Specialist focus
District heating and heat-network infrastructure are the core proposition, not one service line in a broad consultancy.
About DHS
Specialist
by design.
DHS brings together specialist design engineering, commercial control and hands-on project delivery within one organisation dedicated exclusively to district heating.
Meet the core teamWho we are
One team. One company. The full delivery chain.
DHS brings design engineering, commercial management, supply, installation, commissioning and lifecycle support together within one organisation dedicated exclusively to district heating.
The proposition is deliberately independent. DHS can work alongside clients, operators, contractors and consultants without needing to optimise advice around network ownership or energy supply margin.
Commercial discipline
QS-led thinking is connected to technical scope, procurement, tender clarity and change control.
Delivery reality
The team understands the site, commissioning and handover implications of decisions made much earlier.
Independent advice
No network ownership or energy supply agenda sits behind the recommendation.
Heritage
Design and commercial capability, focused solely on district heating.
DHS brings together the useful parts of legacy design and QS capability, then focuses them around the specific demands of district heating infrastructure.
District heating design, heat pump integration, CAD/3D modelling, energy centres, CDM and phased delivery planning.
Quantity surveying, cost planning, BoQ, tender support, contract administration, risk management and Principal Designer experience.
A single specialist proposition for heat network design, commercial management, installation, commissioning evidence, compliance and lifecycle support.
Leadership
Built to deliver.
A senior leadership team with decades of combined experience across district heating design, cost management and infrastructure delivery, supported by specialist departments covering every discipline required for end-to-end heat network projects.
That core leadership stays consistent around each brief, while DHS draws on a flexible network of trusted specialist operators and practitioners as project demand changes. It means the business can scale resource around the work required - from focused technical reviews to fuller delivery support - without losing senior oversight, project memory or accountability for the outcome.

Evidence board
Credibility is built through project evidence, not broad claims.
The DHS story is strongest when it stays close to what project teams need: drawings, scope, risk, tender evidence, commissioning records and performance signals.
Technical evidence
Routes, plantrooms, controls, metering, HIUs and energy-centre assumptions made visible.
Commercial evidence
Cost plans, BoQs, tender scope and change records linked to the technical route.
Delivery evidence
Installation, commissioning and handover records protected while the work is live.
Operating evidence
Controls, monitoring, metering and resident outcomes considered beyond practical completion.
