Smart Building & Automation in Surrey

The Surrey context

One of BC's fastest-growing cities, with industrial parks, commercial corridors and large residential developments requiring scalable multi-site coverage.

Port logistics, forestry, technology campuses, hospitality and dense multi-residential towers shape most BC security programs.

Coastal humidity, heavy rainfall and salt air make weather-sealed housings, corrosion-resistant hardware and drainage-aware mounting essential.

Smart building projects fail when security and automation are bolted together by different vendors. Fortega designs the whole stack with the network, identity and monitoring layer in mind — so the IoT devices you deploy don't become the breach you didn't see coming.

Included on Surrey projects

Capabilities available to Surrey sites

Building automation integration

BMS and BAS connectors that share data with access, video and monitoring.

Smart lighting

Scheduled, occupancy-driven and emergency lighting tied to security events.

Energy & environmental control

Temperature, humidity, leak and energy monitoring with alerting.

Secure IoT integration

Segmented networks, certificate-based device identity and device lifecycle management.

Tenant experience workflows

Visitor invites, lift booking and amenity access on the same platform as security.

Lifecycle support

Patch, monitor and replace devices on a defined cadence — not an emergency basis.

Compliance

Licensing and privacy in British Columbia

British Columbia licenses security consultants, guards and alarm installers under the Security Services Act, and Fortega works within those licence classes on BC projects.

BC has its own Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), so surveillance notice, access requests and retention rules are governed provincially rather than by PIPEDA.

  • Lower operating cost — lighting, HVAC and energy tuned to actual occupancy.
  • Fewer breach vectors — IoT designed with the same rigor as the security network.
  • Better tenant experience without sacrificing security posture.
  • One accountable partner for the whole stack.
