Our Process
We have experienced how having one trusted partner from beginning to end, from vision to reality, is most efficient and effective. Great design is a waste without quality installation, as is an excellent installation of a poor design. Combining consultation, design, and installation with one capable partner serves you better.
In our partnership approach, the Design Contract and Build Contract are separated, so we design what you need, then collaborate with your team to hone the Build Contract to match your resources and schedule.

Leverage Our Expertise & Trusted Processes
Our team delivers innovative design, engineering and installation services for broadcast video systems, acoustic treatment panels, lighting, distributed audio-video, networking security and more. Our customer-focused approach provides tailor-made solutions with maximum scalability, reliability and flexibility. Finding imaginative solutions that directly tackle budget, building or workforce constraints is our central mission, whether we’re designing a new theatrical lighting system or partnering with a team of architects and builders in a new construction project in places like Spokane, Seattle, or Phoenix.
Our Team Guides You Every Step of the Way
Forging a lifelong relationship requires a different approach: that of a facilitator. Our certified staff is proud of their knowledge and eager to answer questions for new and existing clients. We can help with your initial needs analysis, and our staff will work with your team through every step, from design to ongoing training and support. Don’t hesitate to contact our team below to get started on your next technology project in Arizona, Washington, or wherever you are in the US.
1. Discovery Process:
We begin every design project focused on defining and developing ways technology can serve your vision. Our first kickoff meetings with your team set the course; when vision is communicated in a face-to-face meeting, every decision moving forward becomes more straightforward and clear. We start where you start, understanding your organization's mission and heartbeat, so we can build systems that accomplish your goals. There is no better way to bring clarity and alignment to your project than through our Accelerated Collaborative Design Workshop (ACD).
2. System Design:
Our team of experts will translate that initial needs analysis into a comprehensive design with the necessary documentation for your speaker design, lighting modeling and visualization, or acoustical analysis. Our design documentation highlights the overall strategy and complete specifications, component information and implementation, and timeline criteria. We will present each design to your team for feedback and collaboration to ensure we are on track and synced with the project's vision.
3. Engineering:
Stage three focuses on providing CAD technology and structural drawings featuring in-depth documentation of labor requirements, low-voltage wiring infrastructure, lighting loads, rack elevations, and engineering schematics. Having professional engineering documents is vital to address pain points in terms of power, conduit and data transmissions, as well as general electrical, plumbing, structural and mechanical needs. Careful documentation not only ensures the final project matches approved design expectations but will aid in acquiring state and city permits.
4. Proposal:
You do not like surprises; we know as we have been in your seat. We deliver all-inclusive budget numbers that anticipate and account for unique project requirements, reducing last-minute changes and change orders. This will include coordinating AVL infrastructure implementation with other construction trades with site inspections and verifications—complete installation, commissioning, tuning, and optimization. In addition, to ensure a great handoff, we include operational training and a one-year warranty on our workmanship.
5. Implementation Process:
Stellar documentation is the guiding force when implementing your project. Our approach ensures your technology professionals have your organizational goals in mind—not those of a third-party contractor. We ensure designs are followed throughout the project, and relevant as-built documentation is updated. Deploying the same team of experts for each stage facilitates implementation for a final project that is true to the original scope.
6. Service & Support:
Having the right technology system in place is just the first step. As part of our custom technology integration process, we offer ongoing training, service and support to extract optimal performance from your system. We save design documentation for future service and maintenance, provide your staff with on-site training, manage warranties and offer ongoing tech support to address any issues. Select from one of our service offerings to maintain the peak performance of your systems, or talk with our team to create a custom plan that matches your needs.
