Intelligent buildings. Reliable power. Engineered in Tanzania.
Sync Automation designs, builds and runs the systems behind East Africa's homes, hotels, banks, hospitals and power plants, on technology we develop ourselves.
- Four divisionsIntelligent buildings, power and energy, digital infrastructure, safety and security.
- One accountable teamFrom the first drawing to daily operation, under one contract.
- Our own technologySix platforms we design, build and run in-house.
01 / 06
Power and panels
It starts with the supply. Switchboards, distribution boards, containment and backup power are sized for every device before the walls close.
- Main switchboard
- Floor boards
- Generator changeover
- UPS
02 / 06
The network backbone
Everything else depends on it, so it is designed first. Cabling, racks and Wi-Fi are laid out from the plan, with port and PoE budgets worked out before ordering.
- Cat6 and fibre
- Core rack
- Wi-Fi by room
- PoE budget
03 / 06
Climate, room by room
Chillers, air handlers and fan coils controlled per zone, so cooling runs where people are and stops where they are not.
- Chiller
- Air handler
- Fan coil units
- VRF
04 / 06
Lighting that does the routine
Scenes, sensors and schedules replace rows of switches. Corridors follow movement, offices follow daylight, gardens follow sunset.
- DALI
- KNX
- Scene keypads
- Daylight sensors
05 / 06
Security you can see on paper
Every camera is drawn with its field of view, so blind spots are found before anything is mounted. Access, intercom and alarm report to the same system.
- CCTV
- Access control
- Video intercom
- Intruder alarm
06 / 06
One screen for the whole building
A building management system brings plant, rooms and alarms onto one operator screen over BACnet, Modbus and KNX. Faults show before tenants call.
- BACnet
- Modbus
- KNX
- Trends and alarms
07 / Together
One design. One team. One number to call.
Because every layer is drawn on the same model, cable routes, power and positions are agreed before anyone starts work, and nothing is left between two contractors.

How a job runs
One team from concept to operation.
The same five stages for a villa, a hotel tower or a power plant, with one team accountable at every step.
- 01
Survey
We visit the site or start from your architect's drawings, and agree a brief room by room.
Survey notes, brief
- 02
Design
Every device, cable and port drawn on your plan in Sync Design Desk, with coverage and power worked out.
Drawings, bill of quantities
- 03
Install
Our own team runs containment and cable, mounts and terminates, in step with the builder's programme.
Programme, provisions list
- 04
Commission
Each system is programmed and tested against the drawings, then all of them are tested together.
Test results, snag list
- 05
Handover
As-built drawings, passwords and training for the people who use it, then a maintenance plan if you want one.
As-built pack, support plan
Solutions
What we engineer.
Systems that other projects split between several contractors, engineered by one company and answered for by one team.
- 01
Smart homes
Lighting, climate, gate, cameras and music on one app and a few keypads.
- 02
Commercial buildings
Offices and mixed-use: access, networks, meeting rooms and metering.
- 03
Hospitality
Guest room control, key cards, guest Wi-Fi and public areas.
- 04
BMS & HVAC controls
Chillers, air handlers and fan coils on one operator screen.
- 05
Security
CCTV, access control, intercom and alarms with drawn coverage.
- 06
Networks
Structured cabling, racks and Wi-Fi designed from the plan.
- 07
Electrical & panels
Power, distribution boards, backup supply and control panels.
- 08
Lighting control & AV
Scenes, sensors, multi-room audio, cinema and meeting rooms.
Platform
Our own technology, from the first drawing to daily operation.
Sync Design Desk turns a floor plan into a priced, buildable design. Devices go on the plan with coverage, cable runs and ports worked out, and the proposal, drawings and install pack all come from that one project.

Experience it live
Run a building from your browser.
Pick a scene, change the temperature and close the curtains in a hotel room, then trip a pump or cut the mains and handle the alarms. The live demo is a simulation that runs on your device.
