Security

Physical security remains vital to buildings. User-friendly protection for your employees, tenants, visitors, and assets is crucial to building design and operations.

Security involves multiple technologies like CCTV, access control, and intruder detection. We can help you plan and design the best security for your building and tenants.

Secure buildings require both physical and digital security. Control over who can access your office, hotel, or residential development is essential to protect intellectual property, staff, and guests.

However, security requirements vary widely between different companies. Even something as simple as office access can vary from a card reader at the front door to facial recognition and two-factor access control with different building zones isolated from one another. This requirement varies between industries and even companies within the same sector.

It’s essential to strike a balance between security and user experience. Making a security system easy to use will help get buy-in from tenants, guests, and users and ultimately improve overall security. For example, integrating security credentials with users’ mobile devices can achieve this.

Understanding your security requirements

As security consultants, our first step is to undertake an audit and survey to assess the risks to your business and understand your security objectives. This allows us to devise a security strategy to mitigate these threats. Typically, this would include comprehensive surveillance, access control, and intruder detection systems.

We also assess how these security measures impact on building design, security master planning, and urban design. This is an important step, as security needs to be designed into the construction plan from the outset.
