For M&E contractors

A building systems integrator, rather than a traditional controls house.

For over three decades we have written the software that ties heating, cooling, lighting, fire, security, metering and power into one building. Panels, software and engineers are all in Lisburn. Our own panel shop built over 400 panels last year. We have been in business for 34 years.

We are asking for the chance to quote one of your projects and show you how we commission.

Most important

Good old fashioned customer service.

The phone

Our Lisburn office answers it and can see the programme.

Replies

Every call and email gets a reply the same working day.

Every week

Your contracts manager gets a short update.

The engineers

Our commissioning engineers are directly employed.

If there are ever any issues, Philip's mobile is at the foot of this page.

We are accommodating, flexible and agile problem solvers.

When your programme changes, we fix it rather than write letters about it. No excuses, and it never becomes your problem.

What you should expect from us
  • Software fully commissioned off site in a lab that mirrors the job. "We'll sort it out on site" is banned in OKTO.
  • Eight-phase OKTOLabs testing.
  • Two-week soak tests off site.
  • When a room will not heat, knowing the same day whether it is mechanical, electrical or controls.
  • Never being told "there is no driver for that" or that an integration does not exist. If it's a system, it's ours, and we sort it.
  • A price with no surprises. Scope and exclusions line itemised.
The room does not heat

During commissioning our software runs the plant and checks the results against expected outcomes.

Any anomaly with the equipment or the user experience is found and fixed in the lab. When the valve opens and the room does not heat, we know where to look before it is reported.

Your electrician investigates. Pinpoint troubleshooting is a valuable time-saving feature that we deliver as part of our system, and it helps all the trades involved, not just the BMS.

The package
Platform

Schneider or Niagara.

The quotation

Points and interface schedules attached.

Field wiring, valves, actuators and the MCC set out as yours or ours, line by line.

The day we witness

Certificates, backups, graphics, O&Ms and asset data handed over.

Your snag list closes, and stays closed.

Security

Cyber Essentials Plus certified.

Our digital building work is built to ISO 27001 and ISO 19650-5.

Where we work

GB every week. Home when we can.

For the last dozen years we have worked mostly with GB contractors, and we are well used to travelling every week. Our one job at home is with the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, where we are digitising the estate across the Royal and City sites. We would like to do more at home.
