TRUST OUR SMART TECHNOLOGY EXPERTS IN CLEARWATER, FL
Our team offers advanced design, engineering, and installation services for low-voltage lighting, distributed audio video, networking, home theaters, smart home systems, and outdoor AV solutions across Clearwater, Tampa, St. Petersburg, and neighboring areas in Florida. We prioritize a customer-oriented approach, crafting bespoke living solutions that can be expanded and updated anytime.
WE'RE HERE FOR EVERY STAGE OF YOUR INSTALLATION
AV technicians often adopt the role of salespeople, prioritizing the sale of high-priced systems and components. However, building a lasting relationship calls for a different strategy—acting as a facilitator. Our certified staff takes pride in their expertise and is always ready to address questions from both new and existing clients. We'll collaborate closely with you at every stage, from initial plans to product ordering and continuous support. Contact AV Specialists below to discuss your project!
1. Discovery Process:
To create the perfect commercial or home automation design, we need to understand your needs and desires first. Determining your key objectives and identifying any major constraints are crucial steps in formulating a strategic plan and developing roadmaps tailored to your lifestyle goals. We’ll also outline the necessary personnel and processes required to realize your smart system ambitions.
2. CONTROL SYSTEM DESIGN:
Following our initial discussions, our team develops a detailed system design complete with all necessary documentation for your AV, lighting, motorized shades, networking, and more. This documentation encompasses the overall strategy, full specifications, component details, implementation methods, and timeline benchmarks. We will present each design to you for review, providing "as-is" documentation that records any deviations from the original plans, ensuring clarity and alignment throughout the project.
3. Engineering:
In the third stage, we utilize CAD technology to produce detailed structural drawings and in-depth documentation that cover labor demands, low-voltage wiring systems, lighting configurations, rack elevations, and engineering schematics. Professional engineering documents are essential for effectively managing critical aspects such as power distribution, conduit placement, data transmission, and the integration of electrical, plumbing, structural, and mechanical systems. This meticulous documentation not only guarantees that the final project aligns with the approved designs but also facilitates the acquisition of necessary state and city permits.
4. AV Bid:
The request for proposal (RFP) process is pivotal in many corporate, educational, and government projects. Excelling in AV bids involves crafting detailed, professional RFPs that outline our company's qualifications, pricing, proposed timelines, and design recommendations. Each submission is then meticulously reviewed by the facility's owner, manager, or architect, who will make the final decision on the design. Navigating AV bids can be complex, but our team is equipped to assist you through every stage of the process.
5. Implementation Process:
As we install low-voltage wiring and home technology solutions, thorough documentation is critical. Our design-bid-build approach supports your unique goals rather than those of a third-party contractor. We diligently make sure that all plans are adhered to and that relevant as-built documentation is continually updated. By deploying the same team of experts across all stages, we streamline the installation process, guaranteeing that the final project remains faithful to your original vision.
6. SUPPORT SERVICES:
Installing a technology system is only the beginning. We provide continuous training, service, and support to keep your business's or home's smart system running smoothly. We hold onto design documentation for future servicing and maintenance, offer on-site training, manage warranties, and provide ongoing technical support for any arising issues. AV Specialists also provides 24/7 remote monitoring plans that feature performance testing and priority service phone calls.
