Working with Architects:

"A house is a machine for living in."

Le Corbusier, ref. “Vers Une Architecture” 1923

We agree, and catering for technologies that we use everyday is an important component of that machine.

Whether it is for communication, entertainment or taking control of essential systems, we believe the modern building needs to offer a “standard fit” infrastructure for current and future technology.

thinkingbricks is a CEDIA Electronic Systems Professional Company, which assures we have the expertise, commitment and insurances in place to act as a professional designer and installer of technology.

Our commitment to spreading the word about technology includes offering RIBA CPD Accredited seminars on what we can offer to projects and clients – both architects and the clients.

We also produce regular technology updates for those who have attended the seminars, as an ongoing resource.

thinkingbricks work together with architects to develop and understand their client’s requirements, and deliver whatever technology and systems are required to make a real difference to their clients use of the property.

The lighting your client will turn on and off every day, or a way to deliver the music they want to listen to, wherever they choose to listen to it.

Many of our architects’ clients are looking for ways to integrate a “green” element into their design.

Technology can be a great way to automate / adapt energy usage to make sure it is used efficiently. Intelligent control systems can provide greater control over the most wasteful systems in any UK property – lighting and heating.

thinkingbricks provides everything from initial ideas and advice, quotes and technical data, as well as full design documentation, including the wiring, connections and specifications for the hardware.

Our design service ensures our designs can be produced in a variety of formats to ensure they dovetail with the architectural plans, and are clear for third parties to refer.

Whether it is a site meeting with electrical contractors, or a client meeting to agree the systems involved, we deal with the practical aspects of making the finished installation work, project managing every aspect of our installation.

At the final stages, thinkingbricks familiarize the clients with the controls and capabilities of the installation.

We find this training service makes for fully satisfied customers, both in the architectural firms we deal with and in the spaces they have helped to create.
