Design-Build Process

As a design-build technology integrator we implement five phases through the course of a project from concept to completion. Careful thought and attention is given during each step to ensure you receive a solution tailored to your needs and delivers the benefits you desire. We are committed to making the entire experience from start to finish as effective and efficient as possible.

We are responsible for all phases of the AV and integrated technology work including the needs assessment, system design, engineering, installation, commissioning, training and service. During the design-build process it is very important to ensure the needs analysis (also called the "discovery") has been performed otherwise the system design and project contract will be too vague.

Let Our Process Guide the Way

For all of our projects, we strive for the ultimate professionalism by sticking to a consistent and transparent process. This way you know exactly what to expect throughout all phases of the project and have a clear understanding of how your technology goals are brought to life.

From start, to finish, and beyond...

1. Discovery Process:

Your project begins with a one-on-one conversation where we learn everything about your needs and preferences so we can design a system curated just for you. We’ll take the time to learn about your lifestyle, interests and budget or space constraints. As we learn more, we’ll be able to better tailor the ideal functionality and capabilities for your system.

2. Location Walkthrough:

This is the time when we walk though your location, either physically or on a set of plans or blueprints, to decide which of the parts of your home you choose to control/automate. We'll choose tv/speaker locations, detail lighting locations, pick a centralized location for the equipment and any other aspect of your particular project.

3. Engineering/Estimating:

Once we've gathered all the information we need during the walkthrough, we can then begin to design your system and develop a scope of work which will enable us to create the estimate. We will then meet with you to review, in great detail, all of the line-item costs. This process in invaluable to our customers understanding of exactly what is being purchased. We'll never give you a "paragraph and a price". You deserve better.

4. Implementation Process:

At the job site, our staff uses the engineering documentation to lay out all necessary low-voltage wiring and device enclosures. Knowing the unique requirements for various subsystems, our technicians expertly install and test all devices to ensure they work as specified in the original documentation. How long the process takes will depend on the project scope as well as any change orders along the way. If any changes are made during this stage, they’re included in relevant as-built documentation.

5. Service & Support:

After installation, we ensure our clients enjoy a world-class service experience to keep their integrated technology running smoothly for years. How can you enjoy optimal performance from your system? Every piece of documentation is kept for future service, manufacturer warranties are guaranteed and we offer ongoing tech support. Let us craft advanced service plans for you that include 24/7 remote monitoring, network performance tests and priority response times.
