Admiralty Arch: 184 control panels facing Buckingham Palace
A landmark building required specialist delivery across an unusually complex set of controls and integrations.

The Admiralty Arch project required 184 control panels across 104 guest rooms, 12 suites and five super-prime residences facing Buckingham Palace.
The scope also included 21 lock-off lobby systems and 19 lighting control panels covering the ballroom, restaurants, spa, foyer and guestroom corridors.
Seven building and hospitality systems had to operate together. The consequence of leaving those interfaces until site would have been delay, rework and uncertainty at the point the programme had the least room for any of them.
OKTO took responsibility for the specialist delivery and integration work. The interfaces were resolved and tested away from site so the team arrived to optimise a working system rather than discover how it behaved under deadline pressure.
On a project of this complexity, the value of specialist delivery is not another package. It is fewer unresolved questions at handover.
