EBSA New Zealand Services
Project Delivery Options
Flexible delivery options for window automation, natural ventilation, smoke control, manual operating systems and architectural louvre packages.
EBSA NZ Ltd can support commercial building projects at different levels of delivery, from supply-only equipment packages through to coordinated project delivery, supply and install, or a full turnkey solution.
The right delivery model depends on the project scope, trade responsibilities, programme, site requirements and the level of technical coordination required for the window automation, natural ventilation, smoke control or louvre system being delivered.
EBSA can help project teams define the most suitable delivery model before products are ordered, so that responsibilities are clear between EBSA, the builder, aluminium joiner, electrician, mechanical contractor, fire contractor, BMS contractor and consultant team.
Delivery options to suit the project
Not every project needs the same level of EBSA involvement. Some projects require specialist products only. Others need technical support, documentation, project coordination, installation, field cabling, terminations, programming, commissioning or ongoing maintenance support.
The agreed scope should be defined early so that responsibilities for supply, installation, field cabling, programming, terminations, commissioning, glazing where relevant, and handover are clear.
Supply only
EBSA supplies the agreed products or equipment package for installation, field cabling, terminations, programming and commissioning by others.
This may include manual shaft and lever components, chain drives, window control panels, smoke control equipment, switches, sensors, accessories or louvre systems where required.
Supported supply
EBSA supplies the agreed products and can provide technical documentation, installation guidance, training or site attendance for the aluminium joiner, electrician or other project trades where included in scope.
This can assist where others are installing EBSA-supplied chain drives, manual shaft and lever components, field cabling or selected louvre systems.
Defined installation scope
EBSA supplies the agreed products and completes a defined part of the installation scope.
For example, EBSA may install chain drives to awning windows, install manual shaft and lever operating components, install control panels, complete automation hardware installation, or undertake selected field terminations while the project electrician completes field cabling.
Turnkey EBSA delivery
EBSA is responsible for delivering a complete defined solution.
The builder, electrician or other nominated trades typically provide permanent power, containment and third-party interface cabling to the EBSA control panel where required. EBSA then completes the agreed field cabling, terminations, drive programming, control-panel installation, interface coordination, commissioning, handover and DLP maintenance.
Supply-only does not mean unsupported
Even where EBSA is engaged for supply only, our team can provide technical product and system information to support installation planning, coordination, programming and commissioning by others, subject to the agreed project scope.
For automated opening systems, this may include drive selection information, control panel details, interface notes, wiring requirements, programming requirements and project documentation relevant to the supplied equipment.
EBSA’s role should be confirmed early so that the project team understands what is included, what is excluded, and which trade is responsible for each part of the installation and commissioning process.
Typical project delivery split
The final trade split is defined in EBSA’s proposal, but the table below shows a typical arrangement for a coordinated window-automation or operable-façade project.
| Project party | Typical responsibilities |
|---|---|
| EBSA | System design within EBSA’s scope, actuator and control-panel selection, specialist equipment supply, project-specific wiring information, programming, defined installation works, terminations, commissioning and handover support. |
| Builder or main contractor | Programme coordination, access, builder’s work, penetrations, support structures, permits, protection, integrated testing coordination and trade management. |
| Aluminium joiner or façade contractor | Window and façade fabrication, reinforcement, actuator fixing provisions, cable-entry coordination, seals, glazing and installation of the opening element where not included in EBSA’s scope. |
| Electrician | Permanent mains power, containment, field cabling and third-party interface cabling where assigned to the electrical trade, together with testing before EBSA commissioning. |
| Mechanical, fire and BMS contractors | Third-party control signals, fire-alarm and BMS interfaces, mechanical interlocks, cause-and-effect inputs and participation in integrated testing. |
Systems EBSA can deliver
EBSA works with specialist products and system packages used in commercial façade automation, window automation, natural ventilation, smoke control and architectural louvre applications.
| Product or system group | Typical role in project delivery |
|---|---|
| Chain Drives | Compact electric drives for compatible awning windows, casement windows, façade openings, roof windows or other suitable opening elements. |
| Rack and Pinion Drives | Robust electric drives for larger, heavier or more exposed openings where suitable for the project application. |
| Window Control Panels | Natural ventilation, smoke-control and project-specific control-panel solutions for automated opening systems. |
| Smoke Control Panels | RZN, CPS-B, CPS-P and CPS-M panel families for compact, higher-capacity and project-specific smoke-control systems. |
| Sensors, Switches and Accessories | Manual controls, weather inputs, room sensors, override controls and related components used within the control strategy. |
| BT90 Louvre Systems | Architectural glass louvre systems delivered to suit project-specific façade applications. |
| LF550 Louvre Systems | Louvre systems delivered to suit the project design, opening configuration and façade coordination requirements. |
| MP2 Louvre Systems | Architectural louvre systems delivered for applications requiring project-specific product selection and detailing. |
| Fixed Glass Louvres | Fixed louvre systems delivered as part of the façade design where operability is not required. |
Coordination during project delivery
Specialist façade automation and louvre packages often sit across several trade scopes. The builder, aluminium joiner, electrician, mechanical contractor, fire contractor, BMS contractor and consultant team may all need different information at different stages of the project.
EBSA can assist with coordination so that equipment selection, documentation, interfaces, installation responsibilities, programming requirements and commissioning requirements are understood before work proceeds on site.
- Product selection and suitability for the intended opening type
- Equipment schedules by area, level, façade zone or system
- Control panel design and actuator load review
- Drive groups, field devices, control inputs and interface points
- Wiring diagrams where EBSA NZ designs and supplies the control panels
- Drive programming responsibilities
- Control panel programming responsibilities
- Field cabling and rough-in responsibilities
- Field terminations and control panel terminations
- Commissioning, testing and handover expectations
- Delivery staging to suit the construction programme
- DLP maintenance or ongoing service requirements where included
Control panels, wiring and programming information
Where EBSA designs and supplies control panels, EBSA prepares the relevant wiring diagrams for the control panel and associated field wiring requirements.
These documents help define drive groups, field devices, interface points and panel termination requirements for the project.
Drive programming, control panel programming, field cabling, rough-in, field terminations and control panel terminations should be coordinated against the agreed project scope and trade responsibilities.
Smoke-control and certified panel coordination
Where automated openings or control panels form part of a smoke-control strategy, the delivery model should clearly define responsibility for fire-alarm interfaces, standby power, field cabling, control-panel installation, terminations, cause-and-effect implementation, commissioning, integrated testing and maintenance access.
EBSA supplies and supports D+H RZN, CPS-B, CPS-P and CPS-M smoke-control panel platforms. Applicable products and configurations are available with certification to EN 12101-10 and ISO 21927-9 for smoke-control power-supply and control equipment.
EBSA works with the fire, mechanical, electrical and façade teams to coordinate its supplied equipment and interfaces with the wider project design and commissioning programme.
Choosing the right delivery model
The appropriate delivery model should be selected early, before procurement and installation responsibilities become unclear. On simple projects, supply-only or supported supply may be suitable. On more complex projects, coordinated project delivery, supply and install, or a full turnkey solution may reduce interface risk.
EBSA can assist project teams by reviewing the intended system, project programme, trade split, site requirements, documentation needs, programming requirements and commissioning expectations before the delivery model is confirmed.
Consultants and design teams
EBSA can assist early during planning and design to confirm whether the intended outcome is achievable and to provide practical input on implementation and buildability.
Builders and project teams
EBSA can help clarify trade responsibilities, delivery staging, site access, installation sequence, cabling responsibilities and commissioning requirements.
