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.

Our Customers
I am a visionary, and Hiring QA Graphics to complete the animation of my one million square foot indoor Motorsports facility was seamless. From the first face to face meeting to the completion of the final product. They listened, executed and provided me an animation that shows my concept. Excellent quality.
