Ever wonder why the building technology system that was just installed doesn't operate exactly as expected? Maybe these operational issues have less to do with the new system than it does with how related existing systems were programmed for it.

• Archi-Technology's Commissioning services ensure these multi-system requirements are met and documented before the system goes live.
• Our Documentation services can capture vital systems commissioning data from existing systems and catalog them in a secure electronic binder that clients and authorized vendors can access 24/7 for system troubleshooting.

In a traditional construction project, Archi-Technology is a consultant acting under the direction of an architectural firm. As such, the costs and responsibility for our professional services are included in the architect's contract with the owner.

For capital projects that are primarily focused on technology systems—e.g., an enterprise-wide technology infrastructure upgrade—the traditional contract model is flipped; i.e., the architect's services for AMEP design and construction management would be included in Archi-Technology's contract with the owner.
