About Us
Watt Energy & Consulting Engineers have an excellent reputation for delivering efficient and cost-effective low carbon mechanical and electrical design packages across a broad range of public and private sectors.
With a proven track record across the North West and throughout the UK, our friendly and committed team take great pride in providing a service which carries out all aspects of mechanical and electrical design engineering from conception to completion.
Our highly skilled consultants believe working closely as a team and effective communication with the Client, architect, and structural engineer is essential to drive a coordinated, efficient MEP and structural solution
Watt became part of Civic in November 2024 through a shared vision of having a positive impact on the environment and enabling people to lead happier and healthier lives. We believe that sustainable design is paramount, regardless of the size or nature of a development. We champion sustainable, low carbon design and prove time and again that significant savings can be made when environmental issues are embraced and explored at an early stage.
We know that peace of mind is key to our clients, which is why we provide a single point of contact at Director level across all aspects of a project, ensuring that our clients know exactly who they can contact, whether their query concerns energy calculations, mechanical or electrical design, planning, environmental issues or whether just for a general update.
Our ethos is that our clients employ us as their MEP consultants and we will strive to resolve any M&E related issues as quickly and flexibly as possible.
We understand that the only certain thing in Construction is that the unexpected will, and does, happen. We believe that these are the times when we can stand up to be counted.
