What we do
  • Design review & validation
  • Site inspections & installation oversight
  • Procurement & spares strategy
  • Commissioning & performance verification
  • Maintenance troubleshooting support
We can meet with contractors to align delivery with the client’s standards, guide best practices, and help raise quality on site.

Specialised expertise

Targeted support at the points that matter most — before problems become expensive remedial works.

Design Review & Validation

Independent review of drawings, schedules, controls philosophy, and humidity strategy — with clear actions for the design team.

Site Inspections & Oversight

Quality checks during installation to catch airflow, drainage, insulation, and coordination issues early.

Procurement Advisory

Objective equipment selection with an eye on corrosion resistance, spares availability, logistics, and local serviceability.

Commissioning & Handover

Performance verification and commissioning oversight to protect comfort, reliability, and the asset before handover.

Maintenance Support

Resort and estate maintenance advisory — diagnostics, root cause analysis, and practical improvement plans.

Contractor Guidance

On‑site coordination meetings to align contractors with the client’s expectations and best practices — improving outcomes without slowing the job.

Navigating the realities of the Caribbean

Tropical marine environments punish HVAC systems. The failures are predictable — and preventable — when design intent, installation quality, and commissioning are handled properly.

  • Humidity control and latent load management
  • Salt‑air corrosion and material degradation
  • Power quality, protection, and equipment resilience
  • Shipping lead times and long‑term serviceability
Independent oversight pays for itself

We help owners and developers avoid the common traps: undersized fresh‑air systems, poor condensate drainage, wrong insulation strategy, and equipment choices that can’t be supported locally.

Simple process, professional output

Clear steps, clear deliverables, and accountability.
