How We Work
Our methodology for transforming infrastructure at every stage of its lifecycle.
Engineering, sustainability and education: inseparable
At Innotica, we are the only firm in the region that integrates infrastructure automation, sustainability consulting and technical training in a single team. This is no coincidence: we believe these three disciplines are complementary and inseparable for transforming the construction industry.
We work with open protocols, a design-first approach and a vision where automation and sustainability empower each other. Every project goes through 12 structured stages — whether traditional or sustainable construction — ensuring quality, efficiency and measurable results.
While others separate these services into silos, we unify them from stage one. The result: smarter infrastructure, better-achieved certifications and teams better prepared to operate them.
Three pillars, one integrated method
What sets us apart is that these three capabilities work together from day one of every project.
Automation
Monitoring, control and digitalization of systems with open protocols — BACnet, Modbus, MQTT — for infrastructure that makes real-time decisions.
View automation services →Sustainability
Environmental certification consulting (LEED, EDGE, WELL) integrated with engineering, not as an afterthought but as part of the design.
View sustainability services →Training
Technical capability development so operations and maintenance teams get the most out of the solutions implemented.
View training services →Lifecycle: Traditional vs. Sustainable
Compare the 12 stages of both methodologies, grouped into four phases.
Traditional Construction
Skills development
Development of technical capabilities in professionals and students related to the design, construction and operation of infrastructure.
Sustainable Construction
Skills development
Development of technical capabilities in professionals and students related to the design, construction and operation of infrastructure.
Traditional Construction
Advisory and diagnosis
Evaluation of the project status and based on the analysis of documentation and/or construction, a series of possible strategies are provided to incorporate automation, sustainability and digitalization into the project.
Sustainable Construction
Diagnosis and advisory
Diagnosis preparation to define certification system and technical-economic feasibility of the sustainability project.
Traditional Construction
Conceptualization
Respecting the foundations of engineering, the conceptualization of solutions and strategies for monitoring, control, automation, sustainability and digitalization of project systems is developed.
Sustainable Construction
Preliminary project
Certification strategy development and definition of requirements for each specialty and roadmap.
Traditional Construction
Basic design
Design development that will define the basic needs for building conduits, locating instrumentation and requesting quotes for the following project stages.
Sustainable Construction
Project registration
Includes registration in the certification system and possible pre-certification to support project commercialization.
Traditional Construction
Detailed engineering
Preparation of detailed documentation required for the installation of instrumentation, controllers, panels, and other elements necessary in the digitalization, monitoring and sustainability process.
Sustainable Construction
Design support
A service that provides early support and guidance to the owner and project team to take actions and decisions aligned with defined strategies and optimize costs.
Traditional Construction
Construction
Construction and installation of conduits and cable trays, necessary elements for the future installation of wiring, instrumentation, panels and controllers required for implementing automation, sustainability and digitalization systems.
Sustainable Construction
Design analysis and upload
Process in which "as designed" documentation from the various designers is evaluated and uploaded to the certification system's online application for auditing, while accompanying the construction process.
Traditional Construction
Installation
Installation of wiring, instrumentation, panels, controllers and other elements necessary for commissioning the defined automation and sustainability solutions.
Sustainable Construction
Construction and installation support
Service stage where the construction team, suppliers and commissioning are accompanied, verifying that what was defined in the design phase is implemented.
Traditional Construction
Programming and commissioning
Hardware programming and instrumentation configuration required for monitoring and control of defined systems, along with custom software development tailored to the needs of the project's systems and spaces.
Sustainable Construction
Construction analysis and upload
Process in which "as built" documentation from the various designers is evaluated and uploaded to the online application for auditing to obtain certification.
Traditional Construction
Production handover
Creation of documentation and training development so that operations and maintenance staff can use the systems and solutions developed for the project.
Sustainable Construction
Commissioning support
Service stage where support is provided to verify that the owner receives what was actually acquired from their suppliers.
Traditional Construction
Operations and Maintenance
An operations, maintenance and support service is proposed, a methodology called virtual concierge, a service that performs daily review of systems and solutions to achieve maximum operational efficiency.
Sustainable Construction
O&M handover support
Phase in which work is done alongside the commissioning group to ensure the owner receives the operation manuals and information required to achieve operational continuity.
Traditional Construction
Performance optimization
During infrastructure operations and under the virtual concierge service, a verification and update methodology (Continuous Commissioning) of system configuration parameters is implemented to achieve resource consumption optimization.
Sustainable Construction
Operations verification
Service that supports the enhanced commissioning process and evaluates performance to optimize infrastructure operations.
Traditional Construction
Implementation in existing infrastructure
The added value generated at each stage of a project in the design process can be included in existing infrastructure, regardless of the equipment and systems in place. An evaluation and diagnosis is carried out to outline the next proposed stages.
Sustainable Construction
Sustainable performance evaluation
Analysis and monitoring of information generated by infrastructure operations, in terms of energy consumption, water, waste generation, transportation and occupant well-being.
Traditional Construction
Skills development
Development of technical capabilities in professionals and students related to the design, construction and operation of infrastructure.
