Calculate, don't guess
Every diameter and every head is backed by a calculation. If a solution cannot be justified, we do not propose it.
About
Twelve years of building services design
A small team that takes the whole building: from the first site visit to the signature on the acceptance report. No intermediaries, no subcontracted design.
Why we exist
Building services design often turns into passing responsibility around: one party calculates loads, another draws, a third handles approvals, and on site it turns out the pump is cavitating and the duct does not fit above the ceiling.
We work differently. One engineer leads the project from survey to handover and answers for every decision in their discipline. The person who does the calculations and drawings is the person who comes to the acceptance.
The bureau was founded in St Petersburg in 2014. We started with heating substation refurbishment in housing stock; today most of the work is industrial and public buildings: production halls, laboratories, warehouses, schools and offices.

01 Principles
What we stand on
One owner
The lead engineer carries the project from start to finish. We do not swap people mid-way.
Honest cost
We count cost of ownership, not just equipment price. A cheap pump with poor efficiency costs more in three years.
No rework
If there is an error in someone else's design, we say so. If the error is ours, we fix it at our own cost.
Equipment and software
We are not tied to a single supplier. Equipment is selected for the task and the budget, but only from brands we know from operating experience.
- Danfoss, Grundfos, Wilo — substations and pump groups
- Systemair, Ostberg, Salda — air handling units
- Schneider Electric, Siemens, OWEN — controls and instrumentation
- AutoCAD, Revit, nanoCAD, LiNear — drafting and calculations
How work is organised
The first meeting happens on site or at the office. Floor plans and a clear idea of what does not work are enough to start. We then prepare a short brief and an estimate.
The contract is split into stages: survey, concept, concept design, detail design. Any stage can be stopped — you pay only for what is done.
Approvals with heat suppliers and authorities are handled by us when included in the scope. Otherwise we prepare the package so you can pass them on your own.
We work with legal entities and sole traders. Contract, invoice and acceptance acts use standard forms, with or without VAT.
See whether we fit
Send a short description of the building. We reply within one working day: whether the schedule is realistic and how much work is actually needed.
