HTM Compliance
Healthcare engineering is governed by Health Technical Memoranda. We design to the relevant HTMs from the outset, not as a retrofit.
Hospitals, surgeries, dental practices and care homes. Designing services that meet the standards healthcare demands, hold up when they're needed most, and keep patients and staff safe.
Sample project, to be replaced. New primary care facility with consulting rooms, treatment spaces and resilient services.
View ProjectSample project, to be replaced. Residential care setting with reliable heating, hot water and comfortable living spaces.

View ProjectA district hospital has different demands to a GP surgery, and a care home different again. We design across the healthcare range, to the standards each setting requires.
Complex estates with critical services that cannot fail, designed for resilience and continuity.
Community settings balancing clinical requirements with cost and buildability.
Specialist services for treatment rooms, including medical gas, extract and infection control.
Comfortable, safe environments for vulnerable residents, with reliable heating and hot water.
Anti-ligature design, controlled environments and the safety standards these settings require.
Controlled conditions and resilient power for sensitive diagnostic equipment.
Healthcare buildings carry a higher bar than most. Services that fail aren't an inconvenience, they're a risk to care.
Healthcare engineering is governed by Health Technical Memoranda. We design to the relevant HTMs from the outset, not as a retrofit.
Ventilation strategy, air change rates and pressure regimes are central to clinical safety. We design them to the clinical brief.
Healthcare estates cannot lose power, water or ventilation. We design redundancy and backup so critical services keep running.
Comfort, air quality and acoustics affect recovery and working conditions. We design for the people in the building.
Robust simplicity carries extra weight in healthcare. Estates teams maintain these buildings under pressure, and a system that's easy to understand and maintain is a system that keeps working when it matters. Complexity for its own sake is a liability in a hospital.
In practice that means designing to the relevant HTMs from concept, setting ventilation and pressure regimes to the clinical brief, building in the resilience and backup that critical care depends on, and coordinating medical gas, extract and specialist services with the clinical layouts from the start.
From feasibility through to commissioning, the directors stay close to the project. We work alongside architects we know, with main contractors we've delivered with before, including Kier and Morgan Sindall.
We are happy to look at briefs early, before the engineering scope is fixed. The sooner we are involved, the more value the design tends to add.
