How it worksThree quick steps

From a single GFA input to a board-ready appraisal.

01

Pick your sector

Office, data centre, healthcare or residential — each loads its own CIBSE-derived plant percentages, cooling loads and commissioning durations.

02

Enter your GFA

A single Gross Floor Area input drives plant room area, NLA, cooling kW/TR, slab loads and recommended commissioning weeks.

03

Layer in ESG systems

Toggle solar PV, BESS, heat recovery, geothermal, BMS tuning and electrification to model annual savings and CO₂ offsets.

All calculations are indicative and reference CIBSE Guide A, BSRIA operational databases and Western Australian utility benchmarks. Pair the output with a PCM commissioning strategy review before locking design.

Feasibility Sizing Platform

Commissioning timeline includes planning, dynamic water balancing and integrated systems testing — across 6 CIBSE stage gates.

ESG Appraisals

Sustainable Systems & ESG Savings Estimator

Select high-performance building systems to evaluate carbon offsets and operational savings — sized to your GFA using Western Australian utility rates.

Estimated Savings / Year$150,528 / yrAcross 32% of baseline utility cost.
CO₂ Offset Estimate
376.3 tCO₂ / yr
Baseline Annual Utility Cost
$470,400

Calculations use the WA commercial electricity rate of $0.28/kWh and an emissions factor of 0.70 kgCO₂/kWh.

Applying Early-Stage Feasibility Best Practices

Establishing plant footprints and structural allowances during the conceptual feasibility phase avoids significant spatial conflicts and expensive post-contract design revisions.

How we engage with developers

Your independent voice on the project.

Contracted directly by the developer or asset owner as the Independent Commissioning Agent (ICA), we sit on your side of the table — collaborating with the builder, reporting back to you without filter.

We work with the builder. We answer to you.
Independence · 100% owner-side

Developer-direct (ICA role)

As your Independent Commissioning Agent we witness, review and sign off the builder's testing and handover — protecting your investment, validating performance against the brief and securing Green Star and NABERS credits.

  • › One contract, one reporting line — direct to the owner.
  • › No design or installation conflicts of interest.
  • › Evidence-based assurance from feasibility to operation.
