The person who scopes the work stays with the work.
SOMA Controls is built around one operating rule: senior controls judgment stays close from the first walk-through to owner handoff.
SOMA represents the family behind the work. Controls names the discipline.

How the work stays accountable.
The handoff is between phases, not people.
- 01
Read the building
Existing systems, operating constraints, and the people using them become the brief.
ProtectsExisting value
Reuse and improve what works before recommending replacement.
- 02
Set the scope
The same senior engineer decides what should change, what should stay, and how the pieces must work together.
ProtectsOperational continuity
Phase work by risk and budget so the building can keep running.
- 03
Stay through delivery
Field questions return to the person who defined the intent, reducing translation loss and unnecessary handoffs.
ProtectsSecure access
Scope and secure remote support before anything connects.
- 04
Leave a usable record
Point lists, sequences, findings, and closeout information return to the owner in a form they can use.
ProtectsThe owner's record
Leave point lists, sequences, findings, and closeout records with the owner.
Alex Clark, Founder & Controls Engineer
Every building I walk into has a story. Most of them are running sequences written a decade ago for a building that no longer exists: different tenants, different loads, different equipment. My job is to make the controls tell the truth about the building they're actually in.
