Industries
Connectivity and smart building networks for property developments.
Design wired and wireless infrastructure that adds value to commercial, residential, and mixed‑use properties from day one.
Make connectivity part of your project’s value
Tenants and buyers increasingly expect great Internet, in‑building coverage, and support for smart building features as standard.
Connectivity challenges in property development
Developers must plan for Internet, Wi‑Fi, building systems, security, and future tenant needs before construction is complete.
Poor or fragmented connectivity can reduce rental values, slow leasing, and make buildings harder to manage over their lifecycle.
What a connected building needs
- Structured cabling & risers: Fiber and copper plant sized for current and future services.
- Building‑wide Wi‑Fi: Common‑area coverage and options for tenant Wi‑Fi where needed.
- Smart building support: Networks for BMS, sensors, access control, cameras, and IoT.
- Tenant flexibility: Designs that let multiple providers and services coexist cleanly.
Services for developers, owners, and operators
Building Internet & backbone
Uplinks and risers that connect building systems and tenants.
Managed Wi‑Fi & DAS options
Wi‑Fi for common areas and, where appropriate, in‑unit options.
Networks for BMS and IoT
Connectivity for HVAC, lighting, meters, sensors, and controls.
Advanced Security & segmentation
Separate tenant, building systems, and public networks safely.
Property development use cases we support
- Spec office buildings: Design base‑build connectivity ready for future tenants.
- Residential & MDU: Provide multi‑gig or shared Internet and Wi‑Fi for residents.
- Mixed‑use projects: Support retail, office, hospitality, and residential in one design.
- Smart buildings: Integrate sensors, meters, and automation into a unified network.
Benefits for developers, asset managers, and tenants
Higher asset appeal: Strong connectivity helps attract and retain tenants and buyers.
Operational efficiency: Smart building networks support remote monitoring and automation.
Lower lifecycle costs: Thoughtful designs reduce rework and tenant‑driven retrofits.
Future‑ready: Built‑in capacity and flexibility for new services and technologies.
Example smart building network layout
Fiber risers connect floors to a central equipment room, with floor switches feeding tenant spaces, IoT devices, and building systems.
Segmentation and security policies keep building controls, tenant traffic, and guest Wi‑Fi logically separate while sharing the same physical plant.
Typical layers
Internet/uplinks → Building core → Floor switches → Tenant/BMS/IoT/guest networks → Cloud apps, property systems, and services.
Property development FAQs
When should connectivity be planned in a new project?
Ideally during early design so risers, spaces, and power can be reserved. This avoids expensive retrofits and ensures systems are ready at handover.
Can you work with our chosen low‑voltage or IT contractors?
Yes. Designs can be handed off or co‑developed with your contractors, providing clear specifications and reference architectures.
