Consultancy for the digital built environment

Our digital consultants help you gain a clearer picture of the current situation through expert analysis and set your project on the right path for achieving success.

Our digital tools help uncover potential opportunities or diagnose bottlenecks and highlight areas to prioritise. Whether you are looking to retrofit an existing building, improve a cityscape or build something new, we help you leverage the benefits early consideration offers.

Our work can help provide proof of concept and secure stakeholder buy-in by providing future-gazing analysis of outcomes. Examples of our work at this stage include Vodafone, where our work demonstrated opportunities for the client to save over $40m.

We will work with you at every stage of implementation, whether it is for a new build project at RIBA stages 2 to 6, or the design and implantation of digital systems into buildings/infrastructure/cities/campus (smart assets) and into delivery (digital PMO, IM).

For existing assets, our consultants can advise on the design, procurement and implementation of systems at an organisational level.  We will advise on how a new system should be implemented, in what order, and how to buy it and implement use cases (design).

We can work alongside clients to create a tailored design and support delivery, through a project management office (PMO) model, information management service, or by supporting the necessary procurement. At the building scale, we can design technology infrastructure against use cases.  At the campus/city scale we can also support the design and implementation of information system architecture.

Our services include Digital Twin “as a service”, running the systems/infrastructure “as a service” and the commissioning and running of new build digital systems “as a service”.  

We provide a digital optimisation service and help answer important questions such as ‘how well is it running?’ or GAP analysis.   

For your existing portfolio, we can provide full implementation of our building analytics tools as a digital twin and run digital services “as a service”. 

Once building or infrastructure assets are operational, our specialists can help review, check, and optimise to advise you and ensure everything is behaving as expected and course correct if required. 

Our digital consultants can provide ongoing insights after handover for new builds and projects, providing post-occupancy evaluation of building performance and diagnostic services. Turning building data from digital platforms and dashboards into actionable information can help identify emerging opportunities and solve building performance issues through expert diagnostic analysis. 

For existing buildings, our digital services include analytics, performance diagnostics and optimisation and independent reviews to ensure building managers, investors, and occupiers are getting the most out of their facilities. Examples of our work at this stage include Trinity College Dublin, where our analytics and insights provided the team with new layers of added value through the careful interrogation of data.
