Engineering firms require a unique blend of pristine office space and practical technical areas. Design studios, project rooms, and testing labs all have different environmental requirements, yet they must work together as a cohesive whole. Linvex understands these demands and creates environments that support both the precision of design work and the practicality of technical operations.

Understanding the Engineering Workspace

Engineering businesses are diverse — from civil and structural consultancies to electronics manufacturers and aerospace specialists. Despite this variety, they share common workspace requirements:

  • Technical precision — drawing review, CAD work, and detail design require excellent lighting and ergonomic workstations
  • Collaboration — engineering projects involve multidisciplinary teams that need to work closely together
  • Specialist environments — laboratories, workshops, and testing areas with specific environmental controls
  • Client presentation — the ability to present complex technical information clearly to clients and stakeholders
  • Robust infrastructure — reliable power, data, and environmental services

What We Deliver

Design Studios and Drawing Offices

CAD workstations and drawing offices need:

  • High-lux lighting — at least 500 lux at desk level, with excellent colour rendering for accurate detail work
  • Large-format screens — desks and workstations designed to accommodate dual or triple monitors
  • Adjustable furniture — sit-stand desks and fully adjustable chairs for long design sessions
  • Print and plot areas — space for large-format printers and plotters, with adequate ventilation

Project and Collaboration Rooms

Engineering projects benefit from dedicated collaboration spaces:

  • Project rooms — large tables for drawing review, pinboards for programme information, and wall-mounted screens for BIM and design review
  • Meeting rooms — with AV technology for remote collaboration with clients and project partners
  • Informal collaboration zones — breakout areas where quick discussions and problem-solving can happen spontaneously

Technical and Laboratory Spaces

Where engineering firms operate testing or prototyping facilities, we provide:

  • ESD-controlled environments — anti-static flooring and workbenches for electronics and sensitive equipment
  • Heavy-duty flooring — epoxy coatings, safety flooring, and industrial-grade finishes for workshops and labs
  • Specialist ventilation — extraction systems for soldering, adhesives, and other processes
  • Robust power infrastructure — three-phase supplies and high-capacity circuits for testing equipment

Client-Facing Spaces

Engineering firms need to impress clients with their professionalism and technical capability:

  • Presentation rooms — equipped with large-format displays, projection, and video conferencing for remote stakeholders
  • Reception areas — showcasing your brand, projects, and expertise
  • Model display areas — for physical models, prototypes, and project samples

IT and Data Infrastructure

Engineering workflows generate large data volumes. We install:

  • Structured cabling — high-speed data networks with plenty of capacity for CAD files and BIM models
  • Server rooms — climate-controlled, secure enclosures for on-premises IT infrastructure
  • Wi-Fi coverage — comprehensive wireless networks across all work areas
