Two operators setting a rig before an event

AV Consultancy

System design, equipment specification and installation support for venues, churches and studios.

Start a project

What this covers

The specifics.

Needs assessment
What the room has to do on a normal week, not on its best day, written down before anything is specified.
System design
Signal flow, camera positions, control positions and cable routes, drawn rather than described.
Equipment specification
A named schedule with model numbers and quantities, so you can tender it to more than one supplier.
Budget staging
A system designed in phases, so phase one works on its own and phase two does not mean replacing it.
Installation supervision
We hold the installer to the design and sign off the commissioning.
Operator training
Your volunteers or staff trained on the system as installed, with a written runbook they keep.

What you receive

  • A system design document with signal flow diagrams
  • An equipment schedule you can tender to any supplier
  • A phased budget, if the whole system cannot be bought at once
  • Commissioning sign-off and a written operator runbook

How a av consultancy job runs.

  1. 01

    Assessment

    We visit, measure the room, and ask what happens on a normal week.

  2. 02

    Design

    Signal flow, positions and routes, drawn and reviewed with you before anything is bought.

  3. 03

    Specification

    A named equipment schedule with quantities, open to tender.

  4. 04

    Commission and train

    We supervise the install, sign off the commissioning and train the people who will run it.


Questions

Before you ask.

Do you sell the equipment?

No, and that is deliberate. We specify it and you buy it, so our recommendation is not a sales margin.

Can you work with a budget that won't cover everything?

Yes. We design in phases so that phase one is a working system on its own rather than half of one.

Will you supervise our installer?

Yes. We hold the installer to the design, check the work against it, and sign off commissioning before you pay the final invoice.
