AexionQ was set up to achieve optimal project outcomes through a holistic approach to construction-related professional services — early involvement of every relevant discipline, so that diverse perspectives and expertise are leveraged from the start.
Rejects linear planning. Adopts an iterative system that considers the continuous interactions between disciplines.
Emphasises the connections between the disciplines and improves communication between professionals and stakeholders.
Takes decisions jointly by all participants, not sequentially down a chain of consultants.
Greater investment of time and energy in the initial design phase, for better coordination of subsequent phases.
Brings budget control and engineering valuation in from the initial stages — giving clear options on the cost impact of design decisions before they are taken.
AexionQ is not itself a fire, M&E, architectural or QS practice. It is the entity that assembles those practices around a project, runs the team, holds the contract, and gives the client a single point of accountability across all of them.
The right specialist firms put together for the specific project — architecture, engineering services, structural, QS, fire and life safety, conservation. Contracted in by Aexion and managed as one team.
The day-to-day management of the design team across every stage. Framework manager, single point of contact for the contracting authority, performance reporting, dispute resolution and continuous improvement.
A designated lead document controller ensures information received and issued is disseminated to the right parties at the right time. Quality systems coordinated across all consortium firms under ISO 9001:2015.
Tender preparation, bill of quantities, contract preparation and issue, evaluation of returns, recommendation to the client. Aligned with GCCC Public Works Contracts and current Standard Conditions of Engagement.
Pre-construction methodology, an in-depth inspection plan for each element, regular site attendance, soft-start arrangements, RAMS and infection-control protocols where required, and payment certification against agreed milestones.
Coordinating Ancillary Certifier (BCAR) duties, third-party verification, and the full handover document set — O&M manuals, user instructions, training records, opinion on compliance — to a standard the certifier of compliance can accept.
AexionQ works with multiple specialist firms under each discipline. Rather than a fixed roster, we put forward the best-suited team for each specific project — drawing on established relationships right across the Irish construction sector.
Design, planning and Grade 1–3 conservation architecture for protected structures and Section 5 applications.
Structural design, opinions on openings through structural and masonry walls, and assigned-certifier capability.
M&E engineering design, specialist emergency lighting, and damper & services integration.
Fire strategy, active & passive systems design, BCAR ancillary certifier (fire) and third-party verification.
Cost planning, bill of quantities, procurement, contract preparation, tender and payment certification.
Health & safety coordination in design and construction across the project lifecycle.
Inspection, certification and the BCAR document trail through to a grant the certifier can accept.
Document control and information management to the client's Exchange Information Requirements (EIR).
Acoustic, environmental, planning, cost-management and other specialists, engaged as a brief requires.
The client contracts with AexionQ. We hold the design team, the document control, and the accountability. The client does not chase a roomful of separate consultants for an answer.
The fire engineer is in the room with the architect, the M&E engineer, the QS and the structural engineer from the first design meeting — not three stages later when the geometry is fixed.
Greater investment up front means coordinated documentation at tender, fewer RFIs in construction, and a measurable reduction in remedial or abortive works late in the programme.
We respond to first enquiries promptly, usually with a phone call from a principal rather than a proposal pack. Initial discussions about a possible commission are at no obligation.
