As a Smart Building Consultancy, we are essential to ensuring built-form environments leverage technology effectively to enhance project outcomes and maximise building performance in areas such as networks, safety, security, sustainability, AV, operational efficiency and end-user experiences.
Our approach is as much about introducing new innovative technologies as it is about mitigating the traditional risks of poorly implemented technologies that have not been properly designed, procured or commissioned.
Similar to how an environmental consultant defines and coordinates project sustainability outcomes, we play an equally vital role in integrating technology across every aspect of your building design. We help to define how technology will add value, and all technology-related components of your building will be effectively designed and implemented.
After assisting with the development of a technology design brief and project budget, our process is to holistically coordinate and provide input to key components of technology for each building services engineering design. We then take on the design and implementation project management lead for specialised technology areas such as IP networks, Wi-Fi, building data platforms, telecommunications services, security systems, AV systems, environmental sensors, mobile apps, software applications and building systems integrations.
We help your project team by effectively acting as your
1.
Principal Technology Consultant;
2.
Technology Project Manager; and
3.
Independent Technology Commissioning Agent.
We understand what it takes to succeed.
Having worked for decades with hands-on technology project management experience, we recognise the complexities and nuances of what is required to create successful project outcomes.
Meld understands that the effort required to apply technical engineering is far less than the actual human engineering required in leading, communicating, planning and negotiating successful project outcomes with consultants, builders, contractors and operators who are unfamiliar with technology.
In our consulting role, we facilitate and take accountability for a coordinated design approach to the specification, implementation and delivery of specialised technologies into a building, workplace or precinct’s design across a range of engineering and technology disciplines.
Our technology skill sets enable us to help your project team by...
1.
Balancing a deep understanding of human behaviours, desired user experiences, design aesthetics and operational requirements;
2.
Implementing creative technology design solutions that are user-friendly and cognisant of the pragmatics of constructability.
We work seamlessly as a part of your project team.
We work seamlessly as a part of your project team to explain, coordinate and de-risk all areas of technology design. We typically coordinate with the development team, marketing team, architect, services engineers, ESD consultant, builder, contractors, suppliers and other key stakeholders.
Meld has developed and evolved a unique Smart Building Design methodology based on the phases of Strategy, Design and Implementation.
Our streamlined processes recognise that achieving excellent design outcomes requires a solid strategic approach founded on extensive hands-on experience, comprehensive research, a deep understanding of various stakeholder value propositions, clear documentation and a diligent, pragmatic implementation capability.
We love applying our knowledge and expertise of technology to help our clients achieve market leading design outcomes.
