M&E The Building Services Event
10-11 October 2006 Olypia, London

Visitors to this year’s event can get the inside track on the latest products, services and best practice examples in the industry.

The SummitSkills training academy returns, providing technical information on key industry issues, including getting to grips with the new Part L and new sustainable technology opportunities.

This year’s event will run alongside five other exhibitions: the AMPS Power Expo, Sustainable Energy and Energy Efficiency Expo, Total Workplace Management and Context, reflecting the importance of the m&e sector to all stakeholders.

ABS stand A55

Visit Autodesk Building Systems (ABS), at the M&E Event for a demonstration of the AutoCAD-based building design and construction documentation software application for building services engineers.

Working with tools especially designed for m&e engineering users can increase efficiency by reducing tedious drafting tasks and minimising errors and clashes. The automated production of construction documents means a faster move from design to documentation and design data can be re-used when linking into industry-leading analysis, cost estimation and fabrication software applications.
