Mechanical, electrical and public health (MEP) maintenance monitoring provides property and asset managers and managing agents with specialist oversight of the procurement and implementation of the maintenance of building services. As buildings are expected to deliver higher standards of sustainability, compliance, user experience and wellbeing outcomes, our experienced team of engineers ensures that building systems are equipped to deliver them.
Buildings are for people, so we start with wellbeing performance. MEP building services drive basic functionality including light, air and water quality, and infrastructure for technology. If left unmanaged, these dynamic systems degrade a building’s performance on many fronts, from the user experience and well-being, through to sustainability and energy efficiency. Left unchecked, these issues can spiral in both cost and complexity, placing an asset under financial risk.
This is underpinned by ensuring building services are maintained in compliance with Statutory, health and safety and legislative compliance. We do this through established industry standards, such as BESA SFG 20. We supplement this with our experience and the specifics of the building’s requirements and your organisation’s business plans. This is checked regularly through scheduled meetings and audits.
TFT engineers are deeply knowledgeable about the design, installation and maintenance of building services. Our technical expertise is matched by a commercial understanding of how building services contribute to a high-performing asset and what must be done to maintain its greatest attainable value throughout its operational life.
We provide independent advice for the maintenance of MEP services, but the first line of defence should be maintenance contracts. In addition to ongoing support, we provide independent tendering and procurement advice, as well as managed MEP maintenance contract tenders to help clients control their costs and maximise the value of contracted works. This can scale from the provision of an asset register to a full “turnkey” process, starting with a briefing meeting for the client’s requirements through the full tender process, analysis of the returns, recommendations as well as contract production and mobilisation.
We can support the selection of computer aided facilities management (CAFM) systems, and will ensure a cost-efficient solution specified through our robust tender specification and contract document processes.
With unbiased technical knowledge, we ensure the right work is carried out at the right time, by the right engineers. We also understand the importance of complete documentation and data gathering, which is accessible to our clients to inform future planned preventative maintenance (PPM) scheduling, end users’ information requests and facilitate eventual building transactions.

Mark heads up the M&E Professional services line for TFT and also has extensive knowledge and experience in the completion of Technical Due Diligence (TDD) surveys for commercial, industrial and larger domestic properties across the UK and in Europe.
TDD surveys undertaken at TFT have ranged between single office buildings to portfolios of different types of buildings that are located all around the UK. These surveys have previously included a large private estate in the centre of Birmingham that is served by a private high voltage electrical supply system with combined heat and power systems (CHP) and district heating systems to serve approximately 3,500 flats and apartments.
Mark has also substantial experience in the compilation of M&E Dilapidation schedules and in the subsequent negotiations process. Once the dilapidations schedules have been finalised Mark undertakes the project management role to ensure the associated rectification and remedial works are fully completed to return the property to the original configuration.
As part of the M&E Maintenance Management service Mark undertakes all aspects of the formal tender process for M&E maintenance contracts from start to finish including the compilation of bespoke asset registers and contract specification documents and all aspects of the formal tender analysis process.
