Four phases. One predictable programme.
Every project follows the same sequence. The deliverables at the end of each phase are explicit, the sign-off authority is yours, and you can attend any inspection or factory acceptance test in person. No mystery, no surprises.
1. CONSULT - Scope, requirements and business case
We map your requirements now and into the future, confirm the business case and ROI, and clarify uptime, security and operational environment expectations. Typical activities: scoping call, site walkthrough (NZ or virtual for offshore), workload profiling, environmental survey, threat and compliance review (PSPF / SCEC / EMSEC / seismic). Deliverable: a concept proposal with rough order-of-magnitude commercials and recommended build spec. You leave Consult knowing whether Edge Modular is the right answer for the problem and we're not afraid to say it isn't.
2. DESIGN - Drawings, spec, and fixed price
Detailed draft and final design of physical layout and all technical systems. Drawings are issued for your review and sign-off, with full visibility into the engineering trade-offs being made. Typical activities: single-line diagrams, mechanical drawings, structural calculations, HVAC sizing, redundancy topology, fire and security schedules, cable plan. Deliverables at the end of Design: Issue-for-construction (IFC) drawings, equipment schedule, agreed build spec, fixed-price quotation, and a build programme with named milestones.
3. BUILD - Auckland fabrication, Factory Acceptance, Deploy
Built in our Auckland facility to strict QC standards. You're welcome at progress inspections and at full factory acceptance testing (FAT) before the unit ships. Typical activities: container preparation, internal fit-out, electrical and mechanical installation, fire and security commissioning, structured cabling, FAT against the agreed spec, customer FAT witness, packing, ISO certification, freight. FAT sign-off is the trigger for shipment, not an internal target , if it doesn't pass, it doesn't ship.
4. MAINTAIN - Monitor, service, sustain, redeploy.
Proactive on-site and remote maintenance for the life of the asset. Real-time monitoring drives early intervention, not reactive callouts. Typical activities: scheduled preventative maintenance (quarterly or annual), 24/7 remote monitoring of power, thermal and security events, on-call response under SLA, consumables management (filters, batteries, fire system inspections), end-of-life refurbishment or redeployment. Maintenance is included for the first 12 months; the ongoing contract is sized to your deployed environment and SLA.
