Speak To Us About Your Project

Expert Building Services

Building services are the systems that make a building safe, efficient, and comfortable — the engineering that brings every space to life. They encompass all the mechanical, electrical, and public health (MEP) systems that ensure buildings function effectively, sustainably, and in full compliance with UK regulations.

From power and lighting to heating, ventilation, controls, and renewable energy, building services engineering is central to the performance and sustainability of any modern building.

At the Evans Group, we design, install, test, and maintain complete M&E systems. Our expertise covers the commercial, industrial, education, healthcare, accommodation, retail and leisure sectors, delivering reliable, efficient, and safe environments that meet today’s energy and performance standards.

Electrical Building Services

Our electrical engineers deliver complete, compliant, and efficient systems for buildings of every scale. From incoming power to intelligent control and renewable integration, we provide:

HV and LV distribution – incoming mains, switchgear, transformers, sub-main cabling, and containment
General and emergency lighting systems – design, supply, and installation for internal and external areas
Feature lighting and architectural illumination for commercial, hospitality, and public spaces
Lighting control systems and smart building controls for improved efficiency and user comfort
General LV power for commercial, industrial, and public-sector buildings
External and landscape lighting for safe and aesthetic outdoor environments
Fire detection and alarm systems
Security detection and alarm systems
CCTV systems, access control, and intercom solutions for building security and monitoring
Nurse call and staff alarm systems for healthcare and assisted living environments
Facilities for the disabled, including compliant WC alarm and assistance systems
Telecoms and structured cabling systems for reliable data and communication networks
EV chargers and infrastructure for commercial, fleet, and public charging networks
PV solar systems with battery storage for renewable energy generation and grid independence
Earthing, bonding, and lightning protection systems for safety and compliance
Building Management System (BMS) integration and energy management systems for efficient operation

Rainwater harvesting
Soil, waste, and vent pipework
Legionella prevention and water hygiene management
Acoustic and thermal comfort systems
Natural and hybrid ventilation strategies

Integrated M&E and Specialist Systems

The Evans Group offers a coordinated approach to M&E delivery — ensuring all services operate harmoniously for performance, safety, and energy efficiency. Our integrated works include:

Isolations and strip-out works
Testing and commissioning, including client demonstrations and witnessed testing
Comprehensive O&M manuals, complete with working and as-fitted drawings
Building logbooks for compliance and lifecycle management
Maintenance packages for long-term reliability and compliance
Vertical transportation systems, such as lifts and platform lifts (in partnership with specialist installers)
Firefighting systems – dry risers, hydrants, and extinguishing systems
Energy monitoring and sustainability reporting

Supporting Sustainable, Efficient Buildings

The Evans Group is committed to advancing sustainability through modern building services design and delivery. From low-carbon heating and renewable power generation to smart controls, EV charging, and energy-efficient lighting, we help clients reduce carbon footprints, improve operational performance, and achieve compliance with the latest standards — including Part L of the Building Regulations, CIBSE guidance, and BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations).

Our Process

Each building services engineering project is delivered through our structured 8-stage service model:

Design

M&E design, load-analysis, lighting design, energy-efficient solutions, resilience planning and technical coordination.
We work collaboratively with contractors, consultants and developers to ensure deliverability, risk management and cost control.

Supply

We take responsibility for procuring all equipment, materials, wiring, containment and control systems — ensuring specification compliance, quality assurance and value for money.

Installation

Our experienced engineers carry out safe and efficient installation of all electrical systems on-site. With more than 100 skilled engineers, we handle installations of every size and complexity.

Commissioning

Functional checks, system integration, programming, load testing and performance validation — we ensure your M&E installation is fully operational and compliant.

Testing

From LV/HV switchgear certification to emergency lighting tests and thorough system verification, we provide full testing services and documentation as part of the electrical installation.

Maintenance

Once installed, we support long-term asset performance via planned preventative maintenance (PPM), reactive maintenance, condition reports and lifecycle management. Our service helps clients protect their investments.

Strip Out

When systems reach end-of-life, require replacement or where refurbishment is planned, we provide safe and environmentally-responsible removal of redundant installations as part of the broader mechanical and electrical installation lifecycle.

Safe Isolation

Strict safe-isolation procedures are front-of-mind for all our installation work — to protect people, property and ensure regulatory compliance during upgrades, maintenance and refurbishment.
