Building technology delivered end to end, with one point of accountability
Outsmart delivers intercom, access control, CCTV and building networks from design through commissioning, handover and strata transition. We work closely with the builder and electrical contractor so nothing falls between trades and the building is handed over cleanly and ready to manage.

Where building technology usually goes wrong
Security and building systems often span several scopes: services consultants, the builder and multiple subcontractors. That is where friction, defects and handover delays tend to start.
1
Scope split across too many parties
Consultants specify, the builder coordinates, subcontractors install, and nobody owns how the systems work together.
2
Installed, but not properly commissioned
Devices get powered up, but integration, programming and testing are rushed at the end of the programme.
3
Messy handover
Missing credentials, incomplete documentation and no clear owner leave the owners corporation guessing.
4
Defects after PC
Problems surface after handover and land back on the builder or developer, along with the reputational cost.
Flexible to how your project is structured
In some projects we support the builder under their contract. In others, developers prefer us to take full responsibility for the technology package. The objective is the same either way: clear accountability and a predictable outcome.
Option A
Design, specify and commission
We design and specify the systems early. The builder carries installation through their electrical contractor, and we handle integration, programming, commissioning and handover. Scope stays clear without complicating the tender.
Option B
Full technology package
Engaged directly by the developer, we take responsibility for design, supply, installation and commissioning of the technology package, coordinating with the builder’s programme and site team throughout.

How we fit into your project
- We integrate into your coordination process like any nominated supplier: we attend coordination meetings and align with the programme.
- Documentation early, so containment, cabling and interfaces are resolved before construction, not during it.
- Clear split with the electrician. They typically install containment and cabling; we handle system design, integration and commissioning.
- A proper handover pack: documentation, credentials, test records and training for the incoming building manager.
- Strata transition support, so the owners corporation inherits a system it can manage from day one.

Questions builders and developers ask
Won’t engaging you separately create communication gaps with the builder?
In practice we integrate into the builder’s coordination process like any nominated supplier. Early involvement actually reduces communication risk, because the scope is defined before construction starts.
Doesn’t excluding scope complicate the tender?
It doesn’t have to. We can structure it so the builder still carries installation while we provide design, specification and commissioning. The real risk is not excluded scope, it’s unclear scope.
How does this work with the electrical contractor?
We don’t replace the electrician, we work alongside them. They typically install containment and cabling, and we handle system design, integration and commissioning.
We already have a security supplier. Why change?
This isn’t about replacing relationships. It’s about cohesive design and a proper handover, and we’re happy to collaborate with existing suppliers.
Why not just let the builder handle it?
The builder delivers the asset. We make sure the technology performs long after completion, which is where most post-handover friction comes from.
