We manage the full mechanical design and construct scope, coordinating with builders and consultants from design through completion.
In-house system design using recognised heat load calculation software, covering HVAC, ventilation, exhaust and associated mechanical systems.
Engineering-led plant selection and sizing across VRF, packaged, chilled water and condenser water systems, matched to building load and requirements.
Practical design review to identify cost-effective system solutions without compromising performance, compliance or long-term reliability.
Production of shop drawings and coordination drawings issued early to protect programme timelines and resolve clashes before construction begins.
Direct coordination across builders, consultants and specialist trades to align mechanical services with the broader project scope.
Design and installation aligned to NCC and relevant Australian Standards, verified through structured commissioning.
Design certificate issued under Queensland legislation confirming mechanical services design complies with relevant standards, prior to construction commencing.
Completion certificate issued under Queensland legislation confirming mechanical services works were carried out in accordance with the approved design and relevant standards.
Complete as-built drawings, equipment schedules and commissioning records issued at handover for ongoing asset management and compliance audit.









We deliver Design & Construct mechanical services across new builds, refurbishments and commercial projects throughout SEQ. From system design to installation and certified handover, projects are delivered with structured coordination and full compliance.


Mechanical services built for operational reliability and long-term performance.

Common questions about working with Chill Merchants across Brisbane and South East Queensland.
Design & Construct means taking responsibility for both the engineering and the delivery of the mechanical system.
Rather than installing from a fully documented consultant design, we develop the HVAC solution in-house, including system selection, heat load calculations, ventilation strategy, plant sizing, drafting, and compliance alignment with the National Construction Code and relevant Australian Standards.
One of the major advantages of D&C is efficiency. Working directly with the mechanical contractor often produces more cost-effective and practical solutions, as design decisions are informed by installation experience. This can reduce overdesign, avoid unnecessary plant sizing, and streamline programme delivery.
A potential disadvantage is that like-for-like tender comparisons can be difficult, as different contractors may propose different system designs or plant selections. This makes transparency and documentation critical.
True D&C means owning both the design intent and the installation outcome.
Correct system sizing begins with accurate heat load calculations.
We use recognised Australian industry software such as Camel Heat Load to assess cooling and heating demand based on occupancy, building envelope, ventilation requirements, and internal loads.
From there, we select appropriate plant — whether VRF systems, packaged units, chilled water systems, condenser water systems, or hybrid configurations — depending on the building scale and operational requirements.
Oversizing leads to short cycling and reduced equipment life. Undersizing results in performance complaints and operational strain.
Engineering-led sizing ensures the system performs efficiently and reliably over its intended service life.
D&C projects require structured documentation to support compliance and construction delivery.
This typically includes:
Where required under Queensland legislation, Form 15 (design certificate) and Form 12 (inspection certificate) certification may be issued for mechanical services works.
Clear documentation supports compliance, programme control, and long-term asset management.
Successful D&C delivery relies on early and ongoing coordination.
We work closely with builders, project managers, architects, and other consultants to ensure mechanical systems align with structural supports, roof loading, plant locations, electrical capacity, fire services interfaces, and hydraulic services.
Shop drawing coordination is a critical stage. Early identification of clashes protects programme timelines and avoids costly redesign during construction.
D&C projects are delivered under structured supervision and project management, with defined accountability from design through to commissioning.
Design & Construct mechanical services work in Queensland requires appropriate QBCC Mechanical contractor licensing where works exceed regulated thresholds.
Chill Merchants currently operates under a limited mechanical design licence and delivers design responsibility within those scope limits. For larger or more complex projects, we collaborate with qualified mechanical engineering consultants to ensure design compliance and appropriate certification pathways.
Electrical works are delivered under licensed Electrical Contractor authority, and refrigerant handling is performed by ARCtick licensed technicians.
Design responsibility carries legal accountability. Proper licensing, structured engineering oversight, and compliance alignment are fundamental to delivering D&C projects lawfully and professionally.
