Your starting point with F8
F8 helps teams avoid nasty surprises on cost, programme, and performance by joining up building physics, building services (MEP), BIM, and in-use monitoring and verification.
Five routes, one joined-up service
Pick the route that matches your role
Asset Managers
Know how your buildings are really performing, and what to do about it. We turn performance into clear actions, then verify results in use using, our in-house platform.
Architects
Protect the concept by resolving performance and building services early. We bring the hard constraints forward at concept stage, then carry that clarity through coordinated BIM delivery to reduce redesign loops.
Main contractors
MEP scope you can price, build, and control with fewer surprises. We tighten scope, improve coordination, and use BIM-led validation and 4D modelling to support sequencing, progress, and commercial control.
Developers
Prove the scheme stacks up, then protect the timeline to income. We de-risk viability early, protect programme, and control capex drift by bringing performance and MEP cost clarity forward.
Project Managers
Clear, real-time insight into building performance and compliance, so risks are identified early, decisions are evidence-based and costly surprises are avoided
Not sure where you fit?
What happens next?
Most projects involve more than one of these roles. If you tell us what stage you’re at and what you need to protect, we’ll point you to the right starting point.
Review meeting - We look at where you are, what you need to protect, and what information is available.
Short proposal - scope, outputs, programme, and fee.
First outputs - fast clarity first, then staged support if needed.
Rob's thermal modelling and risk analysis help us identify key issues early and strengthen our offer to the client. His forensic interrogation of design identifies cost-effective alternatives without compromising performance. His approach goes well beyond that of major consultancy practices, and the fact that this service is offered on a shared risk/reward basis speaks volumes about their commitment to delivering true value.
Rob has been a consistent and trusted partner throughout our tender processes as we grew from a £100m to a £1bn contractor. His ability to identify risks early, propose practical solutions, and deliver value engineering options has given us a competitive edge, both commercially and technically. I would not hesitate to recommend Rob and the team to any contractor looking to strengthen their technical offering at bid stage.
I urge you to give the team some serious consideration. Their service transcends a simple market test. More than any individual M&E consultant, they will thoroughly poke your design proposals to eek out best value.
