We bridge the gap between design intent and delivery reality, giving you the assurance that your project’s building services are compliant, coordinated and constructed to the highest standard.
Our strength as Technical Advisors comes from decades of hands-on experience delivering building services on complex projects. Having worked extensively alongside main contractors, specialist MEP subcontractors, design teams and project managers, we understand both the design-side expectations and the realities of construction delivery.
This dual perspective allows us to spot issues early, challenge assumptions, and guide teams toward solutions that are practical, compliant and buildable. We bring real-world engineering judgment to your project, ensuring that what is drawn can be installed, what is installed will perform, and what is handed over stands up to scrutiny.
As your Technical Advisor, EDC acts as an independent partner dedicated to protecting your investment and programme integrity.
Technical Due Diligence provides clarity and confidence throughout the development. Our team of mechanical and electrical engineers identify and evaluate building services risks that may affect investment goals, operational performance, and future adaptability.
We understand how MEP systems are designed, operated, and maintained and, crucially, how and why they fail. By combining this expertise with deep insight into sustainability, compliance, and lifecycle performance, we deliver clear, actionable advice on the condition, cost, and upgrade potential of building services systems.
Working in partnership with our clients, we align technical findings with strategic investment priorities, supporting informed decision-making and sustainable value creation across every stage of a building’s lifecycle.
A strong on-site presence is essential. It’s where design assumptions meet reality. When engineers stay engaged on site from early stages, they’re able to verify that design intent translates properly into what’s built. It’s the best way to close the gap between modelling and delivery.
Good site engineering is proactive. It’s about looking ahead and asking: What could go wrong next week? By embedding ourselves within the project team, our engineers can make informed judgments and help both clients and contractors navigate technical or spatial challenges. This hands-on approach keeps projects moving smoothly and strengthens relationships across the team.
Our extensive experience working alongside Ireland’s and the UK’s leading Tier 1 contractors enables us to provide informed, practical advice that reflects the realities of construction delivery. This close collaboration ensures our technical advisory service bridges the gap between design intent and on-site performance. The space needed, installation tolerances, fixing, and access considerations. That kind of insight makes all the difference when it comes to project success, especially at the early stages of design.
Compliance isn’t just ‘sign-off at the end.’ It’s a continuous, evidenced process across design, procurement, install, and handover. The biggest risks we see on live projects are late design changes, unclear dutyholder responsibilities, product-substitution without equivalent certification, and incomplete commissioning evidence, each of which can stall programmes, inflate costs, and expose owners to regulatory challenge long after PC.
We close those gaps by issuing concise, photo-supported inspection reports and maintaining a live Action Tracker so technical queries are assigned, dated, and closed. Fast.
