DESIGN
Amtech software is used for cable calculations and confirmation that discrimination is guaranteed.
We work closely with a number of manufacturers who will ensure lighting design matches the criteria required. This is an ever changing page in what can be offered in terms of lighting products. The scope of lighting controls is developing constantly. We keep abreast of what is available by regular contact through the manufacturers and developers.
Specialist sub-contractors are engaged to assist in the best design solutions for elements such as access control, CCTV, intruder alarms, TV distribution, data and lightning protection.
We have worked on a number of jobs with high BREEAM targets so have a good understanding of the electrical implications in achieving the target scores and ideally bettering them.
When necessary, determined by commercial factors, we will engage the services of a local consultancy to assist with the design process but will still remain an integral part of the process.
Our in house CAD operators can quickly transfer ideas to paper for discussion and subsequent agreement.
