Delivering smart building projects requires careful planning, technical expertise, and strategic coordination. At this project stage, a range of considerations can determine the success of smart building delivery. These include aligning the deployment with organisational objectives, understanding budget and cost implications, navigating cultural factors, and managing the complexity of integrating new technology with existing systems.
Successful smart building delivery also depends on addressing diverse stakeholder requirements, ensuring interoperability between devices and platforms, and planning for scalability and future upgrades. By carefully considering these factors from the outset, we mitigate risk, optimise operational efficiency, and create sustainable, future-ready buildings that deliver both technical performance and occupant satisfaction.
Key Aspects of Smart Delivery
Scalability and Adaptability
SMaRT solutions should be scalable and adaptable to cater to organisations of all sizes and needs. Whilst the development of a technology stack that avoids vendor lock-in offers greater flexibility and innovation potential and reduces risk.
Retrofitting
A technology strategy focused on flexibility and adaptability will come into its own at deployment in buildings with limitations on where and how physical infrastructure can be installed. Here, the use of adaptive wireless networks and IoT solutions can minimise disruption and maximise flexibility.
Stakeholder Involvement
Successful SMaRT delivery relies heavily on robust project management and the clear identification of roles and responsibilities across all stakeholder groups. Effective communication binds strategic relationships, strengthens buy-in and directly impacts project success.
Data-Driven Decision-Making
SMaRT building technology generates vast amounts of data that can be analysed to gain insights. Value comes from these being meaningful and arising from real-time monitoring and data that is aligned to your KPI and goals.
