Get the low-voltage right while it's still on paper.
Independent design and review for video surveillance, access control, structured cabling and networking — for new multi-family buildings, strata, offices and private homes. We don't sell hardware and we don't install it, so the advice is only ever about what the building needs.
Problems are cheapest on the drawings.
Most low-voltage failures are decided before anyone pulls cable: a camera with no sightline, a door with no fail-safe, a riser with no room, a network that was never on the schedule. We find them on the drawings, where the fix is a pencil line, and write the specification so whoever installs it can't miss.
All consulting servicesVideo surveillance
Camera layouts designed from the drawings — sightlines, resolution and retention decided before a bracket goes up — and checked on site.
Access control & entry
Door-by-door design against the hardware schedule — reader, lock, fail state, egress — specified so any installer builds it the same way.
Structured cabling
Pathways, riser space and cable schedules designed while the walls are still on paper, and rough-in inspected before the drywall closes.
Networking
Segmentation, PoE budgets and closet design for a building network that keeps security, building systems and residents apart.
From a two-hundred-suite tower to a single front door.
The same discipline applies whether the drawings come from an architect or the request comes from a strata council: understand what the building needs to do, design for it, and specify it so it can be built and maintained.
More on eachMulti-family
Towers and low-rises from drawings to occupancy — reviewed, specified and checked alongside the electrical contractor, the hardware consultant and the schedule.
Strata & HOA
Planning the replacement of systems that have aged out — what to keep, what to replace, how to tender it — in buildings that stay occupied.
Office buildings
Tenant improvements, suite access, cameras and networks specified so the fit-out contractor builds what the tenant actually needs.
Homes
Cameras, entry and networking designed to be simple to live with and easy to hand to the next owner.
Luxury homes
Security, entry and network infrastructure designed alongside the architect and interior designer, and specified to the standard of the finishes around them.
Five steps. One set of eyes on all of them.
Every step produces something you can hold — a marked-up drawing set, a device schedule, a specification, a site report, a commissioning record. That paper trail is what the installer prices from and the owner maintains from.
The full processDrawing review
The architectural, electrical and door hardware sets read together, and every low-voltage conflict marked up before tender.
Design & specification
Device schedules, riser diagrams, pathways and a written spec any qualified contractor can price.
Tender support
Bidder questions answered, quotes levelled, submittals checked against the spec.
Construction review
Site visits at rough-in and trim-out, a photo record, and a deficiency list before the installer leaves.
Commissioning & closeout
Witness testing, as-builts verified, and a package the owner can maintain from.
Advice that isn't attached to a sales quote.
Most low-voltage designs are done by whoever is selling the equipment, and most reviews are done by nobody. The owner finds out at occupancy that the cameras don't see the door and the fobs don't open the parkade.
We sit on the owner's side of the table. That is the whole idea.
Someone checking the work who isn't doing the work.
Site visits at rough-in and trim-out, submittals reviewed against the specification, deficiencies listed before the installer leaves — so what was drawn is what gets built.
How an engagement runsSend us the drawings.
A drawing set out for tender, a building whose systems have aged out, or a home still on paper — any of those is the right time to call. The earlier, the cheaper.
