Roger Preston Networks

Roger Preston Networks is a specialist Division of Roger Preston & Partners offering expert advice and technical design services for ICT, Automation and Security Systems on building related projects.

We recognise that today's building infrastructures demand a wide range of complex and integrated systems. We are able to offer the client a friendly, dedicated and experienced team of specialist engineers who know the value of understanding the clients requirements and working within a wider building design team to deliver a successful project.

Expert and Impartial


In such a complex and fast-changing industry, it is perhaps not surprising to find a predominance of contractors and advisers that rely on close ties to specific manufacturers for technical support.

 

In contrast, our specialist engineers have wide experience of every type of system and constantly update their skills to ensure that the advice to our clients is current and wholly supplier independent. The impartiality of our advice ensures the appropriateness of all our design solutions and results in a truly competitive tendering and procurement process.
 

Client Centred


We believe that understanding our clients’ business and their values is a fundamental prerequisite to the development of successful design solutions.

 

From production of an initial brief through to hand over and acceptance, we constantly measure the evolving scheme against the agreed objectives in terms of performance, cost, programme and maintainability.
 

Added Value


Value Management and Value Engineering is at the heart of our service. Regular value assessment checks are carried out based upon projected life cycle costs taking into account the full range of relevant variables including first cost, necessary software licensing, maintenance and the all-important future proofing of the technology.

 

Once identified, we expect the contractor/supplier to participate fully in the continued search for value whilst maintaining adherence to the agreed principles of design. By this means, the final installation benefits from the expertise of all its stakeholders, leading to highly robust solutions.
 

System Integration


Many building systems are now based upon common communication protocols, thus opening up the possibility of extensive system integration and associated cost savings. Whilst security and integrity demand that certain networks remain standalone, it is increasingly the case that cost benefits can flow from fully integrating such functions as life safety systems, building management and basic building security.

 

Our ability to bring to bear expertise across the entire range of building services systems readily enables us to evaluate the case for integration and, where proven, fully realise the associated value.
 

Consultant Led


Whilst our consultancy service can be tailored to meet any range of required duties, our preferred approach to our commissions is typically consultant led; not only during design but throughout the installation.

 

By means of this approach, we aim to rapidly resolve any design related issues that might arise and also take a lead in supporting the Contractor and suppliers in achieving an exemplary installation.
 

Co-ordinated Design


Successful ICT installations are as much about optimizing the support environment as the quality of the system itself. Unreliable power supplies and inadequate environmental control can bring even the best-designed network to its knees.

 

Our network engineers can call upon Roger Preston and Partners in-depth experience of mechanical and electrical engineering services to ensure that there are no weak links in the chain.
