About us

Climate change is without a doubt the greatest challenge we face in these times. When it comes to cutting carbon, current commercial building standards don’t go far enough. As it stands around 40-percent of energy-related greenhouse emissions come from buildings. We believe we can change that. Sustainability is part of our DNA. We are on a mission to build Zero-Carbon buildings that can sustain better lives for many generations. We are striving to raise the global standards of our industry whilst building better spaces and places for the world. Founded in 1978, CPW’s philosophy is one of innovation, creativity and technical expertise. Our experience as an industry leading mechanical, electrical and low carbon consultancy has ensured people and businesses realise their vision. With many offices in important locations around the country and over 230 world-leading experts offering a wide range of services, we deliver exemplary engineering solutions to national and international clients across a broad range of sectors. Let’s work together to bring buildings to life, minimising their impact on the world, whilst maximising the sense of enjoyment that people get from them. CPW - Where buildings come alive.

    It isn’t very often you build a new HQ and this building does it all! BREEAM Excellent, cost efficient, built for modern ways of working and the catalyst of a new community in the centre of Nottinghamshire with 800 new homes now underway! The culmination of some incredible hard work by many different skilled teams across Nottinghamshire County Council and Arc Partnership, and I’m extremely proud of them all. To complete a £20M build in just over 12 months is rare in the construction industry and my thanks to the whole project team and Morgan Sindall Construction for making that a reality. Modern fit for purpose buildings and offices mean more money protected for services and the added bonus of being able to anchor regeneration where it is most needed. The first Full Council meeting today at Oak House marked a significant moment and the sun ☀️ even came out! Jonathan R Marriott BSc (Hons) PG Dip Mgt MRICS James Lewis Emily Leverton Matthew Antill

    An insightful day at the UHEI Conference and Exhibition Series 2025! 👏 Our Director of Sustainability, Stephen Ball, took the stage to discuss the importance of #netzero in the built environment. His talk ran through the key principles, as well as exploring the new UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard (#UKNZCBS), the challenges around grid decarbonisation, and what they mean for future developments. These are critical discussions shaping the future of estates management, and we were proud to be part of them! Directors Antonios Agapakis (Birmingham City Centre Lead) and Carl Standley (Oxford & London Lead) also attended, making it a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry peers and project partners while exploring innovations in smart buildings, sustainable solutions, and much more. Carl shared his thoughts: "What a fantastic day! It was a great opportunity to hear more from the University of Oxford on their vision to transition to a Smart campus and deliver digital transformation across their estate. All the presentations and panel discussions throughout the day were packed with great insight." A huge thank you to UHEI for hosting such a valuable event—see you there next year! 💚 #UHEIOxford #NetZeroCarbon #Sustainability #Decarbonisation #WeAreCPW

    We are thrilled that this month Melissa Ballyn-Edwards, our Training and Development Coordinator, received an award for 'Excellence in Skills Partnerships' in the Skills West Midlands & Warwickshire Awards. Melissa was nominated by UCB and this award recognises outstanding work in collaboration between CPW and Further Education and training providers.    Melissa shares: “As a company, we are committed to nurturing and developing the next generation of sustainable engineers, and this wouldn’t be possible without the excellent work of our college partners. This award is testament to the great relationship we have with colleges like UCB and I’m so pleased to see this recognised! Thank you to Deb Bunce, Rosa Wells and Emma S. for the continued opportunities to collaborate with UCB, I am excited to work with you further in the future.”   The event brought together local business leaders, key business advisory and college and training providers, to highlight the vital role of skills development in driving economic prosperity, and was attended by Minister for Skills Jacqui Smith and West Midlands Mayor Richard Parker.

    If you can’t beat em… I usually take the Train to Oxford, but decided to hop on my £20 lockdown purchase (I’m not a cyclist) to get about the city today. A quick pedal to Osney Mead allowed for an engaging meeting with Jesús Lizana from The ZERO Institute - University of Oxford and CPW colleague Hannah Kissick discussing all things #netzero. I enjoyed the alternative travel today and now the weathers improving it won’t be the last time. Finally let’s hope we can get the electrical infrastructure upgraded in order to achieve the transition to net zero. #decarbonsiation #netzero #weareCPW

    Celebrating Employer Excellence in Skills Development! A huge congratulations to CPW, a key employer partner of University College Birmingham, for receiving the Employer Recognition Award at the one-year anniversary celebration of Skills West Midlands & Warwickshire. This well-deserved recognition highlights CPW’s outstanding commitment to skills development, student progression, and workforce growth in the region. Their dedication to nurturing talent and providing hands-on industry experience sets a benchmark for employer engagement in education. The award was presented at a fantastic event attended by Minister Jacqui Smith, West Midlands Mayor Richard Parker, and leading voices from education and business. The celebration marked a year of impactful collaboration between further education colleges, training providers, and industry partners—all working together to bridge skills gaps and strengthen workforce development. It has been brilliant to work with Melissa Ballyn-Edwards on developing new apprenticeship training to support the next generation of Building Services Engineers. Her commitment is not only benefiting CPW but also supporting other regional employers in recruiting and training apprentices who are now able to enrol at University College Birmingham. A special mention to Emma S., Executive Director FE Quality Enhancement, who joined Melissa at the event to celebrate this achievement and Deb Bunce who has worked closely with Melissa and CPW to develop the new apprenticeships. A brilliant event, led and co-ordinated by Suzie Branch-Haddow - thank you!

    Recently we sat down with Director and Birmingham City Centre Lead, Antonios Agapakis, to get his take on the world of construction, and Higher Education projects, as part of our Education Campaign.  Opening up about life as an engineer, and navigating challenges of an ever-evolving industry, Antonios shares: “I don’t let things weigh too heavy on me, and I like to take a glass-half-full approach to life. I try to bring that same energy into my work as much as I can. It’s important to find joy in what you do and appreciate what you have—that’s why I’m so passionate.” His advice for aspiring engineers? “Stay curious, stay flexible, and never stop learning. Engineering is constantly evolving, and the ability to adapt is what sets great engineers apart.” Read his full interview here: https://lnkd.in/eNNsf3NF #ConstructionCareers #MEPengineering #HigherEducation #Birmingham #BuildingDesign #Buildingthefuture #WeAreCPW
