ASDV Consultant — UK

India-Based ELV & ICT Design for UK Projects

ASDV Consultant is a specialist ELV, ICT, security, BIM and CAD design consultancy headquartered in New Delhi, India, serving architects, engineers, contractors and developers across the United Kingdom at 40–60% lower cost than UK consultancies.

The United Kingdom's construction output exceeds £200 billion annually — one of the largest building markets in Europe. London's data-centre belt in Docklands, the NHS New Hospital Programme (40 new hospitals), HS2 Phase 1 infrastructure, the RAAC school-remediation programme, Manchester's Northern Powerhouse commercial pipeline, Edinburgh's financial district regeneration and Glasgow's hospital capital-works programme all create continuous demand for specialist ELV, ICT and BIM design. ASDV serves this demand from our New Delhi studio — combining deep technical capability with the cost advantage of an Indian engineering base.

Our typical UK clients are architects and building designers who need ELV drawings for Building Control submission; M&E consultancies subcontracting ELV scope offshore; main contractors and D&C builders needing coordinated shop drawings and as-built records; property developers needing a full ELV package for tender; NHS Trusts and their appointed M&E consultancies; and data-centre developers needing BS EN 50600 / TIA-942-compliant ELV and structured cabling for London Docklands, Slough and Manchester facilities.

We design to BS 5839-1 (fire detection and alarm), BS 5839-8 (voice alarm), BS EN 50173 (structured cabling), BS EN 62676 (CCTV), BS EN 50131 (intruder alarm), ISO 19650 (BIM), the UK BIM Framework, Building Regulations Approved Documents B and M, and UK GDPR/ICO requirements. Our teams hold internationally recognised credentials and are familiar with UK construction procurement, NBS Chorus specification, RIBA Plan of Work stages and Building Control compliance.

British Standards

The Standards That Govern Every ASDV UK Design

We don't just reference British Standards — we design to them in detail.

BS 5839-1 — Fire Detection & Alarm
The primary UK standard for fire detection and alarm systems in non-domestic buildings. ASDV produces zone plans, cause-and-effect matrices and panel specifications to BS 5839-1:2017 Category L and M.
BS EN 50173 — Structured Cabling
The UK / European structured cabling standard for commercial buildings. Our designs specify BS EN 50173-compliant Cat6A copper and OM4/OS2 fibre, with test requirements referenced to BS EN 50346.
BS EN 62676 — CCTV Systems
UK/European CCTV standard. All ASDV CCTV designs include DORI analysis, VMS/NVR specifications and a UK GDPR/ICO compliance summary — ICO data retention schedule included as standard.
ISO 19650 — UK BIM Framework
The UK pioneered BIM Level 2, which evolved into ISO 19650. ASDV produces UK BIM Framework-aligned BEPs, RIBA-stage-appropriate Revit models and COBie UK 2012 data drops.
BS EN 50600 — Data Centres
The European/UK data-centre infrastructure standard. ASDV designs UK data-centre ELV to BS EN 50600 availability classes 1–4 and TIA-942 Tier I–IV for US-client dual-compliance projects.
UK GDPR / ICO Compliance
UK GDPR (Data Protection Act 2018) and ICO guidance govern CCTV and biometric access control in the UK. ASDV includes UK GDPR compliance documentation in every relevant design package.
Why ASDV

Why UK Clients Choose ASDV Consultant

Six reasons why architects, M&E consultancies, contractors and developers across the UK trust ASDV with their ELV, ICT and BIM design.

40–60% Lower Fees Than UK Firms
UK ELV and ICT consultants charge £90–180/hr for specialist design. India-based operations allow ASDV to deliver the same standard of design at 40–60% less — significant savings on any UK project.
BS 5839-1, BS EN 50173 & ISO 19650 Compliant
Every design package is produced to the standards UK architects, engineers and contractors require — BS 5839-1 fire alarm, BS EN 50173 cabling, BS EN 50131 security, ISO 19650 BIM and Building Regulations Approved Documents.
Fast Turnaround — Overnight Revisions
India (IST, UTC+5:30) is only 4.5–5.5 hours ahead of the UK — the closest time-zone gap of any significant offshore design location. UK clients regularly receive revised drawings before their next morning meeting.
Fully Remote — No Site-Visit Fees
Complete digital design packages delivered by email and cloud. No UK site-visit fees, no travel costs billed back — 100% remote delivery from our New Delhi studio.
UK BIM Framework & ISO 19650-Aware Engineers

Offshore Design

How Offshore ELV Design Works for UK Projects

Common concerns — and why experienced UK project teams have found ASDV's remote delivery reliable.

British Standards Compliance
Designs reference BS 5839-1, BS EN 50173, BS EN 62676, BS EN 50131 and Approved Documents B/M. The standards are the same regardless of where the designer is located.
Time Zone — Only 4.5–5.5hrs Ahead
India (IST, UTC+5:30) is the closest major offshore location to the UK in time-zone terms — 5.5hrs ahead in winter (GMT), 4.5hrs in summer (BST). Overnight revisions are standard, not exceptional.
Design Quality Assurance
All deliverables are checked by a senior engineer before issue. We maintain revision history, issue registers and drawing indices to UK building services practice standards.
Data Security & NDA
Project drawings and data are shared via encrypted cloud storage. NDAs signed for all UK projects — including government, healthcare and defence.
Fixed-Fee Certainty
Every UK engagement is fixed-fee — no hourly billing surprises. UK project managers can budget the ELV/ICT design line item accurately from day one.
Ongoing Partnership Model
Many UK clients engage ASDV as their standing offshore ELV resource — consistent quality across multiple projects at consistently lower cost than UK-based resource.

Testimonials

What UK Clients Say About ASDV

Feedback from architects, M&E consultancies and contractors across the United Kingdom.

FAQ — United Kingdom

ELV, ICT & Security Consultancy in the UK — FAQs

An ELV (extra-low voltage) consultant designs every building system that operates below 50 V AC — fire detection and alarm (BS 5839-1), public address and voice alarm (BS 5839-8), BMS, structured cabling (BS EN 50173), CCTV (BS EN 62676), access control (BS EN 50131), intruder alarm and audio-visual. ASDV Consultant provides the complete ELV design scope — drawings, specifications and schedules — for UK construction projects from our New Delhi studio.

Yes — ASDV's engineers are trained in BS 5839-1 (fire alarm), BS EN 50173 (cabling), BS EN 62676 (CCTV), BS EN 50131 (intruder alarm), ISO 19650 (BIM), the UK BIM Framework, Approved Document B and UK GDPR/ICO requirements. The physical location of the designer has no bearing on the standards to which the design is produced. Design deliverables — drawings, specifications, schedules and BOQ — are produced to the same standards your UK architect, engineer and contractor require.

Typically 40–60% lower fees than equivalent UK consultancies. UK ELV and ICT consultants charge £90–180/hr depending on city and specialism. ASDV's India-based operations have significantly lower overheads — passed directly to UK clients. For a typical £50,000 ELV design scope, ASDV would charge approximately £20,000–30,000 for equivalent deliverables.

We work remotely with clients in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Leeds, Bristol, Glasgow, Cardiff and every other UK city, county and region — including rural healthcare facilities, MOD establishments and data-centre campuses outside major urban areas.

Yes — ISO 19650 and UK BIM Framework-compliant Revit modelling, BEP production, Navisworks clash detection, IFC/COBie export and CDE management are all part of our BIM Services for the UK. We work within your project's nominated Common Data Environment (Autodesk Construction Cloud/BIM 360, Aconex, Procore or SharePoint).

India Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30) is 5.5 hours ahead of GMT (UK winter) and 4.5 hours ahead of BST (UK summer). This is the smallest time-zone gap of any major offshore design location. ASDV engineers work from approximately 09:00–18:00 IST, which overlaps with the UK afternoon (13:30–18:00 IST = 08:00–12:30 GMT). Revisions submitted at end of UK business day are typically returned the following morning.

Yes — this is the preferred engagement model for many UK clients. We act as an embedded offshore ELV design resource across multiple projects under a master services agreement, providing consistent quality at consistently lower cost than a UK ELV resource. This model works particularly well for M&E consultancies, D&C contractors and property developers with a pipeline of UK projects.

Send us your project brief — building type, UK location, scope (ELV, ICT, security, BIM, CAD or a combination), programme and any existing drawings. We will respond within 24 hours with a scope breakdown, applicable British Standards and a transparent fixed-fee proposal.
