Building Owners & Facility Managers

Building Automation & Controls for Building Owners

Controls that fit your facility operations — not just the sequence of operations. Assessments, modernization planning, commissioning, documentation, training and service for the people who are accountable for the building.

Site assessment

What a controls assessment covers

What is actually installed — controllers, devices, networks, platform and firmware
Which parts are supportable, and which are carrying end-of-life risk
Where sequences, schedules and setpoints have drifted from the original intent
What documentation exists and what has to be rebuilt
A prioritised list you can budget against, phased if you need it to be

The position you are usually in

You inherited a system somebody else designed, installed and left

Most facility teams did not choose their controls system. It arrived with the building, or with a previous owner, or with a capital project that finished before anyone was trained on it. The documentation is partial, the graphics stop halfway through the third floor, and the one person who understood the schedules retired.

That is a normal starting point, not an embarrassing one. The work is the same either way: find out what is actually installed, get it back to a state someone can operate, and build a maintenance and replacement plan you can budget against.

What you end up with

Outcomes, not just deliverables

A system your team can operate

Graphics that show the answer, schedules that can be changed without a service call, and training on the system you actually have.

A documentation set that exists

Points list, sequences, record drawings, device inventory and database backups — in your possession, not ours.

A replacement plan you can budget

What is end-of-life now, what will be in three years, and what it costs to phase rather than replace at once.

Fewer repeat comfort calls

Root causes corrected and recorded, so the same complaint does not return each season.

Visibility into runtime

Trends and schedules reviewed against real occupancy, so after-hours waste is visible rather than assumed.

One accountable contact

The same team that engineers the sequence installs it, commissions it and services it afterward.

Site assessment request

Tell us about the facility

The assessment request asks for your organization, contact, facility name and address, building type, current BAS or controls platform if known, the primary issue or goal, the number of buildings if applicable, and your desired timing. You can attach photos, screenshots, control drawings, equipment schedules or any other documents you have.

Bleuwave Controls will review the request and contact you regarding next steps.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

No — it is one of the most common starting points. Identifying the platform, controller families, network layout and firmware levels is part of the assessment. A photo of a controller label or the login screen is usually enough for us to tell you what you are looking at before we even visit.

Scope and cost depend on facility size and how much documentation exists. What you receive is a written record of what is installed, its condition and supportability, where sequences and schedules have drifted, and a prioritised list of recommendations with rough budget ranges. That document is yours regardless of whether you engage us for the work.

Yes, and phased work is the norm rather than the exception. A migration architecture designed for multi-year phasing lets you address the highest-risk systems first while keeping the rest integrated. What matters is designing the phasing up front so each year's work builds toward the same end state.

That is the intent. Schedule changes, setpoint adjustments, override handling and basic troubleshooting should be things your team can do without calling anyone. Training on the system as installed and a written quick-reference guide are part of turnover. Where a platform genuinely restricts owner-level access, we will tell you that before you commit to it.

No. Agreements are available where ongoing coverage makes sense for a facility, but we take project and one-off service work without one. We would rather earn the ongoing relationship than require it up front.

Next step

Start with an assessment of what you actually have

Share the facility details and any documentation you can find. If you have none, say so — rebuilding the record is part of the work, and it is often the most valuable part.
