The First Q Network.

European Mechanical & Electrical Consultancy Services network with members from 15 different European countries with a total workforce of over 4,000 people and a combined turnover of over €400 million.

We offer a range of services in traditional service areas such as MEP design and Commissioning as well as emerging solutions areas such as smart buildings, bioclimatic design, building performance and net carbon zero buildings.

The aim of FIRST Q Network is to share knowledge, expertise and resources in the mechanical and electrical consultancy field across Europe. By sharing knowledge from one country to the next it allows each member to dip into a rich database of experience and to use this to help provide world class design in their own country. By sharing expertise it allows members to work across country borders to ensure local compliance is achieved.

First Q members develop their activity organized in several working groups. The active groups and their coordinators are:

Expertise in the network is used to help members pre-qualify for projects in either their own market or foreign markets where they have client contacts. The network is constantly seeking to expand its membership base to add additional international experience, marketing knowledge and specialist skills.
