The best time to resolve a problem isn’t when ductwork arrives on site.

At Essex Thermal Services, every project benefits from the expertise of our dedicated in-house CAD Manager, who works closely with our pre-construction team to identify potential issues long before our manufacturing or installation teams become involved.

As soon as we’re appointed, the team reviews the full project information, including specifications, equipment schedules, DWG drawings, BIM models, fire strategies and other technical documentation, building a complete understanding of the design before production begins.

This process allows us to:

• Identify clashes between building services
• Highlight potential compliance issues
• Resolve coordination queries with the wider project team
• Reduce the risk of costly design changes
• Avoid unnecessary delays during manufacture and installation

By investing time in planning and coordination upfront, we help ensure our ductwork is manufactured correctly first time, minimising disruption on site and giving our clients greater confidence in programme delivery.
