The normal way to buy building technology is in four separate trade packages: AV in one, HVAC in another, appliances and connected systems in the others. Each subcontractor adds their mark-up and subs it on. Each area needs managing, and by the time you see the cost, each package has very likely been marked up more than once, and you’re left to coordinate whoever turns up on site.
This is where time and money tend to disappear, spread across duplicated prelims, a site-management team coordinating four (or more…) subcontractors, the delay when one of them slips and drags the build, and the rework and retention arguments at completion.
Buying technology in disconnected packages tends to get expensive quickly. They’re priced by people who aren’t responsible for the risks, and who tend to want to be off-site as quickly as possible, which doesn’t always leave much appetite for rectifying problems.
And until now, it has been the only way to do it…
Four separate packages. Multiple subcontractors. Higher risk.
We give you one QS-friendly package across the scheme’s technology scope, including our own supply chain, so you have one set of prelims and one point of contact, and a full end-to-end service priced to protect your margin.
We’re accountable for coordinating the whole technology scope, including our own supply chain, so your site team isn’t managing four subcontractors or supervising communication between them.
We’re accountable for the dates and we work to stop one package slipping and eating into your margin, building the compliance and O&M evidence as we go.
You get a handover pack with the compliance and O&M evidence already in it, and one support route after practical completion, so the build is less likely to be dragged by snagging and retention across your technology packages.

How you package your technology scope is a pre-construction decision. Four competitive packages look like the safe route, but the cost appears later, in your margin, your programme and the date the building opens.
