Implementing and managing facility access can be challenging, particularly when integrating Division 8 (doors, frames, and hardware) with Division 28 (electronic security)—two aspects of construction that are traditionally handled separately. This historical separation can often lead to incompatible systems and project delays.
Now imagine an approach that streamlines this process by using a single provider to handle both door and security needs, increasing efficiency, improving vendor management, and enhancing system functionality.
As a division of the Cook & Boardman Group, 3Sixty Integrated offers this with our comprehensive Total Opening Solutions. We cover everything from door and frame installation to the implementation of access control and intrusion detection systems, seamlessly integrating mechanical door hardware with cutting-edge electronic security systems.
What Does Total Opening Solutions Mean?
The term Total Opening Solutions represents our comprehensive approach to managing all aspects of door and security system needs through serving as a single, unified provider. This method ensures that every element of your facility’s entry points works together seamlessly.
By covering every stage of the project, from design to deployment and ongoing support, 3Sixty Integrated streamlines the process, minimizes disruption, and maximizes security.
A Unified Approach to Project Lifecycle Management
Managing facility access throughout a project’s lifecycle involves addressing unique challenges at each phase:
- Construction: Ensuring proper installation of doors, frames, and hardware to support future security systems.
- Project Progression: Integrating advanced electronic measures such as access control, intrusion detection, and surveillance.
- Post-Occupancy: Providing ongoing maintenance and updates to adapt to evolving security needs.
These phases often involve specialized teams for each element of the opening solution. Coordinating these diverse teams can be challenging due to their varying priorities and technical requirements. The Total Opening Solution framework offers a unified approach that addresses these challenges effectively.
Why Choose a Total Opening Solution?
Opting for a single provider to manage all aspects of your door and security needs simplifies the coordination process, making it easier to meet deadlines and stay within budget.
In fact, a McKinsey report highlights that poor vendor management can increase construction costs by up to 20%. With a single provider, you streamline communication, reduce administrative burdens, and ensure a more organized project flow.
The lack of a unified approach can also lead to:
- Miscommunication: The door team installs a lock that is incompatible with the chosen access control system, causing delays and costly rework.
- Conflicting Timelines: The communications team falls behind schedule, delaying the installation of the security cameras and pushing back the project’s completion date.
- Fragmented Maintenance: Multiple vendors can result in fragmented maintenance schedules, making it difficult to ensure all systems are updated and functioning optimally.
Our Total Opening Solution addresses and eliminates these issues, providing a cohesive and efficient approach to project management.
