In the post-covid world, the traditional pattern of work has changed forever. Where once ‘working from home’ was considered a shirk from real work, today it has become an expected and embraced part of the working week. This newfound freedom is welcomed by many workers meaning businesses must find the best way to support hybrid working practices in order to attract and retain talent.
Our team understands that the best way to entice workers back to the office is to provide an environment that makes it worth their while. Unified Communications (UC) and systems that enable room booking and reservation of a hot desk and car parking, plus frictionless Bring Your Own Device connectivity utilising high-quality audio-visual systems and collaborative touch screens combine to support hybrid workflows, making a visit to the office more valuable.
A Smart Building is not just about clever technology, it must support the needs of tenants and improve the effectiveness and well-being of the workforce. Building users are becoming more discerning about the space they occupy with levels of acceptance having risen dramatically in recent years. Businesses are demanding more from the office environment seeking to optimise space utilisation and increase organisational efficiency. Sustainability must be integrated across all aspects of every project, whilst future proofing against the ever-changing demands of owners, users, and technology.
Our team will help you address all these important issues, identifying the needs of all stakeholders to design, coordinate and deliver the technology and interior space to meet those needs. The Internet of Things (IoT) introduces limitless opportunities to improve efficiencies through measurable sensor-based data, helping to cut costs and minimise carbon footprint.
The modern home is no longer just a place to reside but a home of multiple needs and a variety of user profiles from toddlers through to teenagers, adults, and the elderly, each with differing requirements from technology.
Technology that’s used to entertain can also provide security and reduce energy usage – a necessity if we are to meet climate change targets. Our smart home design will know when you are out and automatically lower the heating, cycle the lighting, and arm the security system. It will also know when you are on your way home to trigger the heating, recall lighting scenes appropriate for the time of day and disable the security system.
Not everyone is tech-savvy however, and the smartest home design knows that Grandma will only ever understand a traditional on-off switch in every room, forever dismayed as the kids tease her with voice-controlled lighting!
The work-from-home phenomenon has fuelled demand for high-spec technological living and landlords are investing to attract the best tenants. Developers of Multi Dwelling Units (MDU), both re-fits and new builds, are integrating multiple smart layers of infrastructure incorporating AV/IT, HVAC and lighting systems, security and access controls, both in residential spaces and communal amenities.Our team draws on its vast multi-disciplinary experience to provide developers and landlords the peace of mind that their technology infrastructure is future-ready for the even the most demanding residents. We are fastidious about efficiency, designing replicable modular designs for roll out across thousands of units of different sizes. Our early consultancy and first-fix cabling integration ensures the minimum CAPEX, whilst centralised control supports easy, resource-efficient management of all systems across the estate to reduce operating costs.
