We are Max Fordham, and we bring beautiful buildings to life with beautiful engineering. We are an open business, owned and run by the people who work for us. We are a limited liability partnership, and our business is building services engineering. Our core service combines the traditional mechanical, electrical public health and lift engineering design services, with low energy design and integration of renewable energy technologies. That is the fundamental approach we uniquely take to our engineering. We offer additional special services to meet the full range of needs in developing and delivering complex building projects and masterplans. To deliver our services, we engage with architects, clients and design teams and other relevant stakeholders with a mutual interest in delivering beautiful buildings that work.

For simplicity throughout this notice, ‘we’ and ‘us’ means Max Fordham LLP.
