As the construction industry evolves, property owners, architects and contractors are searching for solutions that go beyond the basics.

Direct Control aims to drive this shift by offering comprehensive solutions that include commercial heating and cooling, lighting control, energy metering and monitoring, all seamlessly integrated to centralise the data and analytics potential to maximise energy savings.

Providing an end-to-end partnership, Direct Control covers the entire building lifecycle from system design to on-site delivery and long-term maintenance. Once seen primarily as subcontractors, Direct Control has evolved into industry leaders, recognised as experts in integrated building solutions, delivering unparalleled value from the very beginning of every project.

Adding Value from the Start

Direct Control believes the key to a successful project lies in early involvement. Engaging with the team early in the process allows them to contribute valuable insights, ensuring the right systems are specified and integrated from the beginning.

“When we’re involved from day one, we can help define specifications that add significant value, which clients may not have considered,” explains Gary Brophy, Managing Director of Direct Control.

Furthermore, early collaboration ensures clarity on scope and responsibilities, reducing confusion and improving coordination between trades. This proactive approach allows projects to stay on track, making the process smoother for everyone involved.

A Holistic Approach to Building Systems 

What sets Direct Control apart is its ability to offer a complete solution of integrated services. While many companies specialise in just one system, Direct Control brings together building automation, energy management, lighting control, IoT, security, data analytics, and more. This range of services allows the team to design systems that work together, creating a more efficient and connected building.

The company’s dedicated integration team ensures all systems communicate effectively, improving overall building performance and occupant experience.

“We focus on seamless integration, ensuring all systems—from HVAC to lighting—work as one,” says Gary. This approach creates a smarter building that is not only more energy-efficient but also easier to maintain.


Strategic Partnerships with Top Providers 

Direct Control’s success is also built on its strong relationships with leading technology providers from around the world. By partnering with leading companies in each sector, they can offer the latest and most reliable solutions available. “We only partner with the best in each field to deliver the highest quality systems,” explains Gary.

These partnerships give Direct Control access to the latest technology, allowing them to deliver cutting-edge solutions for each project. With their expertise and trusted relationships, they ensure that clients receive the best possible products and services.

Direct Control is more than just a systems installer—they focus on creating an integrated ecosystem that makes building systems work together seamlessly. Whether it’s for energy management, security, or lighting control, the goal is to improve energy efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance the overall experience for building occupants, all while providing data to make informed decisions.
