Watkins Payne

Watkins Payne was originally formed as a traditional partnership in 1970. Since then, the practice has steadily expanded its knowledge and expertise to offer a comprehensive building services consultancy service with two offices located within Central London and Surrey. Since we have greatly expanded our expertise and capability in the sustainability sector, providing WELL, NABERS UK, whole life carbon and BREEAM roles, amongst others across the UK. In May 2022, the business transferred to a limited company 100% owned by an Employee Ownership Trust. We are members of the Association of Consulting Engineers, British Council for Offices and UK Green Building Council. Qualifications held by various members of staff include membership of the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), The Institute of Engineering and Technology, Energy Institute, Institute of Mechanical Engineers, Institute of Lighting Engineers, Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering, CIBSE Certified Low Carbon Consultants, WELL Assessors, BREEAM Assessors, Fitwel Ambassadors, NABERS Assessors and more. Our reputation and success is built on a philosophy of Director, Operations Director and Associate Director involvement from project inception right through to practical completion. There are currently a total of 7 Directors, Operations Directors and Associate Directors which creates a relatively high senior management to staff ratio which we consider essential in order to adhere to this ethos. This level of engineering commitment ensures appropriate standards of engineering innovation and integration of commercially viable building services solutions. The drive and enthusiasm from the senior management team maintain our relationship as pro-active members of the design team.
