User Requirement Specification - It is critical that when a building control system is being designed that people who will be using the building when it is handed over are at the forefront of the discussions. What they want their building control scheme to do is what must be fully understood. Surprisingly this is often overlooked. We prioritize the development of a user requirement document which fully details what the building occupier expects of the control system. This document should be non-technical. If a clear understanding of what the building user expects of the control scheme can be agreed at this stage there will be a huge payoff in terms of both customer satisfaction and project costs. We believe so strongly in this approach that we will drive the development of this document free of charge.

Functional Requirement Specification - This document takes the agreed completed user requirement specification and uses it to develop the blueprint for the actual control scheme to be delivered. It will detail the hardware and software to be used and will detail the various control strategies to be applied to make the control system function so as to achieve the objectives laid out in the user requirement document.

Site Acceptance Test - This document takes the agreed completed functional requirement specification and documents a series of tests to be carried out post commissioning. These tests will prove that the control scheme functions as detailed in the functional requirement specification. It also checks that the hardware and software has been supplied to the correct specifications agreed in the functional requirement specification.

Supply and Installation - This is the phase of a project where we would supply all of the hardware and software for the system to be installed by the mechanical and electrical contractor. The control scheme supplied by us would typically consist of control panels, software, valves, damper actuators, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, pressure sensors, Co2 sensors and other instrumentation to make the system function as per design.

Pre - commissioning - This phase of the project is where we are available to everybody on a project to assist in the locating of the control items on site. This is important so as all control items are located in their optimum positions to provide the most stable control.
Site Acceptance Testing - When the control system components are all installed we come to site to commission and test the entire control scheme This is done exactly as per the Site Acceptance Test agreed earlier in the project life cycle
