In the 20-plus years since we first started out, South Florida Controls has become South Florida's premier systems integrator. In that time, we’ve completed hundreds of installations for healthcare, education, retail, banking, hospitality, military, and commercial office facilities throughout the tri-county area. We’ve delivered innovative solutions to help diverse organizations throughout South Florida integrate and manage their mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems as well as their HVAC, lighting, and security or surveillance systems.  

Our mission is to be the most-trusted integrator for building systems and network and communication technologies, helping clients improve their building’s efficiency by better managing its equipment and optimizing costs. 

What is a Systems Integrator? 

Integrated networking infrastructures bring greater value than individually designed ones. A systems integrator creates harmony between different controller brands, protocols, and systems to remove the need for multiple service vendors.  

By eliminating separate “islands” or processes that aren't equipped to coordinate with one another, a systems integrator like SFC works to create totally integrated automation environments that ensure greater reliability, higher quality, and total production visibility. We “speak” the correct protocols, including N2, P1/P2, Modbus, BACnet, and Comm3 and Comm4, to provide customers with the monitoring and control they require. 

We’ve successfully integrated systems and manufacturers from leading brands like: 

  • Siemens 

  • Honeywell 

  • JCI 

  • Distech 

  • Trane 

  • Reliable 

  • ALC  

What Sets SFC Apart 

Integrated networking infrastructures bring greater value than individually designed ones. By eliminating separate, redundant features such as occupancy sensors, communication protocols, and visualization software, an integrated system minimizes the number of devices needed to accomplish similar goals while reducing low-value inefficiencies and waste. 

SFC has extensive competencies in emerging technologies, making us an integration partner companies can rely on. From concept to completion, these are the traits we believe differentiate us from other providers. 

  • We’re a dedicated team of experts. Building automation systems are complicated. We have tried and true experience and expertise with whatever systems you’re looking to integrate. 

  • We commit to long-term relationships, not one-and-done jobs. Building system integration projects have a lot of moving parts, and even projects with highly detailed scopes have issues that come up during the process. We’re there for our clients until the project is successfully completed. 

  • We believe open and honest feedback offers a clear path to success. We don’t hesitate to share news that might be difficult to hear if it means guaranteeing your system’s optimal operation. We understand budgetary restraints and work with our clients to balance where they can afford to cut costs and where they might need to make a bigger investment.  

  • We keep pace with changing technology. Building systems may not evolve as rapidly as consumer technologies, but they are being disrupted like never before. SFC works with our clients to find solutions that aren’t outdated in a few short years. That means anticipating future issues, not merely solving existing ones. 

  • We have a record of success and are equipped to tackle a wide range of system integration projects. 

A Partner You Can Trust 

SFC offers much more than systems integration. We provide technology solutions that monitor and control your building systems and participate in critical discussions about everything from building automation to smoke control and IT. We also advise and assist design teams on construction project components such as value engineering, change order reduction, project cost savings, infrastructure consolidation, scope gaps, and more. 

At SFC, we know being competitive today requires a highly integrated environment where impractical and inefficient processes make it impossible for systems to coordinate and share information and technologies to ensure seamless building operation. Along with our other solutions such as cloud engineering, pull planning, and prefabrication, our system integration services are designed to help building owners, building managers, and construction managers better integrate and improve their automation processes while maximizing return on investment.
