Building services engineers help make your building more suitable for the people to live in. The introduction of mechanical systems within building environments brought about changes in the internal and external environments. For instance, there was need for change or redesigning of building floor spaces and shapes.

Now, there is need for electrical and HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning) engineers and building services engineers to handle issues dealing with plumbing, elevators, escalators, and heating and air-conditioning systems that are now vastly used in buildings today.

Removal of heat in building is more of a burden during the hot weather. Use of machines and electronics inside homes worsens this. So you will find cooling towers and mechanical penthouses on the roofs of most high rises, and blowers, compressors, pumps, blowers, water chillers, boilers and generators on floors.

If you want a great plumbing system installed in your building for proper distribution of portable water and efficient waste removal, you should seek for building services engineer to advice on the best design and placement. You might involve the engineer in the initial design, installation and larger repair or replacement. Some small repairs could be done by a technician.

The building services engineers in Surrey can help decide on which are the best showers, bathtubs, garbage-disposal units, dishwashers, lavatory basins, hot-water heaters, toilets and drinking fountains that you can use in your home. You will particularly need strong, durable and non-corrosive water-carrying pipes. The engineer will help determine the method of distribution of water and sewage collection.

Elevators and escalators are very common in modern buildings, especially the commercial buildings. A building services engineer will help advice on issues of safety, speed, and height. He can advise on the type of lifts to install. Same case applies for those needing escalators.

The engineer will access your building needs and advise which size of escalator or elevator to install. The personnel will also advise on its placement. Elevators can help carry people between floors and increase access. They can also be specialized to carry loads, and this takes the transportation hassle off people using these buildings such as shopping centers.

An engineer can also customize your escalator and elevator to desired lengths, inclination, color, shape and materials. Escalators can also be used within hospital environments.
