Delivery detail

Technical depth without unnecessary complexity.

Each service is organised around its actual constraints, review path and deliverables.

Solar PV & estimation

Design and commercial clarity

Layouts, calculations, schedules, take-offs and assumption-led estimates.

Thermal & BESS

Integrated energy systems

Collector, storage, critical-load, equipment and interface decisions.

Revit & BIM

Efficient product content

Useful geometry, parameters and connectors without unnecessary complexity.

Tools & AI

Purpose-built digital systems

Calculators, documentation and controlled AI workflows for real needs.

A distinct Solarist service

Skilled people should not spend their day moving information between systems.

Solarist identifies repetitive document, data, reporting and knowledge tasks, then deploys practical AI workflows around existing tools without replacing accountable human decisions.

Discuss a repetitive process

Find the cost of repetition

Map people, documents, systems, delays and approvals.

02 / Design

Define the controlled workflow

Specify inputs, rules, AI tasks, validation and exceptions.

03 / Deploy

Connect the tools already in use

Implement document, knowledge, reporting or task workflows.

04 / Measure

Track time, errors and review quality

Measure reduced effort while preserving auditability.

Working process

A methodical path from requirement to release.
