Innovative Value Engineering

At Beattie Air, we help builders, main contractors, and property owners get more from their HVAC investment without unnecessary costs. Our value engineering process focuses on reducing waste, optimising system efficiency, and delivering long-term performance—without cutting corners.

We don’t just design HVAC systems – we solve problems before they happen. Whether you need an energy-efficient heating system, precision climate control for a commercial facility, or HRV ventilation that meets strict compliance requirements, we engineer solutions that fit your project’s needs, budget, and timeline.

Using detailed load calculations, advanced 3D modelling, and lifecycle cost analysis, we ensure every system is designed for maximum efficiency and minimal maintenance, reducing future operational costs and preventing costly redesigns down the track.

Why It Matters

• Lower Operating Costs – Reduce energy consumption without sacrificing performance.
• Faster Project Delivery – Avoid delays with designs that integrate seamlessly with other trades.
• Future-Proofed Solutions – Systems that meet today’s standards and tomorrow’s challenges.
• No Surprises – We think ahead, so you don’t have to deal with unexpected costs or performance issues.

Mechanical & Hydraulic Engineering

Smart, Efficient, and Integrated System Design

At Beattie Air, we specialise in the design, coordination, and installation of high-performance mechanical and hydraulic systems that meet the exacting demands of commercial and industrial projects. Our team works closely with builders, main contractors, and engineering consultants to ensure seamless system integration, optimised performance, and long-term cost savings.

What We Deliver:

• End-to-End Engineering – From concept design to commissioning, we provide fully integrated HVAC and hydraulic solutions that enhance system efficiency and reduce lifecycle costs.
• Precision & Compliance – Our designs adhere to NZBC, AS/NZS standards, and industry best practices, ensuring full compliance with all project requirements.
• Energy Efficiency at Scale – Whether it’s a large-scale HVRF system, hydronic heating, chilled water loops, or heat recovery ventilation, we engineer solutions that reduce energy consumption and lower operating costs.
• Seamless Coordination – We collaborate with structural, electrical, and fire engineers to eliminate conflicts and streamline project delivery.

By leveraging detailed system modelling and BIM coordination, we design mechanical and hydraulic systems that are not just efficient – but built for performance and maintainability.

Seismic Design Expertise

Engineered for Compliance, Safety & Resilience

At Beattie Air, we offer in-house seismic design expertise to ensure your commercial HVAC installations meet New Zealand’s stringent seismic compliance standards. Our Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) leads the design process, providing PS1 through to PS4 certification, ensuring full compliance with NZS 4219:2009 and Building Code requirements.

Why Seismic Design Matters:

• Regulatory Compliance – Avoid costly delays and non-compliance issues with properly engineered cost-effective seismic restraints.
• Structural Safety – Protect building occupants and assets by ensuring HVAC systems remain secure during seismic events.
• Minimised Downtime – Robust seismic solutions reduce damage risk, keeping essential building systems operational post-earthquake.

Comprehensive Seismic Solutions:

• Seismic Restraint Design – Tailored solutions for ductwork, piping, and mechanical plant.
• Structural Load Analysis – Calculation of restraint forces to meet compliance standards.
• Component Attachment Design – Ensuring all HVAC elements are securely fixed to supporting structures.
• Site-Specific Compliance – Customised seismic strategies based on regional seismic risk factors.

We work closely with builders, consultants, and main contractors to deliver cost-effective, code-compliant, and structurally sound HVAC seismic solutions.

Regulatory Compliance

Built to Standard. Engineered for Assurance.

At Beattie Air, compliance isn’t just a box to tick—it’s the foundation of everything we do. Our HVAC designs and installations meet and exceed New Zealand’s strict regulatory standards, ensuring your project is fully compliant, risk-free, and built for long-term performance.

What We Guarantee:

• NZS 4219:2009 Seismic Compliance – All seismic restraints for HVAC equipment, ducting, and piping meet national safety requirements.
• NZ Building Code Compliance – We adhere to H1 Energy Efficiency, G4 Ventilation, and G12 Water Supplies regulations for optimal building performance.
• Mechanical & Hydraulic Standards – Our systems align with AS/NZS 1668, AS/NZS 3666, and AS/NZS 5601 for air movement, hygiene, and gas fitting compliance.
• Certified Documentation – We provide PS1 – PS4 certifications, Form 12A compliance statements, and full documentation to support project approvals.

Why It Matters:

• Avoid Costly Rework – Fully compliant designs prevent regulatory setbacks and unexpected project costs.
• Streamlined Approvals – We provide all necessary documentation, making it easier to secure council and regulatory sign-offs.
• Risk-Free Installation – Our adherence to industry best practices and statutory requirements ensures safe, efficient, and fully approved HVAC installations.

Partner with a team that knows compliance inside and out.

Producer Statements (PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4)

Full Certification for Compliance & Peace of Mind

At Beattie Air, we provide comprehensive producer statements to ensure your HVAC installation meets New Zealand’s strict compliance requirements at every stage. Our in-house engineers and project managers work closely with consultants, main contractors, and regulatory bodies to streamline approvals and eliminate compliance risks.
