Intelligent buildings,
engineered with intent.
Meko is an independent building automation consultancy for Africa and the Middle East. We advise owners, developers and integrators on controls strategy, design the systems on paper, and provide expert oversight — uniting deep IT expertise with the physical infrastructure of modern buildings. We don't install or operate; we make sure what gets built is right.
Independent
counsel, from
brief to handover.
We are an advisory firm, not a contractor. We don't sell hardware, install systems or hold maintenance contracts — which means our only stake is your outcome. We guide the strategy, author the design, and hold the delivered work to account on your behalf.
Advise
Controls strategy, technology selection and the digital roadmap. We help you decide what to build and why, before any money is committed.
Design
Vendor-neutral system design — architecture, points lists, sequences of operation and network topology — precise enough for any integrator to build from.
Assure
Independent oversight of the parties who install and run the system: design review, tender support, commissioning witness and performance audit.
What we
do.
Every engagement is advisory. We work as a retained technical advisor or on a scoped, deliverable-based brief — producing strategy, design and assurance, never installation or maintenance. The hands stay yours and your contractor's; the expertise is ours.
Automation Strategy & Advisory
Independent guidance on controls strategy, technology selection and digital roadmaps for new builds and retrofits.
BMS Design & Specification
Tender-ready system design — points lists, sequences of operation, network and controller architecture — for your contractor to build.
Integration Advisory
Defining how HVAC, lighting, metering, access and IT come together as one protocol-agnostic platform, and overseeing those who connect it.
Energy & Performance Advisory
Independent analysis of consumption, fault detection and tuning recommendations to cut energy and improve occupant comfort.
OT / IT Cyber-Physical Security
Advising on the convergence of operational and information technology — segmentation strategy, hardening standards and audit.
Lifecycle & Assurance Advisory
Commissioning oversight, performance audits and lifecycle guidance that keep systems true to design — independent of whoever maintains them.
Where IT engineering
meets the built
environment.
Our edge is fluency on both sides of the divide. We speak the language of controls engineers and the language of enterprise IT — and we translate between them so the right system gets specified.
Two layers,
one system.
The designs we author are built on a deliberate pairing: Milesight at the sensing edge, Tridium Niagara at the integration headend. Best-in-class hardware and a truly open software platform — specified for longevity and freedom from lock-in, then built by your chosen integrator. Explore the stack →
Milesight
LoRaWAN sensors, IoT gateways and controllers that capture the building's reality — air quality, occupancy, energy, leaks — with long range, ultra-low power and end-to-end encryption. Wireless deployment reaches spaces where cabling never made economic sense.
Tridium Niagara
The open, vendor-neutral framework that normalises data from nearly any device or protocol into one model — the control engine and supervisory layer where the building is integrated, visualised and operated as a whole.
Built for
the region.
We understand the realities of automation across the African continent and the Middle East — climate, grid, supply chain and regulation. We design and advise for the conditions a system will actually live in, wherever your contractor is building it.
Africa.
Resilient, energy-conscious designs specified for variable grid conditions and demanding climates across the continent.
Middle East.
High-performance specifications for cooling-intensive, large-scale developments where efficiency and reliability are paramount.
Remote Advisory.
Document review, remote design workshops and commissioning oversight that extend our counsel to sites far from our base.
Local Partnership.
We advise alongside your regional contractors and integrators, transferring knowledge rather than creating dependency.
Let's design the
building's intelligence.
