Independent security planning, design & assurance

Security planning.
Part of your building design.

We help architects, engineering consultancies and project teams define security requirements, coordinate them with the building design and review the delivered outcome.

Start with the plans you already have

A Security Design Review
before your next decision.

An independent review of your plans and available brief, focused on security gaps, missing requirements and coordination issues.

What the review includes

Clear feedback for your design team

  • Design markups linked to the plans reviewed
  • Security and interface gaps that need a decision
  • Prioritised recommendations and next steps

A review of an existing design is a defined engagement. Creating a complete design is scoped separately.

Experience behind the advice

Practical knowledge that belongs in the brief.

Since 2017, our work has connected access control, CCTV, intercoms and building systems across a range of operating environments. That delivery experience helps us ask the questions that matter while a project is still on the drawing board.

We use applicable Australian Standards to inform the agreed design criteria. International projects combine that discipline with local requirements and site conditions.

The experience behind SNE
