IT

IT is a crucial part of the fabric of modern buildings and must be considered at the outset of any construction project. 

We can help you plan, design and oversee the installation of the IT elements that will enable the advanced technology services and applications that developers, tenants, hotel operators and residential owners demand.

New build, refurbishment, and relocation projects are important opportunities to assess and implement new and transformative technologies. But integrating technology into a building is a complex undertaking involving many different stakeholders. Our consultants work closely with architects, designers, integrators, and installers to design, procure, and oversee your IT project from end to end.

Passive and active IT

We deliver a full range of IT services, incorporating passive and active IT. Passive IT includes the cabling and comms room design, which is the foundation for your IT infrastructure throughout the building. In contrast, active IT includes wide area network (WAN) and local area network (LAN), including Wi-Fi connecting applications, systems, and the wider world.

Specifying the IT technology at the beginning of the project will help ensure that your project will run on budget and schedule. Our close attention to detail ensures your vision is correctly implemented when the project is delivered.

End-to-end projects

We are fully aligned with the RIBA Plan of Work from the strategic definition through to the project handover. Specifying the IT technology at the beginning of the project will help ensure that your project will run on budget and schedule. Our close attention to detail ensures your vision is correctly implemented when the project is delivered.

Our consultants will coordinate the IT design with the building works and integrate the installation process into the build. We can work as the overall project manager to ensure that the project plan incorporates the installation of all cabling and IT infrastructure. Our attention to detail helps ensure a snag-free delivery at handover.
