Everybody recognises that the built environment, from office towers to hotels, hospitals to retail malls, needs to get smarter. The push for greater energy efficiency, the need for greater insight into user needs (and the flexibility to meet them), the likelihood of growing regulation and the need for live operational insights, they all point to the need for buildings with better digital integration.
The status quo will be familiar to most developers, operators and tenants: a myriad of disconnected building systems, using proprietary data formats, with limited ability to connect them once the building is complete. Data is generated everywhere, but is hidden or disconnected from other sources; it’s a wealth of information that never becomes ‘intelligence’.
A few new buildings are demonstrating how they can be both sustainable and digital to the core, achieving incredible efficiency ratings and offering digital twin levels of control. But we need to bring the same degree of control to the millions of existing buildings. This is why we designed our own, unified building data platform, to bring data integration to any building and drive a more sustainable built environment for all.
Physical, human, digital
We have developed our own digital service to overcome the ‘my building is a mysterious black box’ problem. Our property insights process unifies all the performance data produced by the building’s many systems, helping you to fully understand the building for the first time. As a service it combines deep domain expertise in the structure, engineering of buildings with powerful data analytics, to produce a digital tool is tailored to you.
The tool, and accompanying service, can be used with any building. We begin with an expert assessment, before creating a working data model of the asset. We then bring together the entire range of your building’s systems into a single cloud-based model.

The property insight process comprises a single dashboard, offering many different insights and advantages:
Invest in the future
Getting your data aligned and interconnected is the first, vital step in developing a building or asset that you can learn from. It brings new levels of insight and control, enabling an intelligence-led approach to building management. In an era of increasing reporting, service expectations and competition, there’s never been a better time to bring your estate into the bright light of the digital realm.
