Architects & Designers
An engineering partner for architects and designers.
Your vision, strengthened by our engineering. From architecture through MEP to completion, we coordinate automation, lighting control, audio, climate and networks with your design — so the technology supports the design intent rather than compromising it.

How we work with your practice.
Education
Clear explanations of what current systems can do, so options are understood early.
Architecture to MEP
Coordination of containment, cabling, controls and plant space before first fix.
Learn more →Interiors
Keypads, sensors, loudspeakers and devices placed in coordination with the interior design throughout.
Overlooked opportunities
We review drawings for automation and MEP opportunities that are easier to design in now than add later.
A broader service
Engineering depth that helps you offer clients a more complete design service.
A flexible, project-specific role.
On some projects we manage our scope as our own project. On others we work as an extension of your project team, reporting through your process. The role is agreed per project, in writing, before work begins.
Three ways to begin.
A new bespoke project
A design at concept or developed design stage, where systems can still be coordinated cleanly.
Discuss your project →Improve or recover an existing system
A completed project where a client's system needs attention. We assess it and agree a recovery scope.
Request a technical assessment →Maintenance and support
Ongoing care for your clients' systems, within a tailored scope agreed after assessment.
Request a technical assessment →From vision to maintenance.
