Member Description:
Hoare Lea is a highly successful, award-winning firm of consulting engineers, specialising in mechanical, electrical and public health (MEP) engineering, and is the largest of its kind in the UK. Founded in 1862, Hoare Lea remains an independent partnership, with 10 offices throughout the UK and a growing international presence.

Our mission is to deliver a professional service of the highest standard; to share our experience and knowledge with others; and to continually collaborate in improving the design and construction process.

We aim to exceed our client’s expectations by providing a client focused mechanical, electrical and environmental engineering design service, which results in good value, appropriate buildings that are economic to maintain and operate.

We work on some of the highest profile projects in the industry and with leading architects, designers and contractors. We are currently working on projects across all main market sectors, ranging from small studies and reports to projects valued at more than £4 billion.

We lead the way in sustainability, and our reputation for an innovative approach, backed up with strong delivery, underpins our ability to create long-standing relationships with our clients.

Our engineering excellence has contributed towards many award-winning schemes. In 2008 Hoare Lea won both the ‘Large Consultancy of the Year’ and the ‘Innovation of the Year’ categories at the Building Services Awards. This was the third year in succession and the fifth time in the eleven years since the awards were established, that Hoare Lea was presented with the ‘Large Consultancy of the Year’ award. At the 2009 awards Hoare Lea’s professional development activities were recognised through the ‘Training Initiative of the Year’ award. Hoare Lea also won the ‘Best Use of IT’ award for its work on the converged network infrastructure at Cabot Circus, Bristol.

This success is due to the high quality of our staff. At the heart of the firm we have some of the best engineers in the construction business and most of our Partners are still hands on engineers. The Partnership has made a considerable investment in its staff and provides project teams that are creative, motivated, committed and possess good communication skills. We also have excellent teams that provide vital administrative, IT, financial, HR and marketing support.

Specialist knowledge is central to our success. Hoare Lea recognises that the delivery of today’s engineering solutions requires specialist design expertise and knowledge of market sector benchmarks and design standards. This expert knowledge is resident in our sector focused teams located throughout the practice. These include: Commercial (offices), Culture, Education, Health, Hotels and Resorts, Infrastructure, Leisure, Manufacturing, Process, Public, Residential, Retail, Science, Sport and Transport.

We also have specialist groups to support every aspect of the building environmental brief and can offer expert advice in many complex areas of design, construction and operation. Our specialist groups include: Acoustics, CGI, Communications, Engineering Management, Expert Witness, Façade Maintenance and Access, Fire Engineering, Lighting, Public Health, Refrigeration, Research and Development, Security, Sustainability, Vertical Transportation and Virtual Engineering.
