Smart building

Fully integrated digital services and smart building technologies are essential in modern developments.

Smart buildings are more attractive to occupiers while improving operations and sustainability. We can help you choose and design the technology and services that meet your specific requirements.

They can help optimise energy usage, meet environmental goals, and improve occupants’ comfort. Smart technology can also improve building maintenance by using sensors to monitor equipment for preventative maintenance and to minimise downtime. Occupiers increasingly expect to see smart enablement and infrastructure when carrying out due diligence on potential new buildings.

A wide range of infrastructure, technologies, and extensive systems integration are required to enable smart buildings. They include the Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to collect data in real-time from across the building, data analytics to make decisions based on this data, and building management systems (BMS) to provide control over the heating, lighting, cooling, alarms, and security systems.

Helping you make the right choices

Our consultants will design a system to meet your specific needs and help integrate the elements of the smart building systems. Our expert help will ensure that you have a futureproof system, whether a new build or a retrofit in an older building. Cybersecurity is a vital part of smart buildings, and we can advise on the best approach to protect the development and its tenants.

We are fully aligned with the RIBA Plan of Work, from the strategic definition to the project handover. Our team can act as the overall project manager to ensure that all the elements of the design are installed in line with the building schedule to minimise delays and ensure IT compliance.
