BUILDING SERVICES CONSULTANTS

CAS Building Services Consultants is a consulting practice established as a sole proprietorship by Eng. Channa Soysa. Initially, the firm focused on consulting and design engineering for water supply and drainage, air conditioning and ventilation, fire protection and detection, LP Gas, as well as low voltage (LV) and extra-low voltage (ELV) systems. However, the company has since expanded into new areas, including acoustics. Eng. Channa Soysa takes pride in his involvement in these projects.

Our Vision

To be the leading provider of innovative, sustainable, and efficient building services solutions, empowering modern infrastructure with cutting-edge designs in plumbing, air-conditioning, ventilation, fire protection, and electrical systems. We aim to enhance comfort, safety, and energy efficiency in every project while fostering long-term partnerships built on trust, expertise, and excellence.

Plumbing services
  • System Analysis & Planning: Assess water supply, drainage, and waste disposal needs. Perform load calculations to ensure correct pipe sizing and system capacity.
  • Code Compliance: Ensure designs comply with plumbing codes (e.g., IPC, BS, CIBSE) and environmental regulations.
  • Water Efficiency: Incorporate low-flow fixtures, greywater recycling, and rainwater harvesting for sustainable systems.
  • Collaboration: Work with architects, civil engineers, and MEP teams for seamless integration.
Air-Conditioning & Ventilation Services
  • System Design: Assess climate, building needs, and occupancy levels. Select systems (centralized, split, VRF) that balance performance and efficiency.
  • Load Calculations: Perform heat and cooling load calculations using tools and standards (ASHRAE).
  • Air Quality: Design ventilation to provide fresh air and reduce contaminants.
  • Energy Efficiency: Incorporate technologies like heat recovery and variable-speed drives to optimize energy use.
  • Air-Conditioning: Central systems, split systems, chillers, heat pumps, and ductwork for efficient air distribution.
  • Ventilation: Fresh air intake, exhaust systems, and specialized ventilation (e.g., kitchen or industrial spaces).
  • Automation: Control systems like thermostats and Building Management Systems (BMS) for efficiency.
Fire Protection & Detection Services
  • Risk Assessment: Identify hazards and plan tailored fire safety strategies.
  • System Design: Develop fire suppression (sprinklers, gas suppression) and detection (smoke, heat detectors) systems.
  • Code Compliance: Ensure designs meet fire codes (NFPA, BS) and integrate emergency lighting and communication systems.
  • Collaboration: Coordinate with architects and MEP teams for system integration.
  • Suppression Systems: Wet/dry sprinklers, gas systems, foam systems for industrial use.
  • Detection Systems: Smoke and heat detectors, alarms, and notification devices.
  • Passive Protection: Emergency lighting, signage, and smoke control systems.
LV & ELV Electrical Service
  • System Planning: Determine electrical needs and develop tailored layouts.
  • Design & Integration: Design power distribution, lighting, communication, and control systems.
  • Compliance: Ensure adherence to electrical codes (NEC, IEC) and safety standards.
