What Future Projects does

Future Projects is a privately held, founder-operated systems integrator headquartered in West Kelowna, British Columbia, delivering integrated security and technology infrastructure for commercial buildings, multi-residential developments, and property portfolios across the BC Interior (Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, Kamloops, Lake Country). The company was re-established in Canada in 2022 by Scott Wallis following his relocation from the UK, where he had operated the predecessor entity Future Projects Ltd for 18 years; it sits in the 11-50 employee band and remains bootstrapped with no disclosed external institutional investment.

The company's offering is organised around four interconnected service pillars: (1) CCTV surveillance using HD/4K IP cameras from Uniview, Hanwha Vision, AXIS, and Bosch, managed centrally via the Milestone XProtect VMS for multi-site deployments and enhanced with cloud-based AI person/vehicle detection and loitering alerts; (2) access control via ICT Protégée, Keyscan, Paxton, and CDVI supporting keycard, fob, biometric, PIN, and mobile credentials with full audit trails; (3) business communications combining Intermedia Unite cloud VoIP/UCaaS (sold as an authorised dealer alongside Aiphone intercoms and Valcom IP paging); and (4) low-voltage and IT infrastructure including Cat6/Cat6A/fibre structured cabling, conduit, rack/server-room builds, and Ubiquiti UniFi wireless. Maintenance and tiered support contracts (Essential, Professional, Premium) overlay the install base as the recurring-revenue layer.

The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales — free on-site consultation, scoping, custom system design, professional installation, and ongoing maintenance — targeting property managers, facilities directors, strata councils, and commercial developers. Revenue is generated through upfront project-based system installations (hardware pass-through plus integration labour) and an expanding base of recurring subscription maintenance and VoIP contracts. Named customers include CMHA Kelowna (multi-site, six-building CCTV and access rollout), Unity Connected Solutions, and a strategic-partnership engagement spanning CCTV, cabling, and networking services.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Ainsworth Inc. Canadian multi-trade technical services firm delivering electrical, ICT, security, and building technology solutions nationally. Overlaps with Future Projects on the structured cabling, networking, and security systems integration work, but at significantly larger scale and broader geographic scope.
• Chubb Fire & Security (Canada): National provider of fire, intrusion, access control, CCTV, and integrated security solutions across Canada. Comparable product overlap with Future Projects, but operates at enterprise scale with vertically integrated service and monitoring.
• TELUS (Security & Business Solutions): Major Canadian telecom offering security, monitoring, and managed communications services to commercial and SMB customers. Competes with Future Projects on commercial CCTV/monitoring and VoIP, and is the parent of Reliance Protectron, with much broader geographic reach and pricing power.
• GardaWorld Security Services: Large Canadian security services provider expanding into electronic security, monitoring, and integrated security solutions. Represents a broader incumbent competing for the same commercial security wallet, particularly with national property management accounts.

Direct peers

• Paladin Technologies: Canadian-headquartered security, life safety, and communications systems integrator with strong presence in Western Canada. Directly comparable to Future Projects on the integrated low-voltage, security, and structured cabling offering for commercial properties.
• Houle Electric: BC-based electrical and technology contractor providing security, access control, structured cabling, AV, and life safety services. Operates in the same BC Interior and broader Western Canadian market with a comparable integrated low-voltage value proposition.
• Sonitrol (national franchise): Commercial security systems integrator and monitored services provider with franchise presence across North America. Comparable to Future Projects on integrated CCTV, access control, and monitored security for commercial properties, particularly in multi-site accounts.
• Convergint Technologies: One of North America's largest security, fire, and integrated systems integrators. Convergint operates in the same integrated security/low-voltage space as Future Projects, with a much larger national footprint — it is the most direct comparable for the bundled CCTV + access control + communications model.

Others

• Acklands-Grainger: Canadian industrial and safety equipment distributor supplying security hardware, cabling, and related products. Functions as an upstream supplier/ecosystem partner to security integrators like Future Projects rather than a direct competitor.

Regional players

• Mircom Group of Companies: Canadian manufacturer and integrator of fire alarm, access control, and security systems. Comparable on the access control and integrated security systems side, with a stronger emphasis on fire/life safety than Future Projects.
