JCI
QA Graphics is the industry-leading provider of comprehensive BAS graphics services for Johnson Controls, Inc. projects. Johnson Controls has named QA Graphics as one of only two pre-qualified subcontractors with the ability to perform graphical work. Our skilled mechanical engineers can create the best system graphics for Metasys UI and Graphics+. Everything is done in-house, here in the United States, with nothing outsourced overseas.
Our team is trained in creating all Metasys UI (MUI) graphics, as well as the spaces and definitions that drive the front-end graphics. MUI is an efficient software that allows the user to provide photo-realistic images of equipment, systems, and floor plans. Our team provides consistent, high-end graphics for a customer from start to finish with a submittal process to ensure that each customer is provided exactly what they need on a project-by-project basis.
Graphics+ graphics are designed with the Graphic Generation Tool (GGT) – a powerful diagramming tool that helps designers create compelling representations and bind them to data objects.
STRUXUREWARE BUILDING OPERATION
QA Graphics provides system graphics development in the StruxureWare Building Operation Graphics Editor and can implement graphics and bind points in StruxureWare Building Operation Workstation for your project.
We can develop BAS graphics using the existing building automation symbol set or provide custom BAS graphic solutions. We can remotely access your StruxureWare system to install and bind the graphics or build graphics “offline”.
Our team of mechanical engineers and 3D designers are trained and up-to-date with the current version.
NIAGARA SYSTEM GRAPHICS
QA Graphics provides system graphic development for all versions of Niagara 4, including Niagara Reflow.
We can develop BAS graphics using the existing Niagara symbol libraries or provide custom BAS graphics solutions. QA Graphics enhanced symbol libraries both come with .jar files that have the ability to be seamlessly used inside of all Niagara software.
QA Graphics full turnkey solution includes all of the site’s equipment graphics, floor plans, navigation and point mapping. The work can be completed on a live station via VPN, or offline with a station backup.
Our Customers
QA Graphics did an exceptional job on the graphics for our recent project, which was full of confusing and complex systems. You would almost think that QA Graphics was part of the project from the beginning. In fact, I have been surprised many times to find that little obscure things were picked up on that I was sure would be missed. I REALLY appreciate the work QA Graphics did on this project.

I would like to throw a huge shout-out to you and your team for all the hard work on the project. After downloading the new MUI package we expected to see problems and were prepared to come back to QA with a bunch of fixes. This was not the case at all. QA really nailed it on this one and we at JCI are so thankful that you are part of the team!! This was by far the smoothest package that we have had to drop in and it really made us look good in front of this customer. This site has now become a showcase piece for future MUI sites and we are excited to show off the work that was done. Again, thanks so much for all the hard work and please let your team know how much we appreciate them going the extra mile to get this done in such a tight time frame. Looking forward to continuing the relationship and growing together as the future brings on more exciting projects.
