So the room, the door and the schedule agree with each other.
We also do this work in hotels and in township and public buildings.
Building automation and smart-building controls for commercial buildings across Michigan.
Lighting, room and building controls tied into one system with one point of accountability — so the room, the door and the schedule agree with each other.
We are not tied to a manufacturer. Controls are chosen for the building and the budget and tied together where they can be, and we tell you before you buy when two systems will never talk to each other.
What the building can do
The outcomes, not the parts list.
Questions we get
Short answers. The long ones happen on the site walk.
What does "one system" actually mean?
One interface for the things your staff touch, and one contractor accountable when the pieces disagree. Behind it, each system keeps doing its own job. The point is that nobody in your building has to know which vendor to call.
Can you tie into the building management system we already have?
Often. It depends on what your existing controls can share; BACnet, a way building controls exchange information, is the common case. We find out on the site walk and tell you what is possible, and what is not, before we quote.
Lighting control for an office or a plant?
Both. Occupancy and daylight control in offices for energy and comfort; scheduled and zoned control in plants and warehouses. Wired where the ceiling is open, wireless where it is not.
Is this the same as off-the-shelf smart devices?
No. Commercial controls are built for schedules, occupancy and maintenance, on the same network and cabling standards as everything else we install, and they are documented and handed over like any other system in the building.
Who fixes it when something stops responding?
We do. For clients who want it, a written service agreement sets out what we look after, the response and resolution commitments we agree with you, and a record of every call. If another contractor installed it and walked away, we will take it over, document it properly, and stand behind it from there. How a takeover goes. Remote health monitoring is available under the agreement.
The other systems
Controls run on the network and the cabling underneath it.
Tell us about the building. We will walk it with you.
A site walk is free and takes about an hour. What follows is a written scope and a firm, itemized number.
In occupied buildings we work in zones, off-hours and weekends, around shifts and store hours.
Your building stays your business. We do not publish client names or locations, and what we see on a site walk stays between us.
Outside those hours, the form and the ticket page still reach us. A ticket marked Down is treated as an emergency and goes ahead of scheduled work.
Thank you. We have your request and will be in touch to walk the building with you.
