WORKSHOPS
Six sessions a leadership team can commission today, without a discovery call. Each one is built around a cost MEP and specialist engineering teams already carry: work redone because the concept was frozen without them, fees given away in meetings, tax relief never claimed, judgment walking out the door. Prices shown.
Early Stage
Your team keeps inheriting a frozen architectural concept and paying for it in coordination, riser fights, and redesign nobody bills for. This session builds the practical case for getting MEP judgment into Stage 1 and 2: what to show an architect or client before geometry locks, how to earn the seat rather than request it, and how to price early involvement instead of donating it.
Who’s in the room: discipline leads and senior engineers, up to ten.
You leave with: a Stage 1/2 engagement playbook for your practice and one live project mapped against it.
Half day, on site or remote. €2,750.
Early Stage
Every technical position an engineer concedes to end an awkward meeting becomes unbilled redesign. This session trains client-facing engineers to hold a defensible position with a client, a board, or a developer who will never read the calculation, and to build the one visual that makes the position land. Delivered direct or through SoPHE and CIBSE.
Who’s in the room: client-facing engineers, up to twelve.
You leave with: each engineer’s live technical position translated, visualised, and stress-tested in the room.
Half day, on site or remote. €2,750.
Validation
Most practices know rework hurts; almost none can put a figure on it. Using your own job records, this session puts a number on what abortive design work cost the practice last year and traces it to the handful of concept-stage decisions that caused most of it. The number goes to the board. The three upstream changes go to the teams.
Who’s in the room: leadership and discipline leads. Includes pre-session data preparation with one nominated person.
You leave with: the figure, the three changes, and a board-ready one-pager.
Half day, preparation included. €2,750.
Validation
A structured session that stress-tests the assumptions behind a live project at concept stage, before the expensive decisions lock. The room works through the project’s assumptions one by one and ranks what would hurt most if wrong.
Who’s in the room: the project team, up to eight.
You leave with: a ranked risk register for the project and a defined next step.
Half day, online or in person. €2,750.
Money Back
One in four construction firms has never claimed R&D Tax Credits, a scheme that returns up to 20p per £1 of qualifying spend. This session teaches engineers what actually counts as qualifying activity, so it gets logged as the work happens rather than reconstructed at claim time. Most teams find the first claim-worthy activity before lunch.
Who’s in the room: engineers and the person who prepares the claim.
You leave with: a capture routine wired into how the team already records work.
Half day. €2,750.
Succession
Somewhere in the practice there are a handful of people whose judgment cannot currently be reproduced, and at least one of them is close to leaving. This engagement captures one senior engineer’s judgment before it walks out the door: structured interviews, decision records, and a handover plan for whoever inherits the role.
Who’s in the room: the departing engineer, their successor, and their lead.
You leave with: a judgment record and a working handover plan.
Fixed scope, per departing engineer. €4,500.
