Design Consultancy

At eco-i, we design intelligent, future-ready buildings that combine technology, efficiency, and sustainability.

Many building management systems and smart technologies are still designed without proper attention to data ontology. As new communication methods emerge, outdated specifications risk poor system interoperability, inefficiency, costly retrofits, and potential indemnity claims if obsolete technology is used.

Including data ontology in design ensures your building’s systems work seamlessly and future-proof your investment We ensure your building specifications are always up to date, protecting your investment and delivering spaces that are safe, efficient, and truly intelligent.

From new constructions to upgrades, we guide you through the best practices, minimising risk and maximising performance Eco-I is certified in WiredScore and SmartScore, qualified to provide design and accreditation for commercial, residential, and industrial buildings.
