How we work

From first survey to the after-hours call.

Most of our projects run the whole way through: investigation, design, construction, programming and commissioning, then support.

  1. 01

    Investigate

    Survey the site, the plant and the controls already in place.

  2. 02

    Design

    Control strategy, hardware selection, switchboards and graphics.

  3. 03

    Build

    Fabrication, installation and any decommissioning of redundant controls.

  4. 04

    Program

    Controller programming and integration with fire, mechanical and third-party plant.

  5. 05

    Commission

    Test, tune and hand over a system that does what the design says.

  6. 06

    Support

    Remote and on-site support for the life of the building.
