Remote ELV, ICT, security and audiovisual design for Swiss commercial, residential, healthcare, education and data centre projects in Zurich, Geneva, Basel and Bern.
We support architects, engineering offices, developers and contractors with coordinated ELV drawings, schedules, specifications and BIM/CAD deliverables. Fire protection follows the VKF fire insurance guidelines and the SN EN 54 series where specified, and CCTV is designed to the revised Swiss data protection law.
Eight core systems, designed as one coordinated package for Swiss projects.
Addressable fire detection and alarm design to SN EN 54 and the VKF fire insurance guidelines, as the project specifies where the project specifies it, with zoning, cause-and-effect and interfaces to access control and HVAC.
Fire alarm designCamera coverage, recording and storage sizing, and VMS integration, designed with the revised Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) in mind: field of view, masking, retention and access control.
CCTV designReader, controller and credential architecture, door schedules and integration with intruder and fire systems for offices, campuses and residential buildings.
Access control designVoice alarm and public address design, speaker coverage, zoning and intelligibility planning for evacuation and normal use.
PA & voice alarmIntrusion zoning and perimeter detection with alarm signalling, and clear interfaces to CCTV and access control.
Intrusion detectionBMS and IBMS architecture, controller and sensor points for HVAC, lighting and metering, integrated with the ELV network.
BMS designBackbone, horizontal and rack cabling designs with schedules and containment routes, including fibre risers and Wi-Fi planning.
ICT cabling designConference, AV and IPTV distribution, racks, signal routing and control interfaces for meeting rooms, hotels and public areas.
AV system designThe Swiss rules and market conditions that change the ELV design brief.
Fire safety is set by the cantonal fire insurers and the VKF guidelines, with the local building authority. Data protection is supervised by the federal FDPIC. Federal information security applies to federal bodies and certain critical infrastructure, and cantonal rules may apply. Confirm the route for each canton at the start.
Final acceptance rests with the authorities and the project's authorised professionals. Our role is engineering design support within the agreed scope.
Projects in Switzerland include work in Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Bern, Lausanne. Location does not change scope: every project starts with a review of drawings and the design brief.
