Getting it right at the design stage is critical for success – but the work involved can be seriously time-consuming.
Our Design and Build service takes the weight off your shoulders with full system design, all at no additional cost.
What is Design and Build?
Design and Build is headed up by our technical team, who essentially handle the work you’d normally do at the design stage for you.
We look at the space that requires an AC system, and select the best fit for your project – based on technical considerations, as well as factors such as budget, energy ratings, and your manufacturer preference.
You don’t need to know exactly which units you need, what capacity will work best, or which systems to specify. Simply share your project details, and we’ll help you select a system that meets your requirements.
How does Design and Build benefit your projects?
Here’s a quick summary of how we can make your life easier with Design and Build.
You can rely on trusted technical expertise
You’ll have experienced ACR specialists doing the technical heavy lifting. From heat load calculations to system schematics, we do all the legwork – and each member of the team has the experience and expertise to give you confidence your project is in safe hands.
We can help you identify the right solution for your budget
No-one knows products and systems better than we do. We can find a solution to fit your budget while meeting the demands of the site.
And if we need to break the spec to benefit your project, we’re not limited to one manufacturer, so you know you’re getting the best solution for the job at hand. If we spot an issue, we’ll let you know early so you can avoid costly rework.
There’s no cost or commitment attached
Our tech team can help you find the most efficient, cost-effective solution using products from your chosen manufacturer through Design and Build, without any cost attached to the service itself.
A partner from design to delivery
Once the design is finalised, we’ll help coordinate ordering and deliveries, keeping the project running smoothly right up to installation.
It’s one more thing off your to-do list
We’d all rather cut our to-do list where we can. If yours is looking longer every day, we can tick a big task off for you with Design and Build – freeing up your time to be better spent elsewhere.
