Recent & Future Projects
One of the new build properties on the client’s estate is a new accommodation block comprised of over 300 rooms and built exclusively for students in South London. Gratte Brothers carried out the installation and commissioning of the new access control and intercom systems throughout the 8-storey building, integrating the systems into the university’s enterprise infrastructure which was built the year prior.
A second new build property currently underway is a teaching facility within which Gratte Brothers will commission the new access control system to allow the building to come online within the estate’s integrated security infrastructure.
Gratte Brothers is also currently consulting with the client on a number of further projects including the deployment of mobile credentials and the implementation of a dedicated visitor management system, with the aim being to deliver effective performance with minimal hassle and return on investment.
