Mechanical Engineering & HVAC Contractor in Egypt
Efficient Mechanical Systems Built for Long-Term Performance
Mechanical Engineering: the short answer
Mechanical engineering covers the systems that cool, heat, ventilate and control a building. Laurent designs and delivers HVAC, central plant, chilled and heating water, exhaust and DDC control systems for residential, commercial and industrial projects across Egypt, from load calculations and equipment selection through installation oversight, testing and commissioning.
Problems we solve
Equipment that is the wrong size
Oversized plant wastes money and energy; undersized plant fails on the hottest days. We size from calculated loads.
High running costs
System selection, zoning and controls are chosen for lifetime operating cost, not just installation price.
Poor air quality and ventilation
Engineered exhaust and fresh-air systems for kitchens, car parks, laboratories and occupied spaces.
Systems no one can control
DDC controls give your facility team monitoring, scheduling and remote management from day one.
Scope
What our mechanical engineering service includes
HVAC System Design
Complete heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems for thermal comfort, air quality and energy performance across all zones.
Central Plant Design
Centralized cooling and heating plant for large-scale requirements, integrated with the building’s mechanical infrastructure.
Exhaust System Engineering
Exhaust and ventilation for commercial kitchens, car parks, laboratories and industrial spaces.
Direct Digital Control (DDC) Systems
Automated control of mechanical systems with real-time monitoring, energy optimization and remote management.
Chilled Water System Design
Reliable, energy-efficient cooling and distribution for medium and large buildings.
Heating Water Systems
Controlled, efficient heating water systems designed for reliability and easy maintenance.

Why Laurent
Why clients choose Laurent for mechanical engineering
01
Sized by Calculation, Not Rule of Thumb
Every system starts with a load calculation for your building’s orientation, glazing and occupancy, not a tonnage per square meter guess.
02
Designed for Egypt’s Climate
Long, hot summers and coastal humidity in Alexandria shape our equipment selection, dehumidification and corrosion protection.
03
Controls Engineered In, Not Added On
DDC strategy is part of the design from the start, so sensors, valves and wiring are planned rather than retrofitted.
04
Plant Rooms Planned for Maintenance
We lay out equipment with service access and replacement routes, so your systems are as easy to maintain as they are to run.

FAQ
Mechanical Engineering: frequently asked questions
How much does an HVAC system cost in Egypt?
HVAC cost typically depends on the building’s cooling load, the system type, equipment brand and efficiency, ductwork extent and controls. A villa split system and a chilled water plant for an office building are very different investments. Share your drawings and usage and we will recommend a system and prepare a costed proposal.
What is included in mechanical engineering services?
Mechanical engineering services include load calculations, HVAC and central plant design, chilled and heating water systems, exhaust and ventilation, and DDC controls. Laurent also prepares drawings and specifications for approvals and tendering, supervises installation, and tests and commissions every system before handover.
Which HVAC system is right for my building?
The right HVAC system depends on building size, usage pattern, available plant space and budget. Split and VRF systems typically suit smaller or zoned buildings, while chilled water systems suit larger buildings with central plant. We compare options against installation and running cost for your building before recommending one.
How long does HVAC design and installation take?
Timing typically depends on building size, system type, equipment lead times and the progress of construction. Design is usually shorter than procurement and installation, and imported equipment can set the pace. We confirm a programme once the system is selected and order long-lead equipment early.
What codes do you design mechanical systems to?
We design mechanical systems to Egyptian codes and relevant international standards for HVAC, ventilation and energy performance. The specific standards applied depend on building type and client or authority requirements, and we confirm them in the design brief so everyone works to the same criteria.
