Sync Design Desk

Our design platform for smart building, electrical, network, panel and controls jobs. Start from a client's floor plan, finish with a proposal, scaled drawings and an install pack, all from one project.

Outputs

What a finished design gives you.

Three documents that never disagree, because they come from the same model.

  • 01

    The client proposal

    A clear design and bill of quantities that helps win the job. Prices are entered only in the BOQ, so the design itself stays price-free.

  • 02

    The drawings

    Scaled sheets with title block, legend, device positions dimensioned to walls, and cable and port schedules.

  • 03

    The execution plan

    What installers need on site: provisions before installation, accessories, cable runs, device schedule and labour.

Modules

One platform, one login.

Beta modules are open to use while we finish them.

Built by installers

We use it on our own jobs every day.

That decides what goes in.

Vendor neutral

Devices are generic types. The make and model are chosen per project.

One source of truth

Plan, BOQ, schedules, drawings and checks are views of one project, so a change shows everywhere.

Installer detail

Provisions, accessories, port and PoE budgets, cable lengths and setting-out dimensions are part of the design.

CAD drawing aids

Grid, snap, ortho and object snap, typed lengths, layers with lock, and command search with Ctrl+K.

Design checks

Coverage, port and power checks are listed for review before a design goes to the client.

For other installers too

Integrators can register and design their own jobs. Paid plans will follow.
