Integrated Systems · Fort Worth, TX
One building. One system.
PrimeNova integrates building automation, access, fire, and energy systems across North Texas — on open protocols, so the next contractor can service what we installed.
PrimeNova integrates building automation, access, fire, and energy systems across North Texas — on open protocols, so the next contractor can service what we installed.
HVAC from one contractor, access from another, fire from a third, and lighting from whoever was cheapest that year. None of them talk. All of them bill separately. And at least one runs on a protocol only its installer can service.
HVAC, lighting, and control integration across mixed vendors, so one interface runs the whole building.
Access control, video, and intrusion tied into the same platform rather than three separate systems.
Detection, notification, and the annual inspection programme that keeps a building compliant.
Metering, trending, and the control sequences that cut consumption without anybody noticing.
Replacing controls in an occupied building, floor by floor, without shutting anything down.
Three weeks documenting what is installed, what is orphaned, and what nobody can service.
We install on BACnet, Modbus, and open standards without exception. That means another contractor can service, extend, or replace our work, which is precisely the point and precisely what proprietary vendors avoid.
It costs us the captive service revenue that a locked-in system generates for its installer. It has also produced a nineteen-year business built almost entirely on referral from facilities managers who have been burned once already.
And we hand over the programming. Control sequences, point lists, and graphics files, documented and in your possession. If you replace us, you keep everything.
Three weeks documenting what is installed, what is orphaned, and what nobody can service.
Sequences and point lists issued for approval. Open protocol, no exceptions.
Staged floor by floor in occupied buildings. Nothing shuts down for us.
Programming, graphics, point lists, and training. All of it, in your possession.
Commercial property, healthcare, schools and districts, municipal buildings, and light industrial across Fort Worth, Arlington, and the western metroplex.
Buildings from 20,000 to 900,000 square feet, generally with a facilities team who knows the building well and has inherited four systems nobody chose together.
Many arrive holding a service quote from the only company able to touch their controls. That is the conversation we have most often.
Fort Worth. Twenty-seven years in controls, nine as a facilities director.
Eighteen years programming BACnet and Niagara across mixed-vendor plants.
TDLR licensed. Sixteen years in detection, notification, and inspection.
Fourteen years in metering, trending, and sequence optimisation.
Our previous controls vendor was the only firm legally able to touch the system. PrimeNova replaced it with something three contractors can bid on.
They cut 26% off our HVAC consumption with sequence changes. No new equipment. Nobody in the building noticed anything.
Retrofitted eleven floors while we were occupied. Not one tenant complaint the entire time.
If the answer is one company, that is worth three weeks and a fixed fee to fix.
