We Pursue Innovation
We challenge conventional thinking, embrace new ideas, and continually seek better ways to solve engineering problems for our clients and communities.
As a leading Building Services Engineering firm, we engineer the systems that keep environments safe, sustainable, and efficient. From high-performance HVAC systems to intelligent lighting, energy management, and water services, our work powers the places where people live, work, learn, and heal.
Established in 1945, offering a wide range of experience in all aspects of building services engineering. We have a high reputation for excellence, providing commercial solutions to clients’ needs. Our engineers provide a comprehensive, professional, cost effective service working closely with the project team from the earliest stages to project completion.
Employing a Consulting Engineer provides clients with technical assurance, value for money, and risk mitigation. An experienced engineer balances capital investment against long-term operating and lifecycle costs, avoids lowest cost/lowest quality solutions, and ensures energy efficiency, regulatory compliance, and reliable performance. Acting as an independent advisor, the Consulting Engineer protects the client’s interests, supports informed decision making, and reduces uncertainty, helping projects run smoothly, efficiently, and cost effectively from concept through to operation.
On most major building projects, Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) services represent 25–45% of total construction cost, making early and expert input essential. A Consulting Engineer is appointed to define technical requirements, prepare performance specifications, and ensure like for like tendering. Throughout design and construction, they independently monitor design development, installation, commissioning, and handover, ensuring systems are fit for purpose, compliant, and aligned with the client’s objectives.
At Charles Andrews, our values shape how we work, make decisions, and support one another every day. They guide our approach to engineering, our relationships with clients, and our commitment to developing our people. As a growing consultancy, we believe our success comes not only from the quality of our technical expertise but also from the culture we create and the standards we uphold. We are committed to providing an environment where talented people can thrive, contribute, and make a meaningful impact.
We challenge conventional thinking, embrace new ideas, and continually seek better ways to solve engineering problems for our clients and communities.

We recognise that our people are our greatest strength and are committed to supporting their wellbeing, development, and long-term success.
We are committed to delivering on our promises and achieving outcomes that make a real difference.
We take pride in producing high-quality engineering solutions that are technically robust, practical, and sustainable.
We support projects ranging from small investigative surveys through to multi-million-pound construction schemes. While surveys account for around 10% of our turnover, they often form the gateway to wider design and delivery commissions.
We are appointed through multiple recognised frameworks, including:
With a team of 30 experienced engineers and technical specialists, we support clients throughout the full project lifecycle – from early feasibility and surveys through to detailed design, delivery, and post completion support
