The Architectural Planning Stage
The best time to involve a professional AV designer is during a project's early design and build phase, particularly during the architectural planning stage. This proactive approach ensures several benefits, including cost savings, system customization, and long-term value.
Seamlessly integrating AV systems into the building design allows for adequate cable runs and proper equipment placement before the walls have come up. It enables our team to work with contractors and architects, proactively addressing any challenges and, ultimately, allowing us to create a user-friendly system that enhances your company's aesthetics. Determining and addressing room acoustics, speaker positioning, and display placement during the planning stages optimizes the entire system and your investment.
Consulting audio-visual professionals in the early stage can help you make more informed decisions, including the products that will achieve the best ROI and the brands best suited to your current and future needs.
Reducing Costs
Working with an AV company that promises lower upfront costs can be tempting. That practice, however, almost always leads to a higher price tag down the road. By prioritizing quality over cost when possible, you ensure a reliable system with greater longevity.
By becoming involved in the project in the early planning stages, we can incorporate the required infrastructure, preventing costly retrofits and change orders.
Customization
By collaborating with architects and end-users, AV professionals can deliver tailored solutions that align with the desired specifications, providing the solutions to specific challenges. Early collaboration also ensures the technology blends in seamlessly with the overall aesthetics, with no visible wires or equipment intruding on the design.
Future Proofing
One of the issues we see most frequently in lower-quality audio-video systems where installers have cut corners is a lack of forethought and inadequate design. Getting the greatest ROI requires hiring an AV designer for future-proofing systems.
Creating scalable solutions accommodates evolving needs, reducing the all-to-frequent replacements and additional purchases that accompany systems created with tunnel vision and only the immediate needs of a business. By looking ahead, it's possible to prepare a company for its next-level chapter while staying within the current budgetary constraints.
At Premier AV Tech, we design and integrate AV systems that increase your bottom line while enhancing the aesthetics and the user experience. From collaborative video conferencing solutions to LED video walls, distributed AV systems, and digital signage, every AV system aligns with your vision, focusing on driving your company's overall success.
