PHASE 2: DESIGN
During the design phase, Paragon Controls works together with the design team to optimize the layout and integration of the systems required to meet the owner’s needs. Making these decisions at the earliest phase of design helps to gain consensus, mitigate risk, and reduce change orders during construction and systems installation. Once system components are identified, the design and Paragon Controls teams make instrumentation selections to maximize the efficiency, integration, and service of the smart building systems. Paragon Controls leverages their network of distributors and value-added re-sellers to bring proven, smart building solutions to clients requiring new construction, retrofit, or system refresh. Our network of industry leaders possesses the experience, expertise and innovative services and solutions to create the systems environment that meets operational objectives.
