Human Centred Design & Connectivity
What does it take to deliver seamless communication systems? It’s more than just tech specs — it’s about understanding how people use a space and designing systems that allow easy connectivity.
As part of Northrop’s Integrated Buildings group, our team offers clients a fresh mix of experience, creativity and technical depth to every project. We work closely with builders, architects, government clients and commercial developers.
From integrated AV systems in public spaces to communications infrastructure in complex commercial builds, we’re involved from early concept through to construction support. Our projects range from education and civic upgrades to modern workplaces and health environments.
What makes us different? It’s the way we work – a blend of senior specialists and up-and-coming engineers who collaborate daily and aren’t afraid to challenge ideas and the status quo. We share knowledge and bring energy to every design.
Clients tell us they value our practical thinking, responsiveness, and ability to translate technical complexity into clear, user-focused human outcomes. We speak their language – and that makes all the difference.
There’s something incredibly rewarding about seeing the finished product where communications and all building services come together seamlessly. It’s a reflection of thoughtful design, collaboration, and technical excellence.Kieran SteeleNational Electrical Section Manager, Northrop
As part of our broader electrical team, our design is fully integrated — ensuring communication systems are planned in sync with the systems that make buildings tick.
We design structured cabling networks using copper and fibre that are scalable, efficient, and ready for change when it comes.
We understand the conflicting requirements of space planning and the ICT teams that manage buildings for decades after handover, working to integrate necessary equipment into the function of the space.
We integrate access control, CCTV, and intercom systems from the outset, ensuring fewer site issues and clearer contractor direction.
We deliver nbn designs in concurrent development with the structured cabling and ensure end to end solutions are considered from early planning phases – to make the delivery end succinct.
