Complete building services.Designed to work as one.

Both. AVC Integrations is a building technology consultancy that also delivers and commissions. We can act as your MEP design consultant, your installer, or take single-point responsibility for the whole engineering scope, design, installation, commissioning and aftercare.

We focus on complex, high-value residential and commercial projects across London: prime homes, listed buildings, apartments, hotels, restaurants, offices and corporate fit-outs, typically where mechanical, electrical and technology systems need to be designed to work as one.

Yes. We routinely coordinate with architects, interior designers, developers and main contractors, integrating our BIM models, drawings and programme with the wider project team so services are resolved before they reach site.

We are based in London and work throughout Greater London and the surrounding South East, with selected projects across the UK for established clients.

Yes. After commissioning we offer client training, planned maintenance and remote support, with service agreements to keep mechanical, electrical, automation and IT systems performing year after year.

They are the same technology. VRV (Variable Refrigerant Volume) is Daikin's trademarked name, while VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) is the generic industry term used by manufacturers such as Mitsubishi Electric and others. Both vary refrigerant flow to match demand, allowing simultaneous heating and cooling across many indoor units from one outdoor system, ideal for apartments, offices and hotels.

VRF/VRV suits buildings with multiple rooms or zones that need independent temperature control and high efficiency, such as prime residences, offices and hospitality spaces. We size and design the system to the building's heat gains and losses, then specify discreet indoor units and condenser locations that respect the architecture.

MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) supplies fresh filtered air and extracts stale air while recovering up to ~90% of the heat that would otherwise be lost. In airtight modern and refurbished homes it delivers excellent air quality and energy efficiency, and helps meet Building Regulations Part F (ventilation) and Part L (energy).

Most new and substantially refurbished dwellings need a designed ventilation strategy to satisfy Approved Document Part F. Depending on airtightness and layout this may be MVHR, continuous extract (MEV) or intermittent extract. We assess your project and design a compliant, low-energy solution.

A chiller produces chilled water that is distributed to fan coil units, air handling units or chilled beams to cool a building. Chillers are typically used on larger commercial buildings, hotels and high-end residences where a central cooling plant is more efficient and flexible than many individual condensers.

Air source heat pumps deliver heating (and often cooling) far more efficiently than gas boilers and align with the UK's low-carbon direction and Part L. The right choice depends on heat demand, available space, flow temperatures and emitters. We model the options and design a system that balances comfort, running cost and carbon.

Comfort cooling lowers air temperature only, whereas full air conditioning also controls humidity and ventilation. For prime interiors we design systems that maintain stable temperature and humidity quietly and discreetly, with carefully positioned grilles and acoustically treated plant.

Yes. We design and coordinate ductwork in 3D and size it for low air velocity, with attenuators and anti-vibration mountings where needed, so ventilation is effective and virtually silent, essential in bedrooms, media rooms and boardrooms.

Commissioning is the process of testing, adjusting and balancing every part of a mechanical system so airflows, water flows and temperatures match the design. It is essential for comfort, efficiency and compliance, and we provide full commissioning records at handover.

Underfloor heating gives even, comfortable warmth at low flow temperatures, which pairs perfectly with heat pumps, and frees up wall space, ideal for high-end interiors. Radiators respond faster and can be cheaper to retrofit. We often combine both, zoned and automated for efficiency.

Yes. We design electrical installations to BS 7671 (the IET Wiring Regulations), from load assessment and distribution strategy to final testing, inspection and certification, providing electrical installation certificates on completion.

A distribution board (consumer unit) is where incoming power is divided into the circuits that feed your building, with protective devices for each. Signs you may need an upgrade include an old board without RCD protection, frequent tripping, no spare capacity for new loads (EV charging, AC, heat pump) or a failed EICR. We assess and design upgrades that are safe and future-proof.

An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal inspection of an installation's safety. As guidance, domestic installations are typically checked at least every 10 years (5 years or change of tenancy for rentals) and commercial premises every 5 years. We carry out testing and remedial works.

Yes. We design and install electric vehicle charging for homes, apartment developments and commercial car parks, including load management so multiple chargers can run without overloading the supply, and integration with the building's energy and automation systems.

Emergency lighting automatically illuminates escape routes if the power fails. It is a legal requirement for most commercial and multi-occupancy buildings under fire safety legislation and BS 5266. We design, install, test and certify compliant emergency lighting.

Yes. We design robust power distribution for high-demand environments: swimming pools and spas, commercial kitchens, mechanical plant, home cinemas and server rooms, with appropriate protection, resilience and capacity for future growth.

Each excels in different areas. Crestron and Control4 are powerful whole-home control and AV platforms; KNX is a robust open standard popular for lighting, blinds and HVAC control; Lutron leads in lighting control and motorised shading. We are platform-independent and recommend the right system, or combination, for your needs, budget and architecture.

A well-designed system controls lighting, heating and cooling, motorised blinds and curtains, audio-visual, security, access and energy: through elegant keypads, touch panels, voice and a mobile app. Scenes let a single press set lighting, climate, shading and music together.

Yes, and this is our core strength. By engineering the systems together and integrating them over common protocols, lighting, climate, shading, AV and IT operate as one coordinated, intelligent environment rather than separate apps and remotes.

Yes. Secure mobile apps let you control and monitor your property from anywhere, adjust climate before you arrive, check cameras, set scenes or receive alerts, with remote support so we can help without always needing a site visit.

Designing automation early gives the best results and lowest cost, because cabling, keypad positions and equipment locations are coordinated from the outset. We can also retrofit wireless solutions into existing or listed buildings where chasing cables is not practical.

A BMS is a centralised control system that monitors and manages a building's services: heating, ventilation, cooling, lighting, energy and sometimes security, to keep occupants comfortable while minimising energy use. It is standard on larger commercial buildings, hotels and high-end residences.

They overlap, but a BMS is engineering-led and focused on efficiently managing plant and services (often across a whole building), while smart home platforms like Crestron and Control4 emphasise lifestyle, AV and user experience. On premium projects we frequently integrate the two.

Niagara is a widely used framework that connects equipment from different manufacturers into one platform. Open protocols such as BACnet and Modbus prevent vendor lock-in, so your controls can integrate diverse plant and be maintained or extended by others in future, something we design in from the start.

Yes. By scheduling plant, optimising start/stop, controlling to demand and trending energy data, a well-commissioned BMS typically cuts energy use significantly and supports compliance and ESG reporting. We design controls strategies focused on measurable efficiency.

Yes. Reliable Wi-Fi depends on a solid wired backbone: access points, TVs, automation processors, cameras and AV all perform best on structured cabling. We design fibre and copper infrastructure, racks and cabinets to a documented standard that supports today's needs and future upgrades.

Wi-Fi 7 is the latest wireless standard, offering higher speeds, greater capacity and lower latency, valuable in homes and offices with many connected devices, 4K/8K streaming and video conferencing. We design enterprise-grade wireless with seamless coverage so there are no dead spots.

Yes. We design and install scalable, secure networks for entire buildings: enterprise switching, firewalls, VPN, cloud management and resilient Wi-Fi across multiple floors and outdoor areas: built to carry data, automation, AV and security on one robust platform.
