03 / Frequently asked

Commercial — the early conversation.

What does an end-to-end office fit-out cover from your side?

An end-to-end office fit-out covers AV, BMS, structured cabling, fire and PA, IP CCTV, HRMS-integrated access, online UPS and IP-PBX — delivered turnkey or as separate scopes. Boardroom and meeting-room AV (certified Teams or Zoom Rooms), reception video wall, BMS for HVAC and lighting, structured cabling and Wi-Fi 7, fire alarm and PA voice-evacuation, IP CCTV, access control with HRMS integration, online UPS with lithium BESS, and IP-PBX or unified comms. Delivered as one turnkey contract or split as the client prefers.

How many Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms does a typical floor need?

Plan one huddle or focus room per 20–25 staff, one large boardroom per floor and one auditorium-grade event room per building. One huddle/focus room per 20–25 staff plus one large boardroom per floor, plus one auditorium-grade event room per building. The exact mix depends on hybrid-work pattern; we run a pre-design utilisation survey for any office above 200 staff so the count is grounded in actual demand rather than a guess.

Does an office really need a lithium-ion BESS — isn't a regular UPS enough?

Above 50 kVA UPS demand a lithium-ion BESS pays back clearly versus VRLA on floor space, cycle life and lifetime cost — below 20 kVA traditional VRLA can still suit. Above 50 kVA UPS demand, yes. Lithium-ion delivers half the floor space, three to four times the cycle life, and a fraction of the maintenance versus traditional VRLA. For a building running 24/7 critical loads (servers, BMS, critical lighting), the lifetime economics favour lithium clearly. Below 20 kVA, traditional VRLA can still make sense.

Can you integrate access control with our HRMS so leavers lose access automatically?

Yes — we integrate Honeywell, HID, Matrix and Suprema access platforms with Active Directory, SAP HCM and Workday via SCIM or LDAP, so leavers lose access on schedule. We integrate Honeywell, HID, Matrix and Suprema platforms with Active Directory, SAP HCM, Workday and most HRMS platforms via standard SCIM or LDAP. Joiner-mover-leaver events route automatically: a leaver loses building access at 18:00 on their last day, not when someone remembers to deactivate the card.

Can you fit out a corporate office without disrupting the existing teams already working in the building?

Yes — we sequence noisy work to evenings and weekends, isolate active fit-out floors with hoarding, and stage cutovers so occupied teams keep working without surprise outages. We sequence noisy and disruptive work to evenings and weekends, isolate the active fit-out floor from occupied floors with proper hoarding, and stage cutovers so the network, phones and AV in occupied areas are never down without notice. Our site supervisor publishes a weekly look-ahead so the client's facilities lead can warn affected teams in advance.
