An independent review of your plans and available brief, focused on security gaps, missing requirements and coordination issues.
What the review includesA review of an existing design is a defined engagement. Creating a complete design is scoped separately.
Experience behind the advice
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.
