The Prime Controls Process

At Prime Controls, we follow a well-defined process that ensures we deliver the most effective possible results for our clients.

The process consists of seven stages. The first stage is an initial consultation where we take the time to fully understand your requirements. This is followed by a site visit to gather all the necessary information.

We then prepare and present a tailored proposal that is based on your specific needs and building. Once you have approved the proposal, we proceed with the implementation of the Controls plan, and the project commences in an agreed time frame.

Our team works diligently to complete the project and ensures that it is delivered on time, within budget and to your satisfaction.

Once the project is complete, we conduct a formal handover and provide training, documentation, and support. This ensures that the system meets your needs and that you are fully satisfied with the results.
