.</div> <bR> <div> We were a small practice of consulting and building services engineers with our offices in  East Sussex, near Hailsham  and  West Chiltington, West Sussex.  </div> <bR> <div> We have been favoured with a number of large commissions over the last few years as detailed in our Projects pages. We believe our practice size  enables us to provide an improved  service to our clients by ensuring continuity of personnel through all stages of the project,  with the Directors and Senior Engineers (<A HREF="id18.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="BLR"><U>Barry Redmore</U></A> and <A HREF="id19.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="JRH"><U>Jim Hollis</U></A>) covering all aspects of the design and supervision process.</div> <bR> <div> In addition, our size is reflected in our overheads, giving us the ability to be competitive. Our philosophy and aim is to provide a high standard of service at a competitive cost. </div> <bR> <div> As a result , most new projects  emanate from referral or repeat works, either from  a client or another member of the design team from a previous project. </div> <bR> <div> We endeavour to build good working relationships with all design team members. Of prime importance is the relationship with the Architect (and/or Project Manager if applicable) if we are to achieve an integrated design based on the Architect's overall concept.    </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>History</B></div> <div> The company was formed in 1990 and since that time has been commissioned for building services projects of considerable scale and diversity. We specialise in design of electrical and mechanical services, producing specifications of works, inviting tenders, supervising the installation of the services and full contract control through final account stage to the termination of defects liability periods. We have also  been appointed as Planning Supervisors for a number of  projects.  </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Practice</B></div> <div> The practice is a limited company with Barry Redmore and Jim Hollis serving as directors. CAD and other technical services are provided by <A HREF="http://www.blra.net/BLRDataPro/default.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.blra.net/BLRDataPro/default.h"><U>BLR DataPro</U></A>. </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Director's </B><B>Memberships</B></div> <div> The Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers</div> <div> The Institute of Engineering Technology</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Professional Indemnity</B></div> <div> We currently provide a  professional indemnity cover of £2m.  </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Software & Working Practices</B></div> <div> All tasks are software based, enabling our comprehensive daily electronic archiving discipline to be maintained. We currently utilise the following software.  </div> <bR> <div> Hevacomp</div> <div> Microsoft Office</div> <div> WordPerfect Office</div> <div> AutoCAD </div> <div> Adobe Acrobat</div> <div> Relux (& other) three dimensional imaging & lighting design software</div> <div> Daylight modelling</div> <div> proCALC Electrical Services Software</div> <bR> <div> All drawing information is produced in CAD. This also applies to schemes where the base plan is not initially in a CAD form, as we find the cost of drawing the base plans is offset by the benefits of the medium throughout the project and the reduction in space to that occupied by conventional drawing furniture.  </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Quality Management</B></div> <div> With our philosophy of practice size, we ensure that individual engineers are maintained on projects for the duration of the scheme. Our working practices and the daily archiving enables the recording of tasks in a manner which allows fast retrieval.</div> <bR> <div>    </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
