Brisbane, Australia · Since 2010
We design and run the software that sits between buildings and the people who operate them: automation integrations, facilities-management platforms, and the cloud and data systems behind them.
Three disciplines, usually combined on the same engagement.
Niagara 4 modules and station tooling, BACnet and Modbus edge services, secure remote access to on-site controllers, and AI assistants that let operators query live plant in plain language.
Multi-tenant, white-label web platforms for FM providers and their clients: work orders, compliance reporting, asset registers and portals, built to run for years rather than quarters.
APIs, data pipelines and document extraction with large language models, deployed on Vercel, AWS and Azure with CI/CD, observability and signed releases.
Client names are withheld under our engagement terms. Scope and stack are as delivered.
Facilities management · 2018 to present
A white-label facilities-management platform serving an FM provider and its enterprise clients. ASP.NET Core on Azure with a private network to on-premise data, scheduled reporting, document generation and a tenant-isolated data model. Continuously developed and operated for more than eight years.
Building automation · SaaS
A multi-tenant platform for a building-automation integrator covering the full project lifecycle, with role-based access, equipment schedules extracted automatically from HVAC shop drawings using large language models, and a companion Niagara 4 toolset exposing live station data through a secure tunnel and a conversational interface.
Building automation · Edge
Python microservices deployed to site gateways, polling BACnet devices directly, buffering through outages, self-healing on controller faults and streaming normalised telemetry to a cloud platform, with a structured QA and handover programme at the end of the engagement.
Rise Building Technology is the Australian engineering practice of Raviloshan (Rav) Panchalingam, a software engineer who has worked at the intersection of software and buildings since founding Rise Technology in Brisbane in 2010. Early work included Bitpool, a cloud building-energy data platform, before the practice settled into long-running engineering engagements with automation integrators and facilities-management providers.
The firm is deliberately small. Work is delivered directly by the principal with a small, long-standing group of specialist contractors, which is why engagements tend to last years. Robotics and autonomous-agent work sits with our sister company, Rise Robotics.
For engagement enquiries, supplier onboarding or verification of our details, email the principal directly. We reply within one business day, Australian Eastern time.
