Better systems start
before installation.

MAS provides the planning, design, coordination, programming, commissioning, and technical support required to turn technology requirements into systems that work in the real world.

Technology is only as good
as the decisions behind it.

Access control, electronic locking, networks, connected infrastructure, and building technology rarely exist independently. They intersect with architecture, doors and hardware, electrical systems, low-voltage pathways, networks, elevators, gates, software, operations, and the people who ultimately use the property.

MAS provides technical services across that process — helping owners, developers, contractors, design teams, and property operators move from requirements and drawings to a coordinated, programmed, commissioned, and supportable system.

Technology planning and system design for building access and connected systems

From concept through turnover.
And beyond.

MAS can support the technology lifecycle at the points where experience, coordination, and technical execution have the greatest impact on the finished system.

01

Planning & System Design

Translate operational requirements into practical technology strategies, system architecture, access concepts, infrastructure requirements, and project scope.

02

Site Surveys & Existing Conditions

Document existing openings, hardware, infrastructure, connectivity, system conditions, and field constraints before design, modernization, or corrective work begins.

03

BIM / VDC Coordination

Coordinate technology locations, pathways, openings, infrastructure, interfaces, and installation requirements within the broader construction model and project workflow.

04

Programming & Configuration

Configure supported systems, devices, doors, credentials, permissions, schedules, workflows, integrations, and operational parameters around the requirements of the property.

05

Commissioning & Verification

Verify that installed systems, controlled openings, credentials, communications, integrations, and operational workflows perform as intended before turnover.

06

Service & Technical Support

Diagnose system problems, address field conditions, support changes, and help existing technology remain useful as the property and its operational needs evolve.

Solve it on the plans.
Not in the field.

Technology problems discovered during installation are often coordination problems that began much earlier.

MAS can work with owners, architects, consultants, contractors, VDC teams, hardware suppliers, and technology partners to identify those requirements before they become expensive field conflicts.

BIM and VDC coordination for access control and building technology
01

Opening Coordination

Review doors, frames, electronic hardware, locking requirements, power, pathways, and related conditions at controlled openings.

02

Infrastructure Planning

Identify cabling, network, power, pathway, controller, gateway, and supporting infrastructure requirements before installation begins.

03

System Architecture

Develop an approach for how devices, software, credentials, networks, controllers, gateways, and integrations fit together.

04

Trade Coordination

Help clarify the interfaces between access control, doors and hardware, electrical, low voltage, networking, elevators, gates, and other project participants.

05

Constructability Review

Consider how the specified technology will actually be installed, connected, programmed, serviced, and operated after construction.

06

Operational Planning

Design permissions, credentials, workflows, and management practices around the people who will actually operate the finished system.

EARLIER IS BETTERThe least expensive field problem is the one that never reaches the field.

Early coordination gives the project team an opportunity to resolve interfaces, infrastructure, opening conditions, and operational requirements while they are still decisions — not change orders.

Sometimes the project
starts with a problem.

Not every engagement begins with new construction. Existing properties may be dealing with aging technology, incomplete documentation, unreliable devices, disconnected systems, unsupported hardware, or years of changes made without a broader plan.

01

System Assessment

Evaluate existing hardware, software, infrastructure, connectivity, configuration, and field conditions to understand what is actually installed.

02

Troubleshooting

Work through hardware, communications, configuration, credential, and system behavior issues to identify the underlying problem rather than simply replacing parts.

03

Modernization Planning

Develop a practical path from aging or fragmented technology toward a more supportable system without assuming everything must be replaced at once.

04

Expansion & Changes

Support new openings, additional buildings, renovated spaces, operational changes, and other requirements that affect an existing system.

05

Configuration Review

Review supported system configuration, permissions, schedules, credentials, and workflows where the technology no longer reflects current operations.

06

Documentation

Help establish a clearer understanding of system components, locations, conditions, and technical requirements for future work.

START WITH WHAT EXISTSUnderstand the system before deciding what to replace.

A modernization strategy should account for what still works, what does not, what can remain, what needs to change, and where the property ultimately wants to go.

From the first conversation
through system turnover.

Good technology delivery is a process. Requirements need to become designs. Designs need to coordinate with the building. Installed systems need to be configured, tested, documented, and understood.

MAS can remain involved across those stages so the original intent does not disappear somewhere between the plans and the finished property.

Technology system design and construction coordinationField coordination for electronic access and connected building technology
01

Discover

Understand the property, stakeholders, operational requirements, existing conditions, project goals, and constraints.

02

Design

Translate those requirements into system concepts, locations, architecture, infrastructure, credentials, and technical requirements.

03

Coordinate

Work through openings, hardware, pathways, power, networks, interfaces, trades, and installation conditions before they become field conflicts.

04

Configure

Program supported systems, doors, devices, credentials, permissions, schedules, and operational workflows around the property.

05

Commission

Test and verify system operation, communications, controlled openings, permissions, and supported integrations before turnover.

06

Support

Help the operating team understand what they received and provide technical support as requirements, spaces, and systems change.

CONTINUITY MATTERSThe people who understand the design should understand the finished system.

Maintaining technical continuity across design, coordination, programming, commissioning, and turnover helps protect the original intent of the project.

More than a contractor.
A technical partner.

MAS combines field experience with planning, coordination, programming, commissioning, and system knowledge to help bridge the gap between what gets designed, what gets installed, and what the property actually needs to operate.
