Four ways to work with us.
An install in your building, the agreement that keeps those rooms running afterward, a show on your calendar, or the AV department inside your venue. Four different contracts for four different situations. One habit underneath all of them: we spend the first part of every engagement finding out what is actually there, before anyone spends money on equipment.
The four
Installation and Integration
For enterprise IT, facilities, and anyone responsible for rooms that have to work in year five.
Design, engineering, installation and handover for commercial AV, standardized on Q-SYS and built to hold the same standard in one room or two hundred. We audit your network before we design anything, because commercial AV is an IT system with speakers attached.
The worst thing we have found on an audit: a company weeks from committing seven figures, on a network with no multicast traffic management of any kind.
Managed AV
For IT and facilities teams asking who owns this in year three.
The install does not end at the final invoice. We standardize your rooms onto one platform, then patch them, maintain them and refresh them on a schedule you can budget against. Above the huddle room, we monitor them too. Four room standards and the Campus program for portfolios of twenty-five rooms or more, priced monthly, annually or on a three-year capital cycle.
The tier is the scope. You know what you are buying before you ask what it costs.
Staging and Live Events
For corporate communications, event producers, and anyone with a date that cannot move.
Audio, video, lighting, rigging and crew for general sessions, town halls and productions. A producer, a project manager and a technical director are named on your show and accountable from kickoff to debrief.
Every piece of equipment is bench tested before it ships. That policy exists because of one overnight failure we are willing to tell you about in detail.
Venue Partnership
For general managers, ownership and asset managers at full-service hotels, resorts and casinos.
We put our capital into your building, own and maintain the equipment, staff a Director of AV on your floor, and split the revenue. We keep your group rates down rather than inflating them to fund the split, because your AV provider shows up in your event survey scores whether you want it to or not.
This fits properties where event AV combined with permanent systems work runs into seven figures a year. Below that, the math does not work for either of us and we will tell you so on the first call.
On an install or a managed AV agreement, the equipment is yours: title passes to you on the final invoice. Under a venue partnership it is ours, and we fund it, maintain it and refresh it at our cost.
We do the unbillable part first
An install starts with a network readiness audit. A show starts with pre production and a bench test. A partnership starts with a property assessment and a capital plan written during your RFP, before there is a contract.
None of that is the part anyone wants to pay for. All of it is the part that decides whether the rest works, and we would rather find the problem in week one, when it is a conversation, than on commissioning day or at doors, when it is a change order or a dark room.
It is also the reason our number is often lower than you expect. We ask for a deposit that covers the estimated project cost up front. That means we are not financing your project and we are not pricing the cost of financing it into your quote.

Not sure which one
- If you own the building and the rooms, start with installation.
- You are buying a system that has to keep working after we leave.
- If you are asking who owns this in year three, read managed AV.
- It is the second half of an install, not a separate door.
- If you own the date, start with staging.
- You are buying a show, and the equipment goes home afterward.
- If you own the venue and groups book AV through you, start with partnership.
- You are buying a department, and we fund it.
Still not obvious? That usually means the project is more than one of these at once, which is common and fine. Call us and describe the building.
