NEW CONSTRUCTION

The access control decision your architect should have flagged on day one.

Specifying the right access platform before the first conduit is pulled saves six figures in retrofit costs and delivers a community that works from move-in day — not six months after.

PROBLEM / SOLUTION

Wrong spec. Wrong wiring. Wrong system — discovered at certificate of occupancy.

01

Most access control decisions happen too late in the project

Developers finalize the access system after framing, after electrical, sometimes after finishes. The result: compromised hardware placement, emergency conduit runs, and a system that was never designed for the building — it was shoehorned into it. Vivo enters at planning stage, before the first conduit is pulled.

02

Residents move in expecting an experience the building wasn’t designed to deliver

Modern buyers research the building’s technology before signing. They expect mobile entry, app-based guest access, and amenity reservations from day one. A legacy intercom specified in year one delivers disappointment in year three. Vivo is specified once and delivers the resident experience the market expects — today and in ten years.

03

Retrofit costs what proper specification would have prevented

Running new conduit after construction is complete costs 4–8x more than planning for it upfront. Vivo’s specification team works directly with your architect and electrical contractor to ensure every access point is positioned, wired, and documented correctly — before ground breaks.

FEATURES

Specified once. Delivered at move-in. Built to last a decade.

Pre-Construction Access Planning

Vivo’s specification team reviews your plans and provides conduit routing, hardware placement, and infrastructure documentation — ready for your electrical contractor and architect.

Mobile-First From Day One

Residents receive app credentials before move-in day. No fob distribution event. No keycard programming. Community access active the day the first resident arrives.

Scalable Platform Architecture

Vivo grows with the building. Add towers, amenity phases, and EV infrastructure as the development expands — same platform, same dashboard, no rearchitecting.

Amenity Infrastructure Ready

Pool, gym, rooftop, co-working, EV chargers — every amenity access point specified and installed before residents arrive. No retrofitting. No phase-two scramble.

Developer & HOA Handoff Package

Complete access documentation, credential management, and platform training delivered at handoff. Your HOA or property management company inherits a fully operational system — not a stack of manuals.

10-Year Hardware Commitment

Vivo hardware is designed for a decade of operation — modular, updateable over the air, and compatible with future platform features. No hardware replacement cycle at year five.

SPECIFICATION PROCESS

How Vivo enters a new construction project.

PRE-PERMIT

Design Review

Share your architectural plans. Vivo’s specification team reviews entry points, elevator shafts, amenity layouts, and parking levels. Conduit routing and hardware placement documented for your contractor.

PRE-MEP

Specification Package

Complete spec package provided — hardware models, conduit specifications, power requirements, and network infrastructure notes. Ready to hand to your MEP engineer.

IN-BUILD

Construction Support

Vivo’s team is available throughout construction for field questions, placement adjustments, and pre-installation inspections. No surprises at rough-in.

PRE-CO

Pre-CO Commissioning

Hardware commissioned and platform configured before certificate of occupancy. Resident credentials ready to distribute at move-in. System fully tested before the first resident arrives.

MOVE-IN

Developer Handoff

Complete documentation, HOA training, and property management onboarding delivered at project handoff. Your team inherits a running system — not a setup project.
