Architectural Concept
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
We believe that design is a mysterious and individual activity which is beyond description; it happens but is not amenable to analysis. The idea that form arises from the functions to be performed in a building and that these can be specified is, ultimately, underpinned by the notion of determinism. Typology and functionalism stem ultimately from the sciences; from outside architecture. The assumption implicit in the theory is that a design can be created by assembling the ‘atoms of the environment’rather than by starting from a view of the whole, as in typology,for instance
Interior
"Form follows strategy."
The real subject of interior design is enclosed space—that is, the settings within buildings that house human activity. First and foremost, Kiklop is concerned with how people experience these settings by analyzing client needs, goals, and life safety requirements. Interior design is a broad-spectrum discipline that thrives in the vitality of energy, intellectual engagement, mutual respect, conflict, and collaboration that grow from contact with other environmental specializations.
MEP
KIKLOP is a full service mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection and sustainable engineering design firm KIKLOP is a strong advocate in the practice of responsible engineering that supports sustainability and living lighter on the earth. Our firm embraces the principles of green design projects where the marketplace for sustainable features has always existed.
Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Most commonly associated with building design and construction, BIM is a process that uses intelligent, digital building models to add value to the building lifecycle. working from models helps us understand our buildings and collaborate more effectively with the people who use them. The core benefit of BIM for us comes down to being able to make better, more cost-effective decisions faster.
The BIM approach:
BIM for Construction
Kiklop uses Building Design Suite to explore the best way to construct a building as it was being designed, such as most efficient and more precise way of prefabrication, that add speed and reduce waste that are essential to achieving the precise coordination that makes efficient project delivery a reality.
Kiklop uses the models to plan installation steps in real terms, which has huge impact on reducing the material waste; which can lower from 10 percent to only 1 percent. BIM can speed up and smoothen the construction progress, to help coordinate the project, reduce waste, and collaborate with the design team.
BIM model can survive the construction project and live on as a facilities management tool. It can not only be used as a more accurate and detailed as-built document, but also all the operations and maintenance documents have been layered into the project. The model will serve as a kind of owner’s manual for the new facility.
Kiklop provides professional advice and detailed recommendations on the all types of buildings, by preparing and orchestrating on site building contracts of any scale. We also prepare long term planned maintenance schemes, analyze major building defects and specify how to correct them, prepare maintenance and repair contracts and administer them on site.
Kiklop’s professionals have the combined knowledge, experience and capability to guide our clients’ projects from design to completion.
We accomplish this with project teams that are comprised of both project management and site supervision professionals and support from our in-house technical services groups: estimating, domestic and global procurement, scheduling, MEP systems, structural engineering and building enclosures. Our personnel manage all on-site aspects of the project including trades people, cost control and communication with the owner and architect. Our project teams are accessible to clients and dedicated throughout each project’s life cycle.
Under the standard construction management as agent delivery method, Kiklop acts as a third-party manager of the construction process. This delivery method utilizes an open book approach, where owners have access to all of our project documents and are made aware of aesthetic, schedule and cost trade-offs before making program and design decisions. Owners have the opportunity to be involved at each stage of the process from pre-construction and trade contractor selection through construction and closeout.
Access to Information: The construction team is overseen by a construction manager on a fee basis where the owner is given access to all of the construction manager’s project documents including trade contracts, trade costs, payrolls, etc. Under a general contracting scenario, the owner would typically have limited access to this information.
Team focus: There is increased communications and information sharing between the construction manager, owner, and design team for a collaborative approach to the construction process. The owner is made completely aware of aesthetic, schedule and cost trade-offs before making program and design decisions.
Increased Owner Control: The owner is given the opportunity to be involved at each stage of the process from pre-construction and trade contractor selection through construction and closeout.
SPECIALIZING IN INDEPENDENDANT, 3rd PARTY COMMISSIONING SERVICES
Kiklop is dedicated to working on behalf of the building owner by delivering a facility with systems that perform as specified, intended and paid for. We have the required expertise through engineers and certified technicians to provide commissioning services in accordance with industry standards, guidelines and building codes. Large or small, our clients continue to be globally positioned and we personally support each one to achieve the most innovative and effective solutions.
1. WBCx(Whole Building Commissioning)
The term “Whole Building Commissioning” (WBCx) describes an expanded scope of commissioning services which includes architectural, structural, mechanical, process, electrical systems, fixtures andequipment. Essentially, the WBCx scope covers validation for “anything the Owner wants” for his project. KIKLOP engineers and specialists provide following services sticking to the BS and US standards considering the design intent and client functional requirements. We are committed to providing the highest services directly to owners to ensure that they receive properly commissioned and energy efficien environmental/HVAC systems.
Commissioning Verification;The verification role is vital for design and builds projects where it is necessary for Clients to have a 3rd Party specialist involved throughout the commissioning & handover of systems/projects to ensure conformity with local and international standards.
2. Retro-Cx
Retro-commissioning (RCx) involves applying the commissioning process to a building that has never been commissioned. Retro-commissioning is sometimes referred to as “Existing Building Commissioning”. RCx uses the commissioning process to compare the building’s original design parameters and operational criteria with current design and operational requirements. RCx then determines whether the building is capable of meeting the current design and operational criteria as a minimum.
RCx then identifies the required system modifications necessitated by the building’s mission changes in order to meet its current operational and tenant needs. RCx should then identify upgrades to the building that will enhance its energy efficiency, tenant comfort and productivity, and indoor air quality. These upgrades often incorporate state-of-the-art equipment and systems needed to improve theefficiency and operational effectiveness of the building. RCx often enhances property value.
The benefits of RCx often include lower operation and maintenance costs, lower utility costs, reduced repairs and system downtime, increase occupant comfort, increased productivity, improved indoor air quality, and enhanced skill of operations and maintenance staff.
3. TAB(Testing, Adjusting and Balancing)
All testing and commissioning services are provided in accordance with CIBSE, ASHRAE and ANSI Commissioning Codes as applicable, as well as BSRIA, CSA, NEBB and AABC Guidelines and relevant Standards.
4. O&M, Project Close out
The Operation and Maintenance Manuals as a part of the project files are designed to be a comprehensive information source that guides the employer and end users in the understanding of the building. The manual should define the building construction and its systems, along with the processes and procedures required for it to be operated and maintained efficiently and safely.
O&M Manual planning is one component of a much broader knowledge transfer process. Transferring knowledge is necessary to facilitate the transition of the project’s product from the project stage into continuing operations.
KIKLOP’s O&M Manual contains information and strategies designed to guide operational stakeholders in the normal use and maintenance of the project’s product. The manual is designed in a manner that facilitates actions and responses to anything that may arise during normal product operations and maintenance. The actual type(s) of manual(s) created, the information they contain, and the defined stakeholder response(s) are derived from information inputs from areas such as:
Project Team – O&M Manuals help transfer knowledge, lessons learned from the development and testing of the product, from the project team to the operations team
Operations Support Environment – O&M Manuals document operational processes, tasks, and responsibilities associated with ongoing operations and maintenance in the production environment
Operations Activities – O&M Manuals save time and expense by reducing the mishandling of standard operational activities through the use of concise, documented, step-by-step instructions
Operations Training – O&M Manuals can be used as training tools; empowering stakeholders to make decisions regarding basic system operations and maintenance that otherwise might be mishandled
Mass timber is a method of construction that capitalizes on new wood technology and manufacturing advances. Solid wood panels, posts or beams, called cross-laminated timber (CLT), nail laminated timber (NLT) and glue laminated timber (glulam) members are brought together, in some cases alone, or with hybrid elements such as concrete or steel, to create flooring and wall systems that rival traditional concrete and steel systems.
We are specialists in solid timber.
We design, engineer, procure and assembly more Mass Engineer Timber building structures
Our role within a mass timber building project is that of a ‘specialist’ – a ‘specialist designer’ or ‘specialist contractor’ depending on when and how we are engaged on a project. At your request, we get involved in entire process of design, project planning, detailed engineering, workshop design, production and construction, or we simply assume design&engineering or production, delivery and assembly.

Facilities management is a critical, strategic business discipline. Organisations increasingly occupy complex buildings and use sophisticated technology for communications and control. KIKLOP Professional FM is needed to plan, maintain and manage these facilities. It is part of the drive to meet the higher demands of organisations and individuals. Whether as employees, customers, students or patients, people have higher expectations of their living, working and leisure environments.
We can deliver flexibility, adaptability and sustainability. KIKLOP Facility Managers can help organisations respond to cost pressures or the need for greater security. Beyond buildings, it can enable remote working. Today facilities managers today are expected to understand their company’s core business and contribute to the bottom line—not only by reducing operating costs, but also by improving the productivity, revenue generating capacity and image of the entire organization.
KIKLOP engage best practices in sustainability whenever possible to ensure operations are energy efficient, environmentally sound and promote the wellbeing of occupants. We also help preserve natural resources, work to limit organisational footprints and prefer doing business with other similarly responsible organisations. At its best it is a real differentiator and in the commercial sphere can provide a competitive advantage.
Structural Fire Protection
It is important in fire safety considerations regarding the building structure to minimize the likelihood of collapse of the structural frame during a fire and to ensure that fire barriers remain intact to prevent ignition and fire spread to adjoining spaces.
In general, we provide the following approaches to structural frame and barrier design for fire resistance:
· Analysis of Fire Endurance Requirements for Construction Assemblies
· Evaluating Fire Resistance of Structural Elements
· Predicting response of structural components to fire exposures
· Applying related building code requirements for fire resistance
· Protection of Openings
Fire Protection and Fire Suppression Systems Design
Fire Protection and Suppression systems are designed to confine and prevent the spread of fire and eventually extinguish the fire.
In general we provide the following systems design:
· Water-Based Fire Protection Systems Design
Ø Wet, dry, pre-action, deluge and water-mist sprinkler systems design
Ø Hydraulic Calculation for water-based fire protection systems
· Foam, Halon and Clean Agent, Carbon Dioxide Systems Design
Smoke Management
Smoke management throughout a building is provided by means of active and passive smoke control. Active smoke management generally involves use of ventilation systems to control the spread of smoke. Passive smoke management generally involves the use of smoke barriers to provide compartmentation to minimize spread of smoke.
In general we provide the following design and analysis concepts for smoke management:
· Air and smoke movement analysis
· Compartmentation, exhaust, pressurization design & analysis.
· Performance characteristics of alerting devices and smoke exhaust systems
· Smoke management in large spaces (mechanical & natural venting)
Life & Fire Safety Analysis and Design
Life safety analysis is performed to ensure that the construction, protection, and occupancy features are provided to minimize the danger to life from the effects of fire.
It is important to assess the risks and potential exposures to an emergency event, fire, or hazardous material incident that could put people and property at risk.
We generally provide the following approaches to determine the necessary precautions are in place:
· Prescriptive & Performance-Based Design and Analysis
· ASET / RSET Analysis
· Evacuation modeling considering
Ø Human behavior in case of fire
Ø People movement and wayfinding
