Design & Engineering

Build-ready security engineering for projects that need to install cleanly and operate reliably: formal CAD drawings (IFC, Issued for Construction), coordinated with contractors and IT, sized for network/storage, and tied to real response workflows.

Issued for Construction (IFC) CAD drawings + low-level design (LLD) engineering package
Acceptance criteria + commissioning/SAT plan
BOM + power/bandwidth + retention/storage sizing
Coordination with GC, electrical, and IT/network teams
What it is

Design that reduces rework, protects uptime, and keeps ops in control.

We produce Issued for Construction (IFC) CAD drawings and a low-level design (LLD) engineering package that aligns with IT, construction, and security standards. The goal: predictable installs, faster commissioning, and an operating model your team can actually run.

Deliverables include device placement drawings (CAD), camera fields of view, door hardware schedules, riser diagrams, network topology diagrams, and power/bandwidth calculations.

We coordinate with the general contractor, electrical contractor, and IT/network teams so pathways, power, mounting, labeling, and segmentation decisions are resolved before installation.

You also get acceptance criteria and a SAT/commissioning plan so validation is repeatable and audits are defensible.

Outputs

Requirements into build-ready plans

Design is where cost and risk are decided. We translate requirements into Issued for Construction (IFC) CAD drawings, schedules, topology, BOM, and acceptance packs that reduce field ambiguity and long-term support burden across video, access, perimeter (PIDS), and communications.

Core workstreams

What we engineer to make deployment predictable

These workstreams are the repeatable building blocks that keep drawings, sizing, integrations, and acceptance criteria aligned.

Acceptance & commissioning plan

Clear acceptance criteria and a SAT plan so go-live does not become guesswork.

Commissioning/SAT checklist
Operator handoff plan
Validation drills + tuning approach

Coordination (GC / electrical / IT-network)

Align scope and standards with the teams who actually build and operate the system.

Construction constraints + pathways
IT topology + cybersecurity alignment
Power + mounting standards

Drawings & device schedules (CAD)

Issued for Construction (IFC) floor plans that coordinate disciplines so the install is predictable.

Camera FoV + placement drawings
Door hardware schedules
Risers + labeling standards

Network + resilience planning

Retention and storage math, bandwidth, PoE budgets, segmentation, and failover assumptions designed for production workloads.

Monitoring and failover intent
Network topology diagrams
Retention targets + headroom

Systems engineering (ACS/VMS/IDS/PIDS/intercom)

Define how alarms and events move between systems and what 'done' means for audits and operations.

Alarm states + timelines
Integration matrix (native vs API)
Reporting/export requirements

Survey & architectural mapping

Site and perimeter survey focused on pathways, power, mounting, line-of-sight, and environmental factors that drive rework and false alarms.

Floor-by-floor validation
Perimeter walk + constraints
Reuse plan (hardware/panels/pathways)
What's included

Deliverables that make deployment predictable

Core outputs we produce so installs and upgrades do not become one-off science projects.

Issued for Construction (IFC) CAD + engineering package (LLD)

Formal CAD drawings and an engineering package suitable for contractor installation, coordinated across construction and IT standards so the field is not inventing decisions on site.

  • Issued for Construction (IFC) drawings + design review notes
  • Device placement drawings (CAD) + camera fields of view
  • Door hardware schedules + mounting/labeling standards
  • Riser diagrams + pathway assumptions

Implementation plan + project schedule

A build-ready plan that keeps timelines honest: scope clarity, milestones, dependencies, and what "done" means for commissioning and turnover.

  • Design review meeting + sign-off workflow (IT + Security)
  • Final project schedule + milestones
  • Install sequencing assumptions + cutover approach

Bill of Materials (BOM) + sizing math

Quantities and sizing decisions based on production reality: retention, throughput, headroom, and resilience.

  • Bill of Materials (BOM) with alternates where appropriate
  • Power + bandwidth calculations
  • Retention + storage math (headroom included)

Network topology + cybersecurity design

A practical network design that works with IT: segmentation, switching/PoE guidance, and reliability assumptions that reduce outages and upgrade risk.

  • Monitoring + failover intent
  • Network topology diagrams
  • VLAN/segmentation + switching/PoE guidance

Systems engineering (ACS / VMS / IDS / intercom / PIDS)

Engineering across the full stack: access control, video surveillance, intrusion/duress (as applicable), intercom/visitor management, and perimeter/PIDS zoning and response.

  • Alarm routing + escalation + playbooks
  • Clearance model + credential workflows
  • Perimeter/PIDS zone maps + camera pairing
How we deliver

A turnkey workflow that keeps timelines honest

Use this strip to explain how you move from discovery to delivery in a way that feels predictable and grounded.

Discovery
Use cases, risk areas, workflows, policies, stakeholders, and constraints.
Site + perimeter survey
Validate pathways, power, mounting, fence lines, and environmental factors.
Concept design
Coverage strategy, zoning, device types, and integration assumptions.
Detailed design (LLD / IFC)
CAD drawings, schedules, risers, topology, BOM, and sizing calculations; issued as an IFC package.
Design review + sign-off
Review with IT/security stakeholders; incorporate comments and lock the package.
Acceptance pack
SAT/commissioning plan, test cases, and acceptance criteria that survive reality.
Operator review
Walk-through alarms/playbooks; reduce false positives and edge-case failures.
Common add-ons

Extend the design when the environment demands it

Common extensions we engineer without fragmenting ownership, so your operating model stays coherent.

Elevator / turnstile / intercom integration

Tie access decisions to elevator floor control, lobby entry, and intercom workflows without breaking life-safety logic.

Sandbox-first upgrade readiness

Test upgrades, firmware, and integrations in a safe environment before production changes, especially for multi-site programs.

Wireless locks for housing / interior doors

Extend centralized access into interior openings where wiring is disruptive or costly, while keeping unified credentials and audit trails.
