DID YOU KNOW:

  • Brindleyplace was named after James Brindley the 18th century canal engineer
  • Formerly Nine Brindleyplace, the 51,700 sq ft property has also been rebranded the Oozells Building
  • Forming part of a wider strategy for the award-winning privately managed Brindleyplace estate, over £7 million has been committed to the refurbishments and updates of three buildings, including the Oozells Building which provides a high quality office environment
  • This project offers split tenancy layout- two tenants a floor
  • The building offers Grade A specification, a new cycle hub, rooftop terrace and Business Lounge
  • Unique exposed services featuring new VRF comfort cooling
  • Basement showers, drying room and cycle parking
  • Every touch point across the 1.5 million sq ft estate has been considered – from enhancement to the estate’s renowned events programme of festivals and markets to the development of a series of new initiatives, such as yoga sessions
  • Caroline Pooley, Director of Destination Marketing at Avison Young, said: “The new brand has been developed following a two year research and consultation period with the estate’s occupiers. Brindleyplace is a key part of Birmingham’s ongoing regeneration story”

Simmtronic have delivered a large number of technically challenging projects for DBS and consistently continued to provide outstanding service. Their support, guidance and help throughout the process has been exceptional, working closely with our design teams to ensure the right solution for the project and a sound understanding of the brief, with our delivery teams to ensure the installation and commissioning are trouble free and then providing fantastic after care to the customer. They have added true engineered value into the projects they have been involved in for Derry Building Services.

Simmtronic have been a valued member of the DBS supply chain for over 10 years. Their pro-active and collaborative approach to lighting controls from the design stage, through to commissioning is highly valued by both our Design and Delivery Engineers.

Over the years I have really appreciated the Simmtronic ability to provide responsive support and listening to projects and clients needs. More recently the Simmtronic team has shown the capability to embrace the connectivity requirements of the Internet of Things by quickly adding MQTT to their range of integration protocols. This will greatly facilitate telemetry applications in buildings and the development of interconnected solutions that will make buildings more usable and easier to operate.

Simmtronic as an organisation has been, for the last 18 years, by far the best performing and most reliable lighting control system I use. From design through to commissioning and soft landings with the landlord teams Simmtronic always deliver on my projects. Simmtronic technology evolution is not just pushed through like others, but rather properly tested internally first, giving us as client teams the assurance that what Simmtronic say they can offer is 100% delivered, an absolute must with fast track major projects.

Simmtronic has constantly been available at an early stage to engage both with the designers and the Contracting team to assist with design solutions and to test options. This ultimately assists us in de-risking the project during the commissioning phase which usually defines when the project is completed. Simmtronic is seen as ‘industry standard’ and it is always encouraging to see them involved.
