Design/Build
Creative, Cost-Effective Solutions: Our engineering team is dedicated to providing creative and cost-effective solutions tailored to your specific needs. We understand that every project is unique, and we take a collaborative approach to design and engineering. By thinking outside the box and leveraging our extensive experience, we identify innovative solutions that not only meet your requirements but also optimize costs. Our goal is to deliver cutting-edge technology without exceeding your budget, ensuring that you get the best value for your investment.
IP Production/Traditional AV Skill Set: In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, it’s crucial to have a versatile engineering team capable of working with both IP-based and traditional production and AV systems . Our engineers possess a diverse skill set that spans the latest in IP-based technology and the tried-and-true methods of traditional mediums. This versatility allows us to seamlessly integrate new technologies with existing systems, ensuring compatibility and smooth operation.
Build House
To minimize disruption and ensure timely execution, we offer offsite system staging and full configuration services. Our facilities are equipped to replicate your project environment, allowing us to thoroughly test and configure systems before installation. This approach not only reduces on-site installation impact but also identifies and resolves potential issues in a controlled environment, preventing costly delays. This prestaging ensures that your systems are fully optimized and ready for action when they arrive on-site, ensuring a seamless and efficient deployment process.
Documentation
Our design philosophy is built upon the foundation of a mature, in house enterprise-level CAD automation platform, DCAD. This platform represents the culmination of years of development and refinement, allowing us to deliver exceptional design solutions efficiently and reliably. With DCAD, we can streamline the design, procurement and deployment processes, improve accuracy, and reduce the potential for error. DCAD ensures that design details progress accurately through the project lifecycle by direct API level interfacing with our Project Management and financial applications.
At the heart of our design philosophy is the “Every Cable, Every Connector” principle. We believe that no detail is too small to be overlooked, especially when it comes to the critical components that make up your systems. This philosophy drives us to meticulously account for every cable and connector in your designs, ensuring that each element is properly specified and documented. Every detail is implemented and integrated into your design and travel with the overall design via our DCAD platform. This dedication to precision is a testament to our commitment to delivering design solutions of the highest quality and visibilty.
We understand that projects evolve, and modifications are often necessary. That’s why we adhere to the principle of easily modifiable document sets. Our design documents are structured and organized via DCAD, and this allows for straightforward and efficient updates and modifications. Whether you need to make minor adjustments or implement significant changes, our design and documentation platform is designed to accommodate your evolving requirements without causing delays or complications. This ensures that your project remains agile and responsive to changing needs, empowering you to make updates with confidence and ease.
