Studio

From drawings to deliverables.

Studio is the office side of a BMS project. Drop in the files you already have – specifications, drawings, schedules, emails – and it reads, matches and assembles the paperwork, checks what it found with you, then builds the finished documents.

How it works

Four steps for every job

The same simple flow whether it's a quote or an O&M manual – so nobody needs training to use it.

Pick a task

Quote, proposal letter, Description of Operations, controller software, O&M manual or handover pack.

Drop the files

The project folder, or whatever you have. Studio works out which drawing revision is current and what each file is.

Check what was found

Points, datasheets, revisions and questions are laid out for you to confirm or correct before anything is built.

Branded Word, Excel and PDF documents, named and organised the way your company files them.

Winning the work

Quotes built from the tender documents

Studio reads the specification, drawings and mechanical schedules and builds the BMS points list straight into your quoting workbook – real catalogue items, not free text – with every point traced back to the clause or schedule it came from.

  • Quote a Project – points lists by panel, ready to price
  • Re-engineer System – cheaper controllers and field devices for the same scope, side by side
  • Quote Letter – the proposal letter: price, inclusions, exclusions, scope and document register

Engineering the system

Descriptions of Operations and controller software

From the panel drawings, specification and IO schedules, Studio writes a properly branded Description of Operations – control sequences, alarm tables, IO tables and appendices – and carries forward any edits made to the previous revision.

The same description then drives the controller software: strategies designed with your strategy library and engineering standards, annotated, plotted and fully alarmed, ready to load.

  • Plant images and datasheets pulled from the shared library
  • Every sensor given sensible alarm limits, every lamp coloured correctly
  • Trend IQ5 and Delta eBCON today, more platforms to follow

Every task starts the same way: pick it, drop the files.
Handing over

O&M manuals and handover packs, assembled

At the end of a project Studio gathers the latest panel drawings, every manufacturer's datasheet, the Description of Operations and the commissioning sheets, generates the certificate and zips the final O&M manual. The service handover pack follows the same way, with contacts, passwords and software backups.

  • Datasheets matched by part code from a library of thousands
  • Only the current drawing revisions – superseded ones left out
  • Anything missing flagged, or requested from the supplier

Coming next

Following the project on site

The next Studio modules take the same approach from the office into the installation itself.

Panel Drawing

The control panel drawing set from the quote's points list: layout, power and IO wiring, terminal schedules and lamp legend, to your panel standard.

Install Tracker

Panels, field devices and cabling by area – what's fitted, tested and outstanding, with photos, shared with the whole team.

Commissioning Tracker

Point-by-point commissioning against the points list and Description of Operations, feeding the commissioning sheets automatically.

Pence, not pounds

Only the reading of drawings uses AI; choosing revisions, matching, converting and zipping is plain code. Every request is logged with its cost.

Your standards, every time

Templates, naming, branding and engineering rules are built in, so every document comes out consistent – whoever runs the job.

Shared with BMS AR

One datasheet library and part-code index across Studio and BMS Augmented Reality – the documents you hand over are the ones your service team uses.
