What you can expect over the course of your project.
When you are looking at hiring an audio/video firm, be sure to ask what process that company uses to complete projects and see it in place and working.
Discovery
Our initial consultation with you will define your wants, needs and objectives. Bring a copy of your floorplans either hard copy or electronic file, preferably to leave with us, so that we can better lay out the different systems. If you are remodeling your existing home, an on-site walk through is in order. From this meeting, our team will draft a scope of work within in your budget and system requirements.
Design & Proposal
After the scope of work has been defined we progress to a contracted design phase. Here we will design your system and generate a custom proposal that will detail the products, pricing and labor.
Engineering Schematics
Along with the design and proposal, we will engineer your system. All the equipment connections are mapped out and rack diagrams are produced in order for our technicians to successfully assemble all the equipment. This may also include wiring locations on your floorplans.
Equipment Procurement
Since our systems are custom, we order equipment for each project individually. This phase can sometimes take up to 30 days depending on manufacturer lead times, so be patient - it's worth it!
Rough-in Wiring
This phase is done after the electrician has finished wiring. All the necessary wiring for speakers, keypads, touch-screens, phone, data, television, security and more are installed throughout the home. All of this is based on the custom plan developed in the earlier steps.
Trim
After your equipment arrives in our facility and your home has been sheet rocked and painted, we install all the trim plates, speakers, in-wall touchpanels, distribution panels; finishing up all the things that go in the walls.
Final Installation
During the final installation phase, we will bring your equipment, rack, table top touchpanels and remote controls, free standing speakers, televisions, acoustic treatments, to your home. On-site programming and calibration will also be completed. Final testing will be done which includes the control of integrated systems like HVAC, pumps, sprinklers, and motorized shades.
