2016 Construction & Engineering Awards Build 67 stablished in 1991 to offer a full bespoke, energy efficient, hardware and software design and installation solution to completely control a buildings heating/cooling and ventilation systems, Powell Systems Engineering has since successfully designed, installed and maintained control systems for and on behalf on many blue-chip companies including Overbury, MJL, BBC, Coutts Bank and RBS, among others. Ian explains how his firm aims to offer them the highest possible quality of service. “As a company Powell Systems Engineering believe in honest and fair pricing and agreed rates, discounts and mark-ups. We believe in ‘working with the customer’ to achieve a common goal as opposed to working for the customer. We provide a one-stop shop for all of their needs and provide turn-key packages. We also issue out to the market a monthly email flyer with news and energy saving tips, which has also raised our company profile and market awareness.” Powell Systems has successfully delivered several projects over the £1,200,000.00 with extremely tight programs, and in one case within eight months. These include the British museum extension project, RBS Flagship building, the Houses of Parliament, BBC and ICL ICTEM building in Ham- mersmith, which Ian is particularly proud of. “One of our latest projects is a Laboratory building in Hammersmith for Imperial College London, that has start up Lab space and office space, this project was an outline design by Hoare Lea, but with a Powell Systems controls design. The main contractor on the project was Crown House and working with them on this exciting project was a great experience due to the actual build time of the project which was about 10 months for a full 13 story building. “The biggest issues here were coordination of getting the work done in time, but with the joint planning and the build off site plant rooms the contract came together very quickly. I think the best things that came out of the was the working in partnership with each other that made the job a difficult but great experience.” Looking ahead, the firm has a number of exciting new projects on the hori- zon, as Ian is eager to emphasise. “Powell Systems has been able to secure a major project with MKL on what will be Imperial Colleges new flag ship chemistry building with over 350 fume cupboards, making it one of the largest in the UK and a really exciting project for us.” Best Building Energy Management Systems Designer - UK Powell Systems Engineering specialises in the design, installation and maintenance of building energy management and control systems.
