Banyards Secures Three Major London Commissioning Validation Projects

We are delighted to announce that Banyards has recently been appointed to deliver MEP commissioning validation consultancy services across three prominent London buildings: Cottons Centre, Prospect House, and 1 Wardour Street.

Cottons Centre

At Cottons Centre, instructed by G&T, Banyards is carrying out a Full MEP Validation Survey. Our remit is to identify redundant services that can be safely removed, adapt existing landlord systems, and coordinate the provision of new services for forthcoming retail unit fitouts and CAT A commercial refurbishments. Located on the south bank of the Thames near London Bridge, this nine-storey U-shaped building is undergoing phased upgrades, and our validation work is essential to enabling these transformations.

Prospect House

Appointed by Savills on behalf of the client, Banyards is undertaking a comprehensive validation of the existing Mechanical, Electrical, and Public Health (MEP) systems at Prospect House. Our work focuses on verifying system performance, confirming compliance with current standards, and ensuring the building meets its intended design criteria. Our commissioning specialists are working closely with all stakeholders to ensure that every aspect of the MEP infrastructure supports operational efficiency and long-term reliability.

1 Wardour Street

Banyards has also been appointed by Savills to deliver MEP survey, design, and project consultancy for the planned refurbishment of 1 Wardour Street. Our current activities involve detailed assessments of existing MEP systems, providing recommendations for enhancements, and supporting the design process for the planned upgrades. Situated at the corner of Wardour Street and Coventry Street, this five-storey office building is being prepared for significant refurbishment, with Banyards ensuring all technical services are robust and future-ready.

We are proud to be trusted by our clients to deliver these critical services and look forward to playing a key role in the transformation and optimisation of these landmark properties.
