Using simulation and 3D modelling, we realise the potential of these technologies by feeding into advance design process which leads to the interactions between every design element and designers. BIM is a protype of infrastructure or city systems, site or building. It gives designers an opportunity to assess and simulate any aspect of a design’s performance prior its construction, providing better and easier comprehension of the design.

Because BIM is an intelligent project modelling tool, it allows for continuous evolution even post asset handover to the client. It thrives on information ranging from wind and material forces to water pressure in plumbing systems, helping teams and clients to understand implications of choices, opportunities and constraints. BIM becomes a 4D model as it brings greater precision to project feasibility, schedules and cost, becoming 5D with cost and quality.

We use GIS to capture, manage, manipulate, analyse, model and display spatially-referenced data for solving complex planning and management problems. GIS helps to display information, integrate data with graphic-based information and different data sets, as well as with sections of projects. This helps our clients to manage assets geographically, identify opportunities, adapt and reduce risks for the future. Our team combines this expertise with BIM, which helps them focus on outcomes ranging from planning business logistics to predicting floods. We make GIS solutions accessible which demystifies data, making its potential clear in the process.

Our GIS solutions provide pin-point accuracy with real-time reporting accuracy, hence improving risk forecast and prompt response. This, amongst others, helps to mitigate probable ground movement on major infrastructure. Our systems bring specialists and stakeholders together for development of better of solutions.

As infrastructure becomes increasingly complex with power and data networks, bandwidth due to security requirement, lighting control and building management, so must be wireless, wired and cabling capacity, in order to cater for all devices including smartphones and tablets. More bandwidth is required to meet device development, compliance, cloud computing and data analytics. This helps meet requirements of simplicity, service assurance and agility. At the core of this is skills.

Our multidisciplinary teams, working closes with different networks users, turn these into a solid set of requirements, power and space as well as network and cabling specifications which provide a shared context for ICT Infrastructure.

We provide smart solutions through taking advantage of technology and our skills across the built environment. By harnessing system and data interconnectivity, we create smart building that optimise our clients’ performance, maximising occupants’ comfort while improving energy efficiency. This allows for a simpler and better performance of buildings for all its users. This is also enhanced through software systems integration hence increasing productivity in the process.

As organisations get increasingly overwhelmed with both inward and outward data flows, our teams power this data through answering commercial questions, providing important insights and creating a single point of reality. This helps our clients to react and predict patterns and trends of the future, covering all aspects of information spectrum ranging from data collection and analytics to reporting and presentation.

Our teams conduct full project analysis to determine both financial and economic viability of projects. This helps clients – both in the private and public sector – to determine project affordability and make successful investment decisions. Private sector clients have their focus on financial returns while public sector clients are adamant about value for money. To this end, we conduct full due diligence including financial modelling and cost benefit analysis, as well as full risk analysis while we help clients identify revenue streams in the process. This eases sound decision-making in the built environment, helping projects remain on top of commercial, technical as well as operational issues.
We challenge clients to interrogate the following questions:
Do projects tie with public policy targets?
Do they deliver intended financial and economic outcomes?
Do projects assure financial and commercial feasibility?
Can the client afford the project in the long run?
Will the project be affected by changes in public policy and markets movements?
What is the procurement and commercial model to deliver a project?
