Along with obtaining several globally acknowledged certifications, such as KNX Worldwide Standards.

Projects Procedure

Initial visit

To begin the project, Tico’s experts visit the site of the project to observe the progress made in construction operations as well as the electrical installations. At the same time conducting a briefing meeting with the project owner and project managers to give a complete and thorough explanation about the smart systems, their capabilities and various brands available while receiving the project’s requirements from their side. Then, an expert’s report on the client’s requests and needs is made out as the basis for proposal preparation.

Proposal

Upon determination of the client’s requirements, a comprehensive technical and financial proposal containing various options, both financial and technical, for the project is prepared. The client is now in the position to make his final decision through comparing different options laid before him by comparing the cost, quality, appearance and function offered for each option. It should be noted that making a proposal is free of charge for all potential clients

Signing a contract

Once the esteemed client chooses a particular solution, among all on offer, and a firm agreement is made on the technical specification, total cost of project, terms of payment and delivery date. Then a formal and binding contract is drawn out accordingly, and signed by the parties concerned.

Design and engineering

After signing the contract, the technical and engineering phase of the project begins. Thus; through regular meetings with the electricians, in charge of the electric power side of the building, instructions on construction of the electrical infrastructure required for the Smart Home and building management installations are presented. This, of course, is carried out by handing over comprehensive and detailed drawings to the people involved in said part of the project.

Procurement

As per the requirements of the project, various components and materials are duly ordered to the established suppliers of the agreed brands. Obviously, at all times, a proper follow up of the commercial and financial side of the procurement process is conducted by TICO.

Installation

As the actual construction of the building nears its completion, the work on the software side of the intelligent equipment commences. The basic design of the software is completed at TICO’s office and duly downloaded onto the devices by TISCO’s knowledgeable personnel.

Training and delivery

After ensuring the correct performance of the intelligent system devices, the hand-over of the whole system to the esteemed buyer is carried out. At the same time, an in depth training session on operation and basic maintenance of the equipment is conducted for the users and operators of the system. Upon the completion of the said training course a booklet containing the points discussed during the course and also a troubleshooting checklist is submitted to the client to insure the smooth operation of the system as the time goes by.

Professional support

Naturally, the maintenance and probable repairs in the normal life of a system is always clients’ concern. TICO has tried to maintain its connection with the clients and has always been available and responsive to their needs at the shortest possible notice.
