Smart Build Projects

Implementing the CNS at the heart of your Smart Building

We know that our consultative approach to Smart Build projects gets results. Taking responsibility for the implementation and integration of the Converged Network System (CNS), we’ll challenge assumptions, maximise network capabilities, exhaustively test integrations off-site, and provide expert guidance and support for commissioning activities.  

Let’s talk Smart Buildings

Ensuring your building delivers quality outcomes

Your Smart Building CNS contains the DNA of every digital service and experience the building will deliver. Getting it right first time and on time is critical to Practical Completion.

At Ideal we have delivered complex CNS’ for some of the most advanced building in Europe.

We have integrated upwards of 35 IP Partners in a single project. We know how to design and deliver robust Wi-Fi for up to 23,500 concurrent users. We’ve built the landlord systems to support tenants across 62 high-rise floors, integrating the tenant networks as they move in. And we provide the Smart Buildings Managed Services for some of the UK’s most iconic buildings and campuses.

We’re experts at working with construction contractors and technology providers. We’re used to working on busy sites with restricted access, co-ordinating with multiple trades. We pride ourselves in delivering first-class communication and documentation. We’ve never failed to achieve a Practical Completion deadline.
