BMS & Integrated Command Center

The challenge

The owner needed a building management system (BMS) to monitor and control the building services across its towers, and an integrated command and control center (ICCC) to oversee the whole complex from one place. Both are specialist systems: the owner had to choose, brief and manage a technical consultant to design and implement them.

What we did

As with its ICT design, we worked on the client’s side. We helped the client define what it needed from both systems, select the consultant to design and implement them and translate its needs into technical requirements, then managed the consultant’s work and submissions on its behalf.

Through design and implementation

• Selection: helping the client choose the consultant for both systems.
• Requirements: the client’s needs, set out in technical terms.
• Design: the consultant’s submissions managed and reviewed for the client.
• Implementation: the consultant’s work overseen on the client’s behalf.

One view of the complex

The BMS brings the building services across the towers into one system. The ICCC goes further, bringing the complex’s systems together in one control room, so the operations team can see and manage the whole site.
