integrAIte Building Technologies

Smart buildings where every system works as one.

integrAIte Building Technologies LTD is a smart building consultancy and project management company. We design, coordinate and deliver the integration of building management, lighting, access, metering and IoT systems, so they behave as one building from handover onwards.

Protocols we work with
  • BACnet/IP
  • KNX
  • Modbus
  • DALI-2
  • M-Bus
  • MQTT
  • OPC UA
  • LoRaWAN

What we do

Most integration problems start in the gaps between contracts. We take responsibility for those gaps, from first design to the day the building is occupied.

Integration design and systems architecture

Protocol mapping, point schedules, network layout and cybersecurity design across BMS, lighting, access, metering and IoT, written so that every trade can price and build to it.

DeliverableIntegration specification and point schedule

Construction and delivery management

We coordinate the controls, electrical, mechanical and IT contractors on site, keep the programme moving and resolve clashes before they reach the ceiling void.

DeliverableCoordinated programme, RFI tracker and snagging log

Commissioning and witness testing

Integrated systems testing that proves the sequences work between systems, such as fire alarm release to lifts and access, and not only inside each one.

DeliverableTest records and O&M-ready handover pack

Retrofit and legacy upgrades

Adding supervision, metering and analytics to existing buildings without replacing plant that still works. We bridge older protocols to open ones through gateways.

DeliverableSurvey report, gateway design and migration plan

Technical advisory and project management

Client-side representation for owners and developers. Tender review, supplier selection, cost control and risk tracking from the brief through to completion.

DeliverableTender reports and monthly progress reports

From the plant room to the tenant app

Behind every smart building is a room of controllers, switches and gateways. We make sure they are specified, installed and tested as one system.

  • One network design that the controls, electrical and IT contractors all build to
  • Gateways that bring older equipment onto open protocols
  • Every connection proven in testing before handover

How a project runs

Our work follows the RIBA Plan of Work, so it fits alongside the design team and contractors you already have.

  1. RIBA 0–1

    Brief

    Strategic definition. We agree what the building must do, which systems are in scope and who owns the data.

  2. RIBA 2–3

    Design

    Protocol mapping, point schedules and network layout, checked against the architect's and M&E engineer's drawings.

  3. RIBA 4

    Technical design

    Integration specification and tender package, with clear responsibilities for controls, electrical, mechanical and IT contractors.

  4. RIBA 5

    Construction

    Site coordination, progress monitoring and integrated testing as each system comes online.

  5. RIBA 6–7

    Handover and use

    Witness testing, O&M documentation and operator training, then support while the building settles into use.

Where we work

The systems are similar across building types. What the occupants and operators need from them is not. We take on projects across the UK.

Commercial offices
Tenant comfort, space utilisation and energy reporting across multi-let floors.
Build-to-rent and residential
Metering, access and heating controls that residents and managing agents can both use.
Mixed-use and retail
Shared landlord plant and separate tenant systems on one supervision layer.
Education and healthcare
Resilient controls, clear zoning and records that stand up to audit.
Industrial and logistics
Lighting, HVAC and metering tied to operating hours and electrical load.
Existing building portfolios
One data model across sites built in different decades by different suppliers.

One view across every site

Whether you manage one building or a portfolio across the UK, we design the integration so that every site reports in the same way.

  • The same data structure at each building, so reports can be compared
  • Alarms and trends from many sites in one place
  • Secure connections designed in from the start

About integrAIte

We sit between the design team, the contractors and the client's own IT and facilities teams, so that systems installed by different trades behave as one building.

Open protocols first

We specify standards such as BACnet, KNX, Modbus and MQTT so that the building stays maintainable by other suppliers after we leave.

One accountable team

Integration is written into every contract it touches, so it is never left in the gaps between them.

Handover that works

Integrated testing, clear documentation and training happen before anyone calls the project complete.

Start an inquiry

Tell us about the building and what you want its systems to do. We read every inquiry and reply by email.

Helpful to include

  • Where the building is and what it is used for
  • Which systems are involved, if you know
  • Whether it is new build, refurbishment or retrofit
  • Your timescale and where the project is now
