Introducing the Fourth Utility: Technology

The construction world of today is not the same as the one from twenty, ten or even five years ago; and nothing illustrates this fact more than the world of information and communication technology.

Technologically advanced systems – from controls that regulate indoor climates to networks that can transmit vital patient information – are fast becoming the new reality. It used to be that building structures were converted to new technologies. Now, the technology is integrated into the design of the structure itself. Installing networks during construction is becoming the norm. Everything is becoming IP enabled – and if a building’s structure is its body, then IP is its nervous system.

All of this represents the latest construction frontier for EllisDon – we're making buildings smarter.

EllisDon's ICT group is innovating at an accelerated rate. We're packing buildings like hotels and commercial office towers with fiber optics and complex intelligent devices. We're consulting with hospitals and laboratories to help technologies converge. EllisDon's state-of-the-art PBMT terminals at William Osler Health Centre in Brampton and Etobicoke provide patients with full access to television, internet, radio and video-on-demand.

Bring our team into your project during the construction or the post-construction phase. Whether you need a dedicated project manager to schedule, manage and purchase all ICT requirements; or to come in after the project is complete to manage the ICT infrastructure and keep your network reliable, you can count on us.

Surprised to see these sorts of innovations coming from a construction company? Don't be – as far as we're concerned, this is the future world of construction – a world that is smarter, more customized, more accessible, and filled with possibilities limited only by imagination.

When it comes right down to it, can you really afford not to give us a call?
