Five steps. One set of eyes on all of them.
Every step produces something you can hold — a marked-up drawing set, a device schedule, a specification, a site report, a commissioning record. That paper trail is what the installer prices from and the owner maintains from.
Drawing review
We read the architectural, electrical, mechanical and door hardware sets as one document, because that is how the building gets built. Sightlines, pathways, riser space, power, fail-safe hardware, network closets — every conflict is marked up on the drawings and listed in a report before it goes to tender and becomes a change order.
Design & specification
A device schedule, camera and door schedules, riser and pathway diagrams, network segmentation, and a written specification that says what is required rather than which brand to buy — so any qualified contractor can price it and the owner is not locked to one supplier.
Tender support
We answer bidder questions, level the quotes so they are compared like for like, and review submittals against the specification before anything is ordered. The cheapest quote and the right quote are often not the same document.
Construction review
Site visits at rough-in — before the drywall closes — and at trim-out, with a photo record of every visit. Deficiencies are listed while the installer is still on site, when fixing them costs an hour rather than a ceiling.
Commissioning & closeout
We witness the commissioning — every door, every camera, every scene — verify the as-builts against what was actually installed, and check the closeout package before final payment is recommended. What the owner receives is what they will maintain from for the next ten years.
Advice that isn't attached to a sales quote.
Most low-voltage designs are done by whoever is selling the equipment, and most reviews are done by nobody. The owner finds out at occupancy that the cameras don't see the door and the fobs don't open the parkade.
We sit on the owner's side of the table. That is the whole idea.
