Technical project management and ITB coordination

ITB — Integrated Technical Building Installation — makes sure HVAC, electrical and automation systems actually work together at handover. That integration does not happen on its own; someone must own the whole.

Our role

• Coordinate technical disciplines from start to finish
• Clarify interfaces, especially around automation and BMS/SCADA systems
• Plan tests, manage commissioning and run functional testing
• Deliver a handover protocol with documented performance

What it solves

• Systems that are designed correctly but not configured as one integrated solution
• Faults that only surface in operation and become expensive to fix
• Unclear responsibility between contractor, supplier and the operations organisation

We work for clients and for main contractors who need a neutral ITB resource. The goal is the same in either case: the building must deliver what was designed, from day one.

Technical project management is more than chairing meetings. It requires the technical depth to challenge design choices, the experience to spot interfaces before they become conflicts, and the structure to ensure testing and documentation are completed. We take ownership of the entire technical delivery — from early sizing and room programmes, through design and procurement, to functional testing, training and warranty follow-up. The result is a predictable handover and a building that can be operated efficiently from day one.

When is it used?

• Complex technical renovation projects with many parallel trades and a high degree of interaction
• New builds with a high level of energy and automation content where BMS/SCADA and control strategy are critical
• Clients without in-house technical expertise who need a neutral technical lead
• Projects with strict functional requirements for indoor climate, energy performance or requiring certification
• Design-and-build contracts where the client wants independent ITB coordination across suppliers
