🇪🇺 Remote ELV Design for European Projects

Low-Voltage, ICT & Security Design
for European Projects

Remote low-voltage, ICT, security and audiovisual design for commercial, residential, healthcare, education and infrastructure projects across Europe.

We support architects, MEP consultants, developers and contractors with coordinated ELV drawings, riser diagrams, schedules, specifications and BIM/CAD deliverables. Each system is designed against the brief, the client specification and the standards the project calls for.

Eight Core Systems

Complete Low-Voltage & ICT Design Services

The systems below are designed as one coordinated package, so cabling, containment, power and control interfaces line up across trades.

Fire Detection & Alarm Systems

Addressable fire detection and alarm layouts, zoning, cause-and-effect matrices, and interfaces to access control, lifts and HVAC. Product standards such as EN 54 are applied where the project specifies them.

Fire alarm design

CCTV & Video Surveillance

Camera coverage and specification, recording and storage sizing, network design and VMS integration. Designed with GDPR and EDPB video-device guidance in mind, including masking, retention and access control.

CCTV design

Access Control Systems

Reader, controller and credential architecture, door schedules and integration with intruder and fire systems. Aligned with EN 60839-11-1 and the EN 50133 series where the project calls for them.

Access control design

Public Address & Voice Alarm

Voice alarm design with EN 54-16 control equipment and EN 54-24 loudspeakers where specified. Speaker coverage, zoning and intelligibility planning for evacuation and public-address use.

PA & voice alarm

Intrusion Detection & Perimeter

Intrusion detection zoning, perimeter detection and alarm signalling. Aligned with the EN 50131 series where the project specifies it, with clear interfaces to CCTV and access control.

Intrusion detection

Building Management Systems

BMS and IBMS architecture, controller and sensor points, and integration with the ELV network. Supports building automation requirements under the EPBD recast, with energy calculations referenced to EN ISO 52120-1 where needed.

BMS design

ICT & Structured Cabling

Backbone, horizontal and rack-level cabling designs with schedules and containment routes. Designed to EN 50173 and EN 50174 series where specified, including fibre risers and wireless coverage planning.

ICT cabling design

Audio-Visual & IPTV

Conference, AV and IPTV distribution design, equipment racks, signal routing and control interfaces for meeting rooms, auditoria, hospitality and public areas.

AV system design
Why It Matters

Why Professional ELV Design Matters

Late or uncoordinated ELV design is one of the most common causes of rework on European building projects. Early, structured design reduces it.

Coordination before construction
Early ELV coordination with MEP, structure and architecture reduces clashes in risers, ceilings and containment.
Defined scope and deliverables
Drawings, schedules and specifications are issued against an agreed scope and programme, so the tender package is clear.
Standards confirmed up front
We confirm which EN standards and national requirements apply before design starts, rather than assuming one standard covers a whole country.
Scalable design capacity
Add ELV design resource for tender or detailed-design phases without recruiting permanently.
Standards

Design Standards & Compliance

EN 54 series: fire detection & voice alarm EN 62676 series: video surveillance EN 60839-11-1 & EN 50133: access control EN 50131: intrusion alarms EN 50173 & EN 50174: cabling EN 50600: data centre facilities EN ISO 52120-1: building automation

The standards that apply are confirmed for each project. European standards support good design, but they do not replace national building, fire and telecommunications requirements. Those are set by the authority having jurisdiction in each country.

Final acceptance rests with the authority and the project's authorised professionals. Our role is engineering design support within the agreed scope.

Regulation Watch

EU Rules That Shape ELV Design

These EU instruments change what a building or data centre needs from its ELV and ICT systems. Check the current national transposition for your country.

EPBD recast (Directive (EU) 2024/1275)
Building automation and control requirements for larger non-residential buildings. Transposition was due by 29 May 2026. Read the guide.
NIS2 (Directive (EU) 2022/2555)
Cybersecurity duties for in-scope operators make networked BMS, access and fire systems part of the security design. Scope depends on sector and entity, not building ownership alone. Read the guide.
GDPR and EDPB video guidance
Camera design determines what personal data is collected: field of view, masking, retention, access and signage. Read the guide.
Data centre reporting (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1364)
Annual energy reporting for data centres of 500 kW installed IT power and above. Metering and monitoring design should support it. Read the guide.
