How long does an AURMAK deployment take?

It depends on the route. Pulse over existing data can move quickly when access is already available. Systems Integration timelines depend on site access, hardware scope, commissioning, and handover requirements. Integration plus Pulse combines both workstreams and is scoped after the diagnostic.

Do you replace our existing controllers?

Not by default. We first assess what data and control infrastructure already exists. If existing systems can support the required outcome, Pulse can connect to them. Replacement or new field hardware is proposed only where coverage, reliability, or project objectives require it.

Can you retrofit an older building?

Yes. Retrofit can mean Pulse over existing data, targeted sensor and meter additions, or a fuller local BMS/EMS delivery. The route is chosen after reviewing the building, existing systems, and desired operating model.

Is the platform cloud or on-premises?

It can be either, or both. Pulse is the cloud intelligence layer. Systems Integration can deliver a client-owned local system. Integration plus Pulse connects the physical data foundation to the Pulse platform where ongoing cloud intelligence is required.

How do you handle cybersecurity?

Security is scoped during the diagnostic and design phase. We agree data flows, identity requirements, local/cloud boundaries, access rules, and evidence requirements with the client's IT/security team before go-live.

Customer data ownership, processing, export, retention, and deletion are covered in the commercial and data-processing terms. The intention is clear: AURMAK processes building data to deliver the agreed service, not to take ownership of the client's estate data.

Will there be disruption to operations during install?

Disruption is planned around the chosen route. Pulse over existing data may require little or no site activity. Field installation is scheduled through agreed access windows, method statements, and commissioning plans before tools go on site.

Can the rollout be phased across multiple sites?

Yes. Multi-site programmes can start with sites that already have usable data, priority integration sites, or a pilot site that proves the operating model before wider rollout.

What systems do you integrate?

AURMAK works with existing BMS, IoT, meters, sensors, local applications, and third-party software platforms where access is approved. Detailed protocol and vendor mapping is handled during discovery and project documentation rather than published as a public blueprint.

What reporting evidence can you produce?

Reporting scope is agreed in the proposal. Where compliance evidence is required, AURMAK can structure energy, carbon, and operational data into the packs or exports needed by the client and their advisers.

What does AURMAK do that a single-vendor BMS supplier does not?

AURMAK does not force every client into the same model. If data already exists, Pulse may be enough. If the client wants a local system, Systems Integration can stand alone. If they need both, Integration plus Pulse connects the physical layer to cloud intelligence.

How is success measured after go-live?

Success measures are agreed in the proposal. They may include data coverage, energy trends, comfort conditions, fault volumes, maintenance actions, reporting outputs, or operational handover milestones depending on the selected route.

The delivery path

How we choose the right route to building intelligence

We start with the estate you have, then choose the right path: Pulse over existing data, Systems Integration only, or Integration plus Pulse. The delivery scope defines what we connect, what we install, what we hand over, and what AURMAK supports after go-live if a support scope is agreed.

Why one window

Most estates need a route, not another disconnected tool.

A side-by-side of common market options against AURMAK's route-led model: Pulse over existing data, Systems Integration only, or Integration plus Pulse.

What you usually buy

The delivery route

Every stage defines the route, the deliverable, and the handover.

Click a stage below to explore. The same process flexes for Pulse over existing data, client-owned local systems, and Integration plus Pulse deployments.

Stage 1

Diagnostic and route selection

We review the estate, available data, operational goals, and whether the right path is Pulse over existing data, Systems Integration only, or Integration plus Pulse.

What you receive

A diagnostic summary, data coverage view, opportunity register, and fixed-scope commercial proposal.

From AURMAK

Building services lead, Pulse specialist, integration lead, and commercial owner as required by the route.

From you

Existing platform context, sample data where available, site constraints, and a single point of contact.
