System design & engineering
Clear drawings, sound calculations and complete specifications — the documents that let projects be priced fairly, approved quickly and built right first time.
What System Design covers
We produce device layouts, riser and schematic diagrams, rack elevations and containment routes in AutoCAD or Revit, coordinated with architectural and MEP models. Each design is backed by calculations — camera coverage, storage retention, network bandwidth, PoE and UPS loads — and by specifications and bills of quantities that define performance clearly.
System Design in brief
| Software | AutoCAD, Revit BIM and camera design tools |
|---|---|
| Specifications | CSI MasterFormat Divisions 27 and 28 |
| Calculations | Storage retention, bandwidth, power, heat load and lux |
| BOQ | Itemised quantities with approved alternatives |
Drawings and specifications prepared in line with Qatar Construction Specifications (QCS) and applicable MOI-SSD technical requirements.

How we approach System Design
Coordinated with other trades
Designs are coordinated with architecture and MEP to avoid clashes on site.
Calculations you can check
Every key number — storage, bandwidth, power — is documented so reviewers can verify it.
Specification by performance
Performance-based specifications keep competition open while protecting quality.
Services alongside System Design
System Design: common questions
Can you work in our BIM model?
Yes. We can model ELV devices and containment in Revit and coordinate through your common data environment.
Do you prepare BOQs for tenders?
Yes, with itemised quantities and, where requested, approved brand alternatives.
