What we do

Consultation

Engineering-first advice on lighting, solar & power, and intelligent infrastructure: what the site actually requires, and how to prove a solution will deliver it.

Get it right the first time.

Poor design, selection and specification quietly create cost, liability and missed savings. Decisions about lighting, power and smart infrastructure touch:

  • Bottom line
  • Safety
  • Productivity
  • Environment
  • Health
What we advise on

Three areas, one engineering team.

Lighting

  • Light levels and uniformity
  • Glare and light trespass
  • Fixture selection and specification

Solar & power

  • Load and demand
  • Storage and autonomy
  • On-grid, off-grid or hybrid

Intelligent infrastructure

  • Connectivity and platform
  • Working with existing systems
  • Data you can act on

Common to all three Standards and regulatory compliance. We know the industry standards, recommended practices, codes and utility requirements that govern your site, and we document how the design meets each one.

Our approach

Requirement first. Equipment second.

Price-driven

Engineering-first

A spec sheet

Starts with

What the site requires

The lowest upfront price

Decides on

A proven design

Performance on day one

Designs for

Performance maintained year after year

The data sheet’s claims

Proves performance with

Simulation before, measurement after

Assumed from the data sheet

Compliance

Documented against each standard

The equipment

Counts the cost of

Energy and maintenance over its life

Rework, early replacement and missed savings

Result

No surprises, no rework: the right solution first time

What it costs over its life.

The fixture is the smallest part of the bill. Energy, maintenance and rework decide what a project really costs.

Illustrative. Proportions differ on every project.

The whole project

A business model that makes sense.

We look at the whole project: what goes in, and everything it can give back, from safety and efficiency to opportunities no one had spotted.

What goes in
  • Requirement
  • Design
  • Equipment
  • Financing
What comes back
  • Energy and maintenance savings
  • Operational efficiencies
  • Insight and hidden opportunities
  • New smart and IoT applications

How we prove it

Modelled before it is bought. Measured once it is built.

  1. 01DefineThe levels, loads or data the site needs.
  2. 02SimulateThe design is modelled before anything is bought.
  3. 03InstallBuilt and installed to the design.
  4. 04VerifyMeasured on site against the requirement.
Backed by
  • Independent test reports
  • Certifications
  • Industry standards and recommended practices
  • Codes and utility requirements
What you receive

Everything the project needs, nothing it does not.

  • With a CONXCORP project
  • Or on its own
  • Requirements briefWhat the site must achieve, in writing.
  • Design and simulationPhotometric, power or system design, modelled.
  • SpecificationWhat to buy, and why.
  • Compliance and submittal reviewChecked before it is approved.
  • Post-installation verificationMeasured, not assumed.
  • TrainingFor your team, in every category we supply.

Before you buy

Six questions worth asking.

We answer every one of them before anything is bought.

  1. RequirementAre we designing to what the site needs, or just replacing what is there?
  2. ValueAre we buying on lowest price, or on value over the life of the system?
  3. RiskCould this choice expose us to safety or liability risk?
  4. ComplianceDoes it meet every standard, code and utility requirement that applies?
  5. ProofWhat proves it will perform, on day one and for years after?
  6. IntegrationWill it work with what we have today, and what we add tomorrow?
