WHERE DO YOU STAND?

Six missions, one thread: the life of your asset.

An asset moves through distinct moments — an acquisition, doubts about what exists, a project, works on site, day-to-day operation, an incident. Each of these moments has a matching BUILD mission, with a defined scope, precise deliverables and written limits. All rest on the same conviction: data is the building's fourth utility, and its infrastructure deserves the same governance as the other three.

Digital & Connectivity Due Diligence

“What digital debt are you buying with the asset?”

THE MOMENT

An acquisition, a disposal, a financing round, a lease: a transaction timetable allows neither the time nor the access of a full audit. Within that window, the due diligence identifies what genuinely weighs on the asset's value and operability.

WHAT YOU GET

  • Red flags ranked by transactional materiality: critical, major, watch point, to be confirmed.
  • Risks, dependencies and plausible post-transaction CapEx orders of magnitude.
  • Precise questions to put to the seller, the landlord or the operators.
  • Negotiation recommendations: warranties, conditions, documentation to obtain.

WHAT IT PREVENTS

Discovering technical debt after signing — when it can no longer be negotiated.

Independent advice: the analysis has nothing to sell you. After acquisition, the audit deepens the findings and the Study & Advisory prepares the decisions.

Connectivity & Digital Infrastructure Audit

“What does your connectivity actually depend on?”

THE MOMENT

Your asset is connected and everything works — but no one knows precisely what that connectivity depends on, or what would happen if it stopped. Before a project, a change of occupier, or simply to establish an objective view of the asset, the audit surfaces what the drawings don't show.

WHAT YOU GET

  • An independent assessment: operator access, routes, networks, technical rooms, contracts and responsibilities.
  • A map of single points of failure and grey areas of responsibility.
  • A ranked priority plan: immediate measures, short-term improvements, structural investments.
  • An executive summary, readable by a board or an owner.

WHAT IT PREVENTS

Discovering a weakness on the day of an incident, works, or a letting campaign — when it costs the most. And investing in the wrong place, for lack of verified findings.

Independent advice: the findings have nothing to sell you. Audit findings feed directly into the Study & Advisory — without being redone — or into a Continuity engagement.

Study & Client-Side Advisory

“Which target — and which offers to retain?”

THE MOMENT

A project is on the table — a new site, a migration, a refurbishment, a tender. Requirements need writing, scenarios need comparing, operator and integrator offers need reading. The study defines the target; the advisory secures every decision through to the choice.

WHAT YOU GET

  • Requirements translated into briefs, prescriptions and specifications.
  • Compared scenarios: benefits, whole-life cost, feasibility, dependencies.
  • An independent, line-by-line review of third-party offers and commitments.
  • An implementation roadmap, with the decisions prepared.

WHAT IT PREVENTS

Design errors that cost for ten years, and offers accepted for lack of independent scrutiny.

Independent advice: the recommendation has nothing to sell you. Where an audit exists, the study builds on its findings without duplicating them; delivery is handled by project management.

Project Management

“Who coordinates the interfaces?”

THE MOMENT

Decisions are made; delivery begins. Operators, contractors, IT teams, site works: each masters its own scope — no one holds the interfaces between them. That is where connectivity projects drift.

WHAT YOU GET

  • Project governance: roles, forums, decision path, consolidated schedule.
  • Prerequisites cleared before critical phases: access, lead-ins, rooms, permissions, intervention windows.
  • Alerts and decisions prepared before a delay or overrun materialises.
  • Commissioning, acceptance and handover to operations, organised.

WHAT IT PREVENTS

Cascading delays, rework, and prerequisites discovered the day before a cutover.

Independent coordinator: the coordination has nothing to sell you. At commissioning, Continuity takes over.

Continuity, Resilience & Change Management

“Will today's connectivity hold tomorrow?”

THE MOMENT

The asset is in operation. Occupiers change, contracts age, documentation goes stale — and connectivity that is available today is not necessarily resilient tomorrow. This engagement maintains, over time, the legibility and robustness of the whole.

WHAT YOU GET

  • A critical-connectivity register kept up to date: access, contracts, contacts, responsibilities.
  • A resilience analysis and a continuity plan matched to actual criticality.
  • An alert and mobilisation chain prepared before the incident.
  • Stewardship of routine changes, from need to register update.

WHAT IT PREVENTS

Today's availability masking tomorrow's weakness — and hours lost finding out who to call during an outage.

Independent advice: the recommendation has nothing to sell you. This preparation conditions the full effectiveness of the emergency procedure.

Operator Emergency Procedure — Connectivity

“Who calls whom, right now?”

THE MOMENT

An incident or loss event hits your connectivity. Every hour spent routing between contacts who don't know each other is an hour of lost activity. This mission is transversal: it can be activated at any moment in the life of the asset.

WHAT YOU GET

  • Operators, providers and responders mobilised in parallel.
  • Cases opened at the right escalation level, with impact and priority stated.
  • The practical conditions for work to start prepared: access, contacts, site constraints.
  • A launch report, closing the activation phase.

WHAT IT PREVENTS

Hours lost while the business waits — and steps taken in the wrong order.

A fixed-fee service, per operator, with a written scope. Its full effectiveness is prepared upstream, within the Continuity engagement.

EVIDENCE FROM THE FIELD

What didn't happen. And what it would have cost.

Representative interventions — offices, co-ownerships, industrial sites, new developments — across Belgium and Luxembourg.

DUE DILIGENCE · 10,000 m² · Luxembourg

Technical debt quantified before signing

THE ISSUE

No visibility on the asset's digital maturity ahead of the transaction, with a risk of unidentified technical debt weighing on valuation and negotiation.

BUILD'S INTERVENTION

Full map of the digital infrastructure handed to the owner and the investors. A clear view of the asset, technical debt quantified, and consolidated negotiating arguments before signature.

Engagement: Due diligence

OFFICES & LOGISTICS · 10,000 m² · Liège

A healthy building's digital debt, made visible

THE ISSUE

A building in normal operation — no incidents, no complaints, no awareness of the problem: remote access to building systems and charging stations neither inventoried nor controlled, redundant telecom contracts adding up in the service charges, and operating data processed manually every month.

BUILD'S INTERVENTION

Connectivity and digital infrastructure audit: mapping of access, responsibilities and contracts, review of data flows. Delivered as a ranked priority plan — securing remote access, purging contractual redundancies, automating manually processed data flows. The owner now knows what was exposing them, and what each month was costing.

Engagement: Audit

ATTRACTIVENESS · 10,000 m² · Brussels

Lease secured through Day One connectivity

THE ISSUE

Risk of losing a major tenant over a floor under-provisioned for connectivity at the point of lease negotiation.

BUILD'S INTERVENTION

Emergency client-side management of the network extension to guarantee Day One connectivity meeting the tenant's requirements. Lease signature secured at the last minute.

Engagement: Study & Advisory

CO-OWNERSHIP · around twenty units · Brussels

A co-ownership fibre connection brought out of deadlock

THE ISSUE

A fibre connection file at a standstill in a high-standing residence of around twenty units: standard operator proposals incompatible with the quality of the common areas, undocumented exchanges, diluted responsibilities — and the scheduled copper switch-off weighing on lift lines and intercom systems.

BUILD'S INTERVENTION

Take-over of the file and its history, on-site surveys, multi-operator coordination and technical challenge of their proposals, with a review of innovative technical solutions suited to the building. Compared and costed integration scenarios, with a clear breakdown of who pays for what — resulting in the operators' technical requirements being reconciled with the co-owners' expectations.

Engagement: Study & Advisory

MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT · 1,400 m² · Antwerp

A new building marketed with its connectivity included

THE ISSUE

For a developer — ten apartments, two offices, one retail unit — connectivity usually comes as an afterthought, once candidates start asking for it. A direct risk to letting appeal and to the marketing schedule.

BUILD'S INTERVENTION

Assistance to the developer from design stage, in concert with the general contractor and the electrician, each remaining in charge of their own lot: external and internal connectivity, the building's digital backbone, operator prerequisites prepared. The building goes to market with its connectivity as a selling point — Day One ready.

Engagement: Study & Advisory

OFFICES · LOGISTICS · INDUSTRIAL · 6,750 m² · Nivelles

Every system on site, on a single backbone

THE ISSUE

A mixed site with inherited external and internal connectivity, and building systems in silos — BMS, intrusion, CCTV, EV charging, fire detection, signage — each with its own network, access and providers. No shared base for the site's data to flow.

BUILD'S INTERVENTION

Overhaul and optimisation of external and internal connectivity, then creation of the building's digital backbone — separate and partitioned from the client's operational networks, which remain their IT team's domain: building systems integrated on a single, segmented, documented base, working hand in hand, each within its own scope. The fourth utility now has its network, governed like the other three.

Engagement: Study & Advisory · Project management

PREVENTION · 15,000 m² · Brussels

Site shutdown avoided at the last minute

THE ISSUE

Unbudgeted diversion of buried telecom services during works, with an imminent risk of the site being shut down.

BUILD'S INTERVENTION

Emergency coordination with the telecom operators to relocate the fibre. Site shutdown avoided, operational continuity secured, and the additional cost contained through early intervention.

Engagement: Project management

OPERATION · 15,000 m² · Brussels

Service charge reduced, data recovered

THE ISSUE

Silent accumulation of obsolete lines, redundant subscriptions and expired maintenance contracts, weighing on the service charge without the property manager's knowledge.

BUILD'S INTERVENTION

Full audit of digital billing, removal of unnecessary costs and simplification of the technical architecture. Immediate reduction in the service charge and a lighter day-to-day load for the property manager.

Engagement: Continuity
