Security work in Melbourne CBD
Almost nothing about a CBD install is decided by the equipment. It is decided by the building: what the landlord permits above the ceiling, when the dock is available, whether the base building access system will talk to yours, and how much of the work has to happen after six.
We work across CBD office tenancies, ground-floor retail and residential towers. That means inductions and certificates of currency sorted before the day, cabling routes agreed with building management, and a program that assumes the lift is shared with everyone else in the building.

Answers
Melbourne CBD security questions
Straight answers to the questions we get asked most. If yours isn't here, call us on 0433 633 777 — you'll speak to a technician, not a call centre.
Can you work in a CBD building with strict access rules?
That is most of them, and yes. Inductions, certificates of currency, works permits and after-hours dock bookings are handled before we arrive. Tell us the building manager's details when you enquire and we deal with them directly.
Do you install after hours in the CBD?
Routinely. Ceiling access, core drilling and anything noisy is done outside business hours in a shared building, and it is quoted that way from the start rather than appearing as a variation later.
Can our access control talk to the base building system?
Often, though it depends on the base building platform and the landlord's willingness. Lift destination control and tenancy floor access are common requests. We scope this early because it is the item most likely to need approval and lead time.
What does a CBD office security system cost?
A single-floor tenancy with a monitored alarm, four to six discreet cameras and card access on the main and comms room doors typically runs $6,000 to $12,000 installed. Multi-floor tenancies scale from there and are quoted door by door.
Do you do apartment buildings in the CBD?
Yes — video intercom, lift and garage control and common-area CCTV across residential towers. See apartment complex security for how we stage work in an occupied building.
How far into the CBD do you come for a fault?
All of it, plus Southbank, Docklands and the immediate fringe. Contracted maintenance clients get priority attendance; parking and dock access in the CBD mean we plan the visit rather than just turning up.
Can you take over a system from another installer?
Yes. We service Inner Range, Bosch, Tecom, Hills, Hanwha Wisenet, Hikvision, Dahua, Aiphone and Comelit, and CBD takeovers are common when a tenancy changes hands and nobody has the admin credentials.
Do you handle the data cabling as well?
Yes — Cat6 and fibre, racks, switching and full documentation. In a CBD fitout doing both together is materially cheaper than two trades working around each other.
