Why Ireland — and Why Now

Ireland is in the middle of an extraordinary construction cycle. It hosts one of Europe's largest concentrations of hyperscale data centres, a globally significant pharmaceutical and med-tech manufacturing base, a fast-growing technology sector, and sustained public investment in healthcare, education and transport infrastructure. Every one of these building types is rich in ELV, ICT and security systems — and all of them are under pressure to deliver more, faster, and within tighter budgets.

At the same time, specialist ELV and ICT design capacity in Ireland is finite, and consultancy fees reflect that scarcity. This is exactly where a dedicated offshore design partner adds value: ASDV gives Irish architects, engineers, contractors and developers access to deep, multi-disciplinary design capability — fully compliant with Irish and European standards — at a fee that protects the project budget and with a turnaround that keeps the programme moving. That combination of capacity, compliance, cost and speed is why a growing number of Irish project teams choose ASDV.

ELV Services — Extra-Low-Voltage System Design

As an ELV consultant in Ireland, ASDV delivers the full extra-low-voltage scope as one coordinated package: fire detection and alarm to I.S. 3218 and BS 5839, public-address and voice-alarm (PA/VA) to I.S. EN 54, building management systems, audio-visual, and integrated security. You receive detector and device layouts, riser and containment diagrams, cause-and-effect matrices, panel and equipment specifications, bills of quantities and full tender documentation. Explore our dedicated ELV design consultancy page for the complete deliverable list.

ICT Services — Network & Telecommunications Infrastructure

Our ICT design consultancy covers structured cabling, LAN/WAN and wireless, telecommunications rooms, containment and the data-centre backbone. Designs follow ISO/IEC 11801, TIA-568 and TIA-942, with Cat6A copper, OM4/OS2 fibre, pathway sizing and rack elevations. See ICT design and structured cabling design for specifics.

Security Services — Integrated Electronic Security

ASDV designs integrated security systems to EN 50131 (intrusion), IEC/EN 62676 (CCTV) and EN 60839 (access control), with GDPR-aware surveillance design that stands up to Data Protection Commission scrutiny. Camera field-of-view studies, VMS/NVR specifications, storage and bandwidth calculations, reader and controller schedules and control-room layouts are all covered. See security design, CCTV design and access control design.

BIM & Revit Services

Our BIM services follow ISO 19650 information-management practice: federated models at LOD 200–500, clash detection in Navisworks, and discipline-specific Revit ELV/MEP families and documentation. We work to your BEP and CDE and deliver coordinated models that contractors can build from. See BIM services and Revit modelling.

CAD Services

For teams that work in 2D, our CAD services provide AutoCAD drafting, redrawing, as-built production and CAD-to-BIM conversion — all produced to your layering and titleblock standards. See CAD drafting services.

Below is the breadth of systems ASDV designs for Irish projects. Because we cover them all in-house, each system is coordinated with the others — and modelled together — rather than designed in isolation by separate consultants.

Life Safety & Fire

• Fire detection & alarm systems (I.S. 3218 / BS 5839) — addressable and conventional
• Aspirating smoke detection (VESDA) for data centres and critical spaces
• Public-address & voice-alarm (PA/VA) with intelligibility design (EN 50849)
• Disabled-refuge and emergency-voice-communication systems

ICT & Networks

• Structured cabling — Cat6A copper and OM4/OS2 fibre (ISO/IEC 11801, TIA-568)
• LAN/WAN and active-network architecture
• High-density wireless (Wi-Fi 6/6E) coverage design
• Telecommunications rooms, racks, containment and pathways
• IPTV, AV and digital-signage infrastructure

Electronic Security

• CCTV / video surveillance (IEC 62676) with GDPR-aware coverage
• Access control and door-hardware design (EN 60839)
• Intrusion detection and perimeter protection (EN 50131)
• Security control rooms and integrated command-and-control

Building Automation & Specialist Systems

• Building management systems (BMS) — HVAC, lighting and energy control
• Nurse-call and patient systems for healthcare
• Guest-room management systems (GRMS) for hospitality
• DCIM and environmental monitoring for data centres

One of the most common questions Irish clients ask is whether a remote design consultancy can genuinely design to Irish requirements. The answer is a clear yes — and standards are the reason. The engineering codes that govern ELV, ICT and security design are international or European, and they apply identically whether the engineer is in Dublin or Delhi. What matters is that the designer knows and applies the correct standard for the Irish context, and documents it so an Irish certifier can sign it off.

Fire Detection & Life Safety

Fire systems for Irish buildings are designed to I.S. 3218 (the Irish standard for fire detection and alarm) and BS 5839-1, with components to the I.S. EN 54 series and voice alarm to EN 50849. We produce the category determination (L1–L5, P1–P2), detector and device layouts, zone plans, cause-and-effect matrices and panel specifications that a competent person can certify.

Electrical & Containment

Low-voltage and containment design references the I.S. 10101 National Rules for Electrical Installations (the Irish wiring rules), ensuring ELV cabling, segregation and containment are coordinated with the electrical installation.

ICT, Cabling & Data Centres

Structured cabling follows ISO/IEC 11801 and the ANSI/TIA-568, -569 and -606 series; data centres add ANSI/TIA-942 and EN 50600. Designs are vendor-neutral so you can tender competitively while preserving warranty and channel performance.

Electronic Security & Data Protection

Security is designed to EN 50131 (intrusion grading), IEC/EN 62676 (CCTV) and EN 60839 (access control). Crucially for Ireland, surveillance is designed to be GDPR-aware — proportionate coverage, privacy masking, defined retention and signage — to support the operator's obligations under the Data Protection Commission.

BIM Information Management

Where projects are BIM-enabled, we deliver to ISO 19650 information-management practice — working to your BEP, naming conventions and CDE, and federating disciplines for clash-free coordination before tender.

Outsourcing design to a specialist offshore partner is a well-established practice across the Irish and UK construction industries, particularly for ELV, ICT and BIM work where the deliverables are digital and the standards are codified. ASDV has built its delivery model around the three things Irish clients care about most: compliance, communication and quality control.

Compliance

We design to the exact Irish, British and European standards your specification names, and we cite them on every drawing and in every specification. Final certification by an Irish assigned certifier or competent person remains with your team — our role is to produce documentation that makes that sign-off straightforward.

Communication & Time Zones

The IST time difference is an advantage, not a barrier. Markups you send at the end of your working day are typically actioned overnight and returned the next morning — effectively adding a shift to your programme. We coordinate by email, shared CDE, and scheduled video calls, with WhatsApp for quick queries.

Quality & Coordination

Every package goes through internal QA against a discipline checklist before issue. Because we bring ELV, ICT, security, BIM and CAD under one roof, your fire, security, cabling and BMS designs are coordinated with each other — and clash-checked against the architectural and MEP models — before they ever reach tender.

Data Security & Confidentiality

Drawings and project information are commercially sensitive, and we treat them that way. We are happy to work under your non-disclosure agreement, operate within your secure Common Data Environment where one is in place, and handle personal data (for example in CCTV and access-control design) in line with GDPR principles. Intellectual property in the deliverables transfers to you on the terms set out in our engagement — there are no hidden licensing strings attached to your own design package.

Flexible Engagement

Work with us on a fixed-fee per-project basis for defined scopes, or as an ongoing offshore design partner adding capacity to your practice during peak workloads. Either way, you get transparent pricing and no travel costs.

ASDV Consultant is an established ELV, ICT and security design consultancy with a multi-disciplinary engineering team and a portfolio of 500+ projects delivered for clients across India, the UK, Ireland, Australia and the Gulf. We bring together fire, security, networks, BMS, BIM and CAD specialists under one roof — which is precisely why we can coordinate the full low-voltage scope rather than designing each system in a silo.

Our engineers hold and work to internationally recognised frameworks — NFPA, BS, I.S., TIA, IEC, EN and ISO 19650 — and we adapt the applicable standard to each market we serve. For Irish projects, that means designing to the Irish and European codes your specification names, documented so an Irish certifier can sign off with confidence.

For Ireland specifically, we operate this dedicated subdomain and a focused, locally-relevant service so Irish clients can find, evaluate and engage us quickly. Behind it sits the same engineering capability that supports our clients worldwide — now delivered to Irish architects, MEP consultants, contractors, system integrators and developers at 40–60% lower fees, with the responsiveness of a dedicated remote team. Explore our ELV, ICT, security, BIM and CAD services, or the sectors we serve — from data centres to healthcare.

Choosing the right design consultant has a bigger impact on a project than almost any other early decision. A good ELV/ICT design prevents clashes, controls cost and produces documentation your contractor can build from without rework. A weak one creates change orders, delays and certification headaches. When evaluating any consultant — local or offshore — ask:

• Which standards will you design to? The answer should name the specific Irish/EN codes for each system (I.S. 3218, ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50131, IEC 62676, etc.), not vague reassurances.
• What exactly is in the deliverable? Look for layouts, schematics, schedules, specifications, BOQ and coordinated drawings — not just a sketch.
• How do you coordinate with other disciplines? Clash detection and BIM coordination should be part of the answer for any significant project.
• How is the fee structured? A transparent fixed fee for a defined scope removes risk; beware open-ended hourly arrangements.
• What is the turnaround on revisions? Programme certainty depends on it — ASDV's overnight model is a genuine differentiator.
• Can you show relevant sector experience? Data-centre, healthcare and transport projects each have distinct requirements.

ASDV is built to answer every one of these convincingly. If you'd like to test us against your own checklist, send us your project scope and we'll respond within 24 hours.
