We can apply our Crestron design and engineering knowledge and expertise to document requirements for AV and integrated technology products, materials and services for a proposed project. We can work together with architects and engineers to assist in preparing contract documents and construction requirements. Our specifications describe the type and quality of every product required for the project including functionality, installation and finishing. Codes and standards are addressed where appropriate.
Comprehensive and thoughtful system design and engineering up front leads to the best balance of functionality, reliability and aesthetics in the end result. Avoid costly mistakes or change orders, having to do something twice, or tearing up walls once they’ve been closed. Careful attention is given to the numerous details involved with Crestron prorgamming software to ensure our customized technology solutions are easy to use and deliver consistent performance and allow for future expansion or upgrades. Everything from wiring infrastructure, hardware location, control device placement, user interface design, power management and blending equipment with architectural elements and interiors is planned out in advance. We coordinate with architects, engineers, interior designers, general contractors, and affected sub-contractors.
A smoother construction process is achieved when the Crestron automation system design is documented in advance of actual construction. All parties involved in building your space benefit with clearly defined drawings for device location, pre-wire, technical power, schematics, rack elevation, lighting control, motorized window treatments, equipment space planning, video sightlines, requirements for video niches, and more. We coordinate with your entire design team including architects, engineers, designers, contractors, and consultant to reduce confusion and achieve a smooth and efficient project from start to finish.
At the completion of the project we will produce and provide a clear and concise final set of as-built drawings of our Crestron design and engineering. This is critical because a constructed building almost never corresponds exactly to the original design drawings and becomes a valuable asset for any property. The documentation includes all changes that have been made to the original construction drawings, including notes, modifications, and any other pertinent information. Accurate as-built documents help with maintenance and future service calls saving time, money, and frustration down the road. Remodeling or upgrading later becomes significantly easier with exact conditions of how the system is implemented in space.
You may have a beautiful, high performance vehicle but can’t easily turn it on or drive it where you want to go, then it’s not as valuable. The same holds true with the user interface for your Crestron control system. Making sophisticated technology easy to use and simple for any user to get a high level of performance requires advanced work on the back end. Control systems continue to bring together more sub-systems from audio/video, media, lighting, shading, climate, etc.. It’s as if each is speaking a different language and we translate everything together so it speaks one language to you that’s easy to understand. Even if the equipment is properly selected and is robust, the programming effort will determine the intuitive operation. Our Crestron certified programmers balance the technical know-how with the human element so you won’t need a manual filled with lots of instructions whether you’re using a touch screen, keypad, remote, or smart device to control the system.
A quality assurance process for Crestron control systems prior to occupancy is best achieved with commissioning services. It’s our goal to make sure the final installed system meets owner requirements and the design intent as planned after the many variables within the construction process. Owners will experience reduced energy and operating costs and enhanced satisfaction and acceptance from users. Residential and commercial programming services have become increasingly more complex with integration, daylighting, occupancy sensors, security, and addressable components. Verifying functionality throughout design and construction phases has become more essential to make a project successful. Commissioning is required to meet certifications such as LEED or ASHRAE compliances. Existing facilities also have the option for retro-commissioning and re-commissioning.
Just as a vehicle needs regular maintenance and over time require service or replacement of parts, the same is true with Crestron control systems. We provide continued tuning and system adjustments at set time intervals based on your unique solution to maximize performance levels. When something goes wrong, which is an inevitable truth about electronics, we will be there to fix it quickly. Plus the fact that constant innovation continues to advance electronic equipment means there may be new features and enhanced performance that you will want whether it’s for the video, music, security or control in your space. That’s why we take a proactive approach to Crestron support to communicate with you about the latest technology that is really important for you to consider and when updates to software and firmware are available. We’re here when you need us and are a trusted advisor you can count on.
