What we do
Digital
Projects, developments and buildings that are understood through their data.
We specify and deliver the information systems that run a project, the platform that runs a developer’s sales, and the technology that runs the finished building.
Three applications of the same discipline
Digital work in the built environment divides into three parts. The first governs how a project is managed: the models, the common data environment and the reporting that give every party one version of the truth. The second governs how a development is sold and administered: the inventory, contracts and payments that turn a building into revenue. The third governs how a building performs once it is occupied: the systems that control it, secure it and measure it.
On the project side we set the information requirements, structure the common data environment, and establish model standards and reporting so that design, cost and programme data can be relied on rather than reconciled. Where clients work to ISO 19650, we align the information management process accordingly.
On the developer side we are an authorised partner of Apsell, a sales and operations platform built for companies that develop residential complexes. Each complex, block and apartment is held in a single record, and every apartment is tied to its sales order, so that availability reflects every signed contract and is not reconstructed from spreadsheets. Instalment plans are calculated from the developer’s own pricing tiers, with the deposit, monthly and residual payments scheduled automatically. Construction requisitions, resident service charges and accounting run on the same record, so that sales, finance and management work from the same figures. We configure the platform to the client’s projects and pricing, migrate existing sales records, and train the sales and finance teams who use it.
On the asset side we specify, procure and commission integrated building systems: building management and controls, energy and climate, access and security, audiovisual, and the supporting network infrastructure. Systems are specified with their service and support arrangements in place, so that the technology remains serviceable in the market where it is installed.

Technology that is supportable where it is installed
A specification that cannot be serviced locally becomes a liability at the first fault. We confirm certification, local support and spare parts availability before a system is specified, and we hand over the documentation, credentials and training the operator needs to run it. The same test applies to software: before a platform is implemented, we confirm that it supports the client’s language, currency and reporting requirements, and that support is available in the market.
