Some might say that communications design isn’t anything special, just gets information from A to B. Not us. We see communications as an essential system – the backbone of a building, if you will – that has to be there to make many other things work. Lighting controls and CCTV, through to HVAC and smart technology all rely on detailed and considered communications design. This also lays the foundation to converge these technologies into a unified, intelligent-building network.

With communications experts across Canada, we help clients navigate the (for many, overwhelming) world of data communications technology. Our specialists thoroughly assess client needs to create customized systems designs that provide cost-effective, integrated, and truly innovative solutions from day one and right through the lifespan of a facility – whatever and wherever it is. This in-depth knowledge of local and national communications technology and best practices is supplemented with access to Smith + Andersen specialists in other services, such as audio-visual and security, making integration simple.
