HVAC Design and Engineering

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.

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.

Fixed-Fee Pricing & Early Budget Estimates

Budget Certainty from Concept to Completion

At Beattie Air, we understand that cost clarity is crucial for main contractors, quantity surveyors, and commercial property owners. That’s why we offer both fixed-fee pricing and early-stage budget estimates, helping you make informed financial decisions from the outset.

How We Support Your Budgeting Process:

Early Budget Estimates – We provide preliminary cost assessments based on project scope, helping quantity surveyors and project teams align budgets before detailed design begins.
Fixed-Fee Pricing – Once designs are finalised, we lock in transparent, all-inclusive pricing, eliminating unexpected variations.
Cost-Saving Advice – Through value engineering, we identify ways to optimise performance and reduce long-term operating costs without compromising compliance.
Accurate Forecasting – Our estimates are based on real-world project data, ensuring realistic, competitive pricing that aligns with market conditions.

By partnering early in the design phase, we help project teams avoid budget blowouts and make cost-effective HVAC decisions that support overall project success.
