Building Services Engineering services include mechanical, electrical and public health engineering services (MEP).

Delivering sustainable solutions and energy savings combined with architecturally sympathetic designs has shaped the role of the modern building services engineer – specialists who play a vital role in the success of built environment and construction projects.

Our duties are undertaken with our clients, stakeholders and end-user experience firmly in mind. Flexibility, value, life-cycle and aesthetics are considered along with high-performance technology to ensure buildings meet our client’s aspirations and are as sustainable and efficient as possible.

New build, retrofit, extension or full refurbishment – we apply our MEP expertise to all types of project across a wide spectrum of market sectors. From briefing to handover – or those stages required for any particular client or situation.

To optimise energy efficiency we adopt a methodology which holistically considers fabric heat losses and gains, building orientation, lighting – including daylighting and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems.

We assess all appropriate options to assist our clients in making informed decisions to meet their project and business aspirations as well as their environmental targets.

An overview of services includes:

  • HVAC
  • Electrical engineering
  • Public health engineering
  • Low and net zero carbon (NZC) report work
  • MEP focussed decarbonisation design
  • Performance (design and build procurement) and technical (traditional procurement) designs
  • Dynamic simulation modelling including Part L calculations
  • Building physics
  • Specialist lighting design
  • Smart buildings
  • Climate based daylight assessment
  • Indoor air quality reports
  • Survey & report work including pre-acquisition, acquisition, disposal, condition, compliance, technical due diligence
  • Legal expert services including Rent Review, Dilapidations and other technical disputes
  • Planned preventative maintenance (PPM)
  • Technical advisor to contractors or other clients
  • Public and private utility supplies
  • Electric vehicle charging infrastructure
  • Masterplanning advice

Our building services engineers, strategic energy & sustainability and vertical transportation teams work seamlessly with each other to provide fully integrated multi-discipline technical solutions.

Rolton contributes to new 2030 built environment workforce planning report

10 June 2026

Rolton is pleased to have contributed to the newly launched industry report, ‘Built Environment Strategic Workforce Planning for 2030’.

The comprehensive publication stems from the latest INSPIRE event hosted by the Built Environment Futures Assembly (BEFA). This powerful leadership forum was established by the University of the Built Environment (UBE) to break down professional silos, spark collaboration, and drive excellence across engineering, construction, and real estate.
