Most Security Problems on a Job Aren't Technical. They're Coordination Problems.
The wrong product gets picked to hit a number. The integrator shows up out of sequence. Submittals get approved without a real review. Then the owner inherits a system nobody documented, and the callback lands on the GC.
Marlow Aegis sits on your side of the table so none of that happens.
Physical Security Consulting Services for Contractors
Security Product Evaluation & Recommendations
Access control, intrusion detection, and video assessed against your budget, your schedule, and the AHJ. Every recommendation is chosen on fit and total cost of ownership, never manufacturer incentives.
Security Design Review & QA/QC
Phase-by-phase review of the security drawings and specifications, so gaps, overspecs, and code conflicts get caught while they're still inexpensive to fix. Review and comment only; engineered design stays with the engineer of record.
Integrator Submittal Review
A real technical check on integrator submittals against the design intent, the budget, and the owner's standards, so what gets installed is what was approved.
Security Project Management & Coordination
Integration managed around how the job actually gets built, keeping the security scope in sequence with your crew, your trades, and the owner's facilities team.
Commissioning Support & Owner Handoff
Red-lines, documentation, and training precise enough that someone who wasn't in the room can maintain the system five years from now.
How We Work with Your Team
-
Plans, budget, and schedule, with conflicts flagged the week we see them.
-
Vendor-neutral product recommendations, submittal review, and hands-on coordination with your integrator.
-
Documentation and training the owner will actually use, with support through commissioning.
On Your Side of the Table
Marlow Aegis doesn't sell equipment, install systems, or take manufacturer incentives. Engineered design, installation, and code sign-off stay with your licensed contractor or engineer. That independence is what keeps our recommendations honest.
Meet Jeff Marlow,
Founder and Principal
I spent 18 years leading physical security at Amazon, most recently as Regional Senior Manager, Physical Security Programs, Americas. I co-authored Amazon's first global Logistics Physical Security Design Build Book, governed programs across more than 5,200 sites, and have delivered projects from the integrator's side with full P&L responsibility. Before that, I served more than 14 years in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
When you bring in Marlow Aegis, you work directly with me, from the first scope review through commissioning.
-
Security is a specialized scope that's easy to get wrong late in a project. A consultant catches product, code, and sequencing issues early, protecting your schedule, your margin, and your relationship with the owner.
-
No. Marlow Aegis is fully independent. We don't sell or install equipment, which keeps our recommendations vendor-neutral.
-
Access control, intrusion detection, and video surveillance, along with how those systems integrate with the rest of the building.
-
Yes. Data centers and mission-critical facilities are a specialty, drawing on Jeff's experience leading physical security at global scale.

Marlow Aegis is based in Tampa, Florida, and supports projects nationwide.
