We ut i l ise digit al t echnologies t o provide a single source of inform at ion.
We are compliant with PAS 1192-2:2013, BS 1192:2007 and BS 1192-4:2014. We have successfully achieved verification certification to PAS 1192-2 covering Design and Construction for Level 2 BIM for our design, manufacture, installation and supply of specialist services to the building industry.
Our BIM procedures use advanced software applications to deliver stage models from Stage 3 through to Stage 5, enhancing the stage 5 models to real-world fabrication models.
We are constantly reviewing and enhancing our processes to ensure we deliver accurate models with COBie output available and during the relevant stage, clash detection and collaboration with all design team members.
We take the lead on the co-ordination of the full M&E services and collaborate closely with Architects and Structural Engineers to resolve challenges that arise before the installation starts, saving both time and money.
Embracing the BIM culture has always been seen as an important component of project delivery by Kershaw, providing a collaborative way of working and utilising digital technologies to provide a single source of information. These practices are proven to drive out waste and inefficiencies resulting in smoother and quicker construction processes with less scope for mistakes, disagreements or delays.

Kershaw Mechanical has its own in-house ductwork manufacturing and pre-fabrication facility.
Our workshop in Cambridge is operated by skilled tradespeople who have built up their knowledge and experience of ductwork manufacture and prefabrication over many years, having learnt their craft initially as apprentices via the company's training scheme.
The in-house manufacture also allows us excellent response times to design changes, offsite pre-fabrication of pipework, bracketry, support steelwork and many other bespoke specially fabricated steelwork items.
Benefits of in-house fabrication include:
- Faster scheduling and response to design changes
- Increased flexibility and quicker turnaround times
- Tighter co-ordination of manufacture, quality control and delivery
- Off-site prefabrication- Production of support steelwork- Production of project specific, bespoke
profiles.

Where Passive Fire Protection measures, with their proven fire performance properties, are built in the structure, they provide stability and separate the building into areas of manageable risk (Fire Compartments).

Thermal imaging can be especially useful when assessing new build developments, ensuring there are no underlying issues and ensuring they meet the requirements of Part L2(b) of building regulations.
The use of a thermal imaging camera can identify insulation deficiencies, retained moisture, pipe or flue blockages and so on, all from the temperature differences.
Not only does this help to identify problems, such as dampness, but it also avoids access problems to overhead ducts or cables, as direct contact is not needed.
A proactive thermal survey can identify missed insulation along with other issues, giving the developer and contractor an opportunity to rectify any problems before the purchaser moves in.
The cost of rectifying issues at this stage of the build is minimal, it can eliminate the financial and reputational risk associated with customer complaints and claims and it could help to reduce warranty costs and fees. This is why more and more developers are choosing to get all units thermal imaged prior to handover.

Maintenance and Refurbishment
22
A proact ive st ance is t he best opt ion for keeping your roof in t op condit ion.The roof is an integral component of an often complex building envelope and modern roofing
systems are an important element of a building?s energy efficiency that needs to be maintained.
Modern-day roofing systems all come with a warranty which stipulates the need for an annual check. Failing to do this will invalidate any
warranty.
A planned preventative maintenance programme will help ensure you adhere to your warranty, with any works required carried out in line with
the manufacturer?s guidelines.
However, once an older roof has started to give
rise to persistent problems, you need to consider a partial or full re-roof to solve the issues.
Our team will investigate the existing roof build-up and determine the most suitable system for replacement, providing full technical design
expertise and industry leading manufacturers? warranties.
We will conclude with a series of recommendations including a phased re-roofing
schedule, full scope of works and a detailed budget plan.
