Project Planning & Estimation

Brief intake, phase Gantt, specification tiers and AMC tier matching.

Before any technical sizing happens, the project needs a defensible structure. The brief wizard takes six questions and triggers a written reply within two working days. The phase visualiser maps a typical project across our seven delivery stages — brief, survey, design, BOQ, install, commissioning, handover.

Specification tiers document what changes between basic, premium and enterprise across design, brand stack, redundancy and documentation. AMC tier selection matches your operation's risk profile against Bronze, Silver, Gold or Mission-Critical SLAs.

01Lead intake

Project Brief Wizard

Six structured questions, a written response within two working days. The fastest path to engaging the practice on a real project.

6 questions · 2-day replyOpen tool
02Discovery

System Need Finder

Building type, stage and goals in — the disciplines to consider and the documents to share first out. Advisory; not a scope or BOQ.

Advisory · qualitativeOpen tool
03Readiness

Consultation Prep Checklist

Assemble the drawings, site information and people to prepare before the first conversation. Copyable; a preparation aid, not a scope.

04Site planning

Industrial & Tea-Estate Technology Planner

Site type, zones and what's ready in — which systems to coordinate (CCTV, PA, access, networking, UPS, fire/ELV), what to prepare and a readiness view out. Advisory; no counts, layouts or pricing.

05Coordination

Architect Brief Builder

For architects, consultants and project teams — assemble a plain-language coordination brief. A draft input, not a statutory submission.

06Drawing readiness

Drawing & BOQ Readiness Checker

Check whether your drawings, schedules, BOQ/spec status, site access and project team are ready for a systems conversation. Advisory; no pricing, quantities or final scope.

CCTV Readiness Checker

A readiness self-check before a surveillance conversation. No camera counts, no placements, no coverage maps, no compliance pass/fail.

08Readiness

Access Control Readiness Checker

A readiness self-check before a door-access or attendance conversation — door-survey status, credential considerations, integrations, privacy-policy and operations readiness. No door counts, layouts or reader placement; statuses only.

09Handover

System Handover Readiness Checker

Score a project's handover readiness across as-builts, test records, O&M manuals, warranties, spares, training, credential transfer and the AMC decision — and get the chase list to close the gaps. Statuses only; no credential capture.

10BMS · Readiness

BMS Readiness Checker

A readiness self-check before a BMS conversation — which plant systems to supervise, how BMS-ready the existing controls are, and whether the network, operations team and documentation are in place. Statuses only; no points counts, plant capacities or network detail.

Advisory · readinessOpen tool
11BMS · Readiness

BMS Energy & Fault-Response Readiness Planner

A readiness self-check for turning building-management data into detected faults, sent alerts and closed actions — metering & visibility, fault classes as monitoring categories, and the response process behind the alarm. Statuses and bands only; no plant capacities, no simulated events, no kWh, rupee or savings figures.

Advisory · readinessOpen tool
12Security · Readiness

Security Control Room Readiness Checklist

A methodology-level readiness self-check before a security-monitoring-room conversation — facility profile, scope and integration status, and operations readiness (SOPs, training, escalation, AMC). Statuses and bands only; never camera counts, operator positions, layouts or response tactics — the room design stays with your security consultant.

13Healthcare · Readiness

Healthcare ELV Readiness Checker

A readiness self-check for a hospital, diagnostic centre or clinic coordinating nurse call, CCTV, access, fire alarm + PA, network, patient TV and BMS for critical HVAC — with the gap list and who owes what. Statuses and bands only; no bed counts, layouts or camera specifics.

14Education · Readiness

School & Institution AV/ELV Readiness Checker

A readiness self-check for a school, college or training campus coordinating classroom AV, campus PA & bell scheduling, CCTV, access & attendance, network and fire awareness across its spaces — with the gap list and who owes what.

Smart Home Discovery Wizard

For villa and apartment owners — pick your home, the zones that matter and the experiences you want, and map a coordination scope and room checklist. Not a final design, device count or security layout.

Hotel Technology Planner

Pick the property archetype — boutique, 4-star, 5-star, resort — and the planner maps each space (guest floor, lobby, banquet, F&B, spa, BoH) to systems, AP density, AV grade and lifecycle cost.
