System design & CAD
Property-specific heating and hot water designs, plant layouts, schematics and coordinated CAD information for the wider project team.
Designed for the project.
Supported on site.
One technical partner for residential heating and hot water design, product selection, compliance support and commissioning—while you keep the freedom to use your preferred subcontractors.
For residential developers
Complete system support.
More delivery freedom.
Q Smart specialises in renewable heating solutions for new-build housing and apartment developments.
We design the system, produce coordinated CAD drawings, select and supply the complete equipment kit, train your site team and support commissioning. Your chosen mechanical subcontractor installs the system and adds the pipework and fittings needed to connect it together.
That gives you a clear technical standard without tying the project to one installer or one manufacturer.
Customer service that keeps the project moving. Dedicated account and technical contacts, clear communication and an agreed design programme give your team support from specification to commissioning. Explore our 72-working-hour heat pump design service; multi-plot developments and detailed CAD packages are scoped to your programme.

We review the whole system to find the best balance of performance, compliance, buildability and project cost.
SAP, Part L & EPC support
We work alongside your SAP consultant so the selected products and design information support the required Building Regulations Part L and EPC outcomes.
Complete equipment kits
Q Smart provides the designed system kit. Your subcontractor supplies the connecting pipework and fittings and carries out the installation.
On-site training & support
Practical training, installation guidance and technical support help any competent appointed subcontractor deliver the design correctly.
Commissioning support
On-site commissioning support verifies setup, controls and operation, helping the completed system perform as intended.
Our residential specialisms
A solution for every
home and apartment.
Different property types need different technology, layouts and control strategies.
We compare the practical options at design stage and build the right system around the dwelling, the SAP strategy, available plant space and the experience you want residents to have.
Housing
Air source heat pumps
Complete low-temperature heating and hot water packages for individual homes, designed around heat loss, emitters, cylinder demand and controls.
Apartments
Fully internal heat pumps
Apartment-ready solutions where external units are impractical, with design support for plant space, ventilation, hot water and coordinated services.
Flexible comfort
Heating and cooling
Reversible systems for houses and apartments, designed around the required comfort strategy and suitable distribution equipment.
Hot water
Hot-water-only heat pumps
Dedicated domestic hot water solutions for projects where space heating is provided separately.
Value engineering
Engineer the system.
Not just the product.
We challenge the full specification before cost and complexity become fixed into the build.
Right-sized from the start
Heat demand, flow temperatures, emitters, hot water demand and controls are considered as one working system.
Designed for the site team
Plant space, service routes, electrical requirements, access and phasing are reviewed so the design can be delivered in practice.
Choice without compromise
We compare suitable manufacturers and system options to remove unnecessary cost while protecting design intent and compliance.
