The Hampden Consultancy, established
in 1993, is the trading name of THC Consulting Engineers Limited and specialises in assisting clients in resolving
technical and contractual problems with respect to
mechanical & electrical engineering services that
can (and often do!) occur on many construction projects,
whether during the pre-contract or construction phases,
or indeed post-contract.
Although
‘trouble-shooting’ and ‘problem-solving’ forms a core activity
of The Hampden Consultancy, it is
nonetheless our working knowledge of the total building
design and construction process, including the contractual
elements of building and engineering services contracts,
that enables us to provide truly-independent technical
advice and support to our clients, often working alongside
both client-appointed design teams and on-site project
teams.
In addition, by carrying out activities such as design audits both before and during the construction phases, we have ensured that projects are handed over in accordance with both individual client requirements and relevant design standards.
Indeed, our expertise has also enabled us to provide
clients with credible and cost-effective solutions
to problems such as:
 |
Development
on restricted sites |
|
Phasing
works whilst existing buildings and/or engineering
services installations remained in use |
|
Complex
building layouts requiring unusual or innovative
technical solutions |
|
Listed
buildings requiring ‘sympathetic’
treatment |
|
Difficulties
caused by geographical locations |
In
addition, by carrying out activities such as design
audits both before and during the construction phases,
we have ensured that projects are handed over in accordance
with both individual client requirements and relevant
design standards.
Whilst
The Hampden Consultancy primarily
operates in the healthcare sector [being included
on the register of approved consultants for a number
of NHS trusts], it nonetheless has a track record
of assisting clients in other industry sectors, including
defence, government, commercial, retail, sheltered
accommodation, private healthcare and nursing homes.
We also undertake expert witness work in respect to mechanical & electrical engineering services, being retained either directly by the instructing client or by their legal representatives.
