ICT Design Consultant for the United Kingdom
ICT infrastructure and telecommunications design to BS EN 50173 and ISO/IEC 11801 for UK commercial, healthcare, education and technology-driven facilities — remote delivery, fixed fees.
ICT Infrastructure Design for UK Projects
ICT design encompasses the complete telecommunications and network infrastructure of a UK building — structured cabling, network equipment specifications, Wi-Fi design, telecom room layout, fibre backbone and PoE infrastructure. In the UK, structured cabling is governed by BS EN 50173 (generic cabling standards for commercial premises), BS EN 50174 (cabling installation practice) and BS EN 50346 (cabling testing). ASDV designs to all of these standards, providing UK construction teams with complete, tender-ready ICT design packages.
BS EN 50173 Structured Cabling Design
BS EN 50173-2 governs telecommunications cabling for office buildings in the UK. ASDV produces full BS EN 50173-compliant designs specifying Category 6A copper cabling for horizontal runs, OM4 multimode or OS2 singlemode fibre for vertical and campus backbone, and TIA-569-compliant telecom room layouts. Our cabling designs include detailed containment and pathway drawings, cable schedules, patch panel schedules and full BOQ for UK M&E tenders.
Wi-Fi 6E / Wi-Fi 7 High-Density Design
Modern UK offices, universities and healthcare facilities demand high-density wireless coverage. ASDV produces AP placement plans, channel-planning schedules, PoE budget calculations and coverage models for Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax, 6 GHz) and Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) deployments — designed to Ofcom spectrum guidance and vendor neutral wherever client specifications allow.
ICT Deliverables for UK Projects

UK Telecoms Compliance: ASDV's ICT designs specify installations that comply with Ofcom and DCMS cabling regulations and are compatible with Openreach connectivity where required for UK commercial premises.
Frequently Asked Questions
BS EN 50173 (specifically BS EN 50173-2 for commercial buildings) is the primary UK structured cabling standard. It is harmonised with ISO/IEC 11801. ASDV designs to BS EN 50173 with test requirements referenced to BS EN 50346 for installers.
For UK commercial buildings in 2026, Category 6A remains the standard horizontal cabling specification, supporting 10GBASE-T and PoE++. Category 8 is used for short-run data-centre spine cabling. ASDV will specify the appropriate category based on your project's network architecture and future-proofing requirements.
Yes — on request, ASDV can produce ICT specifications in a format compatible with NBS Chorus for integration with your UK project's NBS specification set. We can also produce in your practice's standard Word or PDF spec format.
We produce AP placement drawings based on floor plans, specifying mounting height, AP model, channel plan, PoE requirements and coverage targets. We design to Ofcom UK spectrum allocations (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz) and include a PoE budget to confirm switch requirements. DECT coordination for NHS environments is also available on request.
