Security System Consulting for Architects And Engineers
Building Design Can Never Afford To Neglect Security

BPS regularly works with engineers and architects to ensure the security industry’s best practices are in place to protect your building and all the assets it covers
Let our security professionals deliver the training materials all your stakeholder groups can access – and implement. BPS can help with your key security training efforts, including:
- Security system design, integration and installation
- Security threat, risk and vulnerability assessments done at the programming phase of the work
- Document and specification review
Expert Building Security Consultants
No one can afford to have security concerns emerge in the middle of a project. Implementing security is more complex today than your typical mechanical/electrical/plumbing-type service can handle alone. A lack of planning can disrupt the work of other related trades (e.g., electrical, door hardware, network) in later phases of design.
Engaging a security consultant will ensure that both the architect and the owner will be afforded a full array of security solutions. Our professional physical security consultants can:
- Identify risks early in the programming phase of work
- Set requirements which can take the guesswork out of security early in the project
- Ensure consistent coordination throughout a project
Building Security Design
BPS can add strategic security resources to your design project. By including our security risk assessment in your job, you can clarify acceptable levels of risk, review cost-effective security measures, and identify any trade-offs your security choices will have on the design, construction, and use of the building.
We pay close attention to crime prevention through environmental design, or CPTED, to reduce vulnerabilities. Our experts know how to impact people’s behavior with key concepts like:
- Access control
- Natural and technical surveillance
- Physical design
As with all our security practices, BPS stays up-to-date on CPTED best practices.
Security System Implementation Coordination
Let us manage the security side of vendor selection and oversight. Our construction administration services include specification review, commissioning, and close-out. We can make sure your security needs are met with a variety of vendors, including:
- Landscaping
- Lighting
- Door Hardware
- Electricians
- Networking
We can help you avoid unnecessary mis-steps and get more out of your contractors.
Steven’s competency and partnership has been amazing. He’s provided both a technical expertise and real-world perspective that is invaluable.
Joshua A., AffinivaxI was very pleased with how BPS developed a “turn-key” process for Abbott to comply with the IA rule. What I mean is BPS developed a regulatory compliant methodology to conduct the VA’s; apply the VA’s to the FDP’s and; provide the subject matter expertise to carry out the VA’s and develop the plans themselves. In addition, BPS remained and continues to remain a partner that Abbott can reach out to for advice, guidance and additional project support when needed. The partnership developed between BPS and Abbott has been good for our business.
Robert A, Abbott NutritionWe truly value the role BPS plays in our access control master plan and we continue to have them consulting for us on cutting edge physical security improvements such as the current project underway to supplement the turnstile project with enhanced weapons screening.
Mark Manthei, Security Systems Administrator Froedtert HospitalBPS has helped to build the necessary competencies in the pipeline terminal personnel who are not security professionals, yet still need to be key players in our day-to-day security program. BPS developed effective training programs that we could deploy across our national learning management system for cost effective delivery. Your team has helped us to stand up a sustainable security program that continuously improves year after year based upon the way it has been built and the training you have provided for our organization.
