Building Services (M&E) RAMS – AI Risk Assessments for Mechanical & Electrical Contractors

Create professional M&E RAMS documents using AI. Built for mechanical and electrical building services contractors — HVAC engineers, refrigeration specialists, ventilation installers, BMS / controls integrators, pipework insulation contractors, and consulting M&E engineers. Every document is aligned with the F-Gas Regulations 2015, the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 (PSSR), CIBSE guidance, BESA standards, and the ECA scheme requirements where applicable.

Key Features

  • AI-Generated Content – Describe the M&E scope and the AI produces a complete RAMS covering project details, risk assessment, method statement, PPE, training, COSHH, and emergency arrangements tailored to building services works
  • M&E-Specific Hazard Library – Pre-built hazards covering refrigerant handling, working at height in plant rooms, hot works on pipework, manual handling of plant, confined space entry to risers and ductwork, and electrical isolation of M&E plant
  • Regulatory Compliance – Documents reference the F-Gas Regulations 2015, PSSR 2000, the Work at Height Regulations 2005, CDM 2015, BS EN 378 (refrigeration safety), BS 5970 (pipework insulation), and CIBSE TM44 inspection guidance
  • Plant Lifting Aware – Where AHUs, chillers, or other plant items need craning into position, the document prompts for a LOLER 1998 aligned lifting plan reference
  • Professional PDF Export – Print-ready, branded A4 documents with risk matrices, plant-specific arrangements, and sign-off blocks ready for client and principal contractor submission
  • Digital Sign-Off – Collect operative signatures on-site with full audit trail, version history, and timestamped declaration records for client and certification audit evidence

Building Services Work Types Supported

  • HVAC Plant & Equipment – Air handling units (AHUs), fan coil units (FCUs), variable refrigerant flow / volume (VRF / VRV), chillers, heat pumps, and packaged plant
  • Refrigeration & Cooling – F-Gas refrigerant handling, leak testing, charge / recovery, cold rooms, walk-in fridges, and process cooling systems
  • Ventilation & Ductwork – Supply and extract ductwork, kitchen extract canopies (DW172), smoke ductwork, and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR)
  • Pipework Insulation – TIMSA-aligned insulation of LTHW, CHW, DHW and steam pipework, plant insulation, and frost protection
  • BMS & Controls – Building management systems, DDC controls, BACnet / Modbus integration, sensors, valves, and commissioning
  • Domestic Hot Water & Heating – Calorifiers, unvented cylinders, district heating interfaces (HIUs), low-temperature hot water (LTHW), and pressurisation units
  • Plant Room Installation – Plant skid assembly, header arrangements, pump sets, expansion vessels, and PSSR-notifiable pressure systems
  • Commissioning & Witnessing – Air balancing, water balancing, system flushing to BSRIA BG29, control loop tuning, and Soft Landings handover

UK Building Services Regulatory Compliance

Every M&E RAMS document is aligned with current UK regulation, British Standards, and industry guidance:

  • Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases Regulations 2015 (F-Gas) — engineer certification, leak testing intervals, and refrigerant record-keeping
  • Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 (PSSR) — written scheme of examination for relevant LTHW, steam, and compressed gas systems
  • Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
  • Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015)
  • Work at Height Regulations 2005 — for plant rooms, roof plant, and high-level ductwork installation
  • Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) — where AHUs, chillers, or plant items are craned into position
  • BS EN 378 — refrigerating systems and heat pumps, safety and environmental requirements
  • BS 5970 — thermal insulation of pipework, ductwork, and equipment
  • CIBSE Guide M, TM44, and Commissioning Codes A–W

Industry & Scheme Alignment

Documents are structured to support the evidence requirements of the main M&E sector trade bodies and certification schemes:

  • CIBSE — Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers
  • BESA — Building Engineering Services Association (ductwork, refrigeration, service & facilities)
  • ECA — Electrical Contractors' Association (where the M&E package includes electrical works)
  • REFCOM — F-Gas company certification for refrigeration contractors
  • BSRIA — commissioning guides BG29 (flushing), BG49 (commissioning management) and Soft Landings framework

Who M&E RAMS is For

Building Services (M&E) RAMS is a paid module designed for specialist mechanical and electrical contractors who need to produce audit-ready RAMS documents for every job. Typical users include HVAC contractors, refrigeration engineers, ductwork installers, pipework insulation specialists, BMS integrators, building services consultancies, and main M&E contractors operating across commercial, healthcare, education, and industrial sectors. The module sits within the Building Services sector and is the right home for VRF / VRV, chiller plant, AHUs, and large-scale refrigerant work that the general Construction RAMS engine deliberately redirects out.
