About
Description of Services: Design assist and Installation of AV Equipment
Software Delivered: Custom Crestron control software and user interface touch panels.
Continuing Services: Owner directed upgrades and modifications. Service, Support, and Maintenance.
Budget Considerations: This project required LINX to understand and deliver the original design intent and contracted base scope paired with a mid-project directive for significant scope changes driven by the owner. During the project’s life LINX worked to provide needs analysis meetings, functionality reviews, and finally to present value engineered solutions to the project team. LINX ensured we worked collaboratively with the construction team to stay ahead of any milestones to ensure pathways and infrastructure were planned out and provided in advance of the progressing schedule.
Quality: Quality assurance was performed from inception to hand over on this project. Functionality reviews performed early in the project ensured the AV systems designed met or exceeded the end users needs. Equipment was tested and verified in the Denver production facility ahead of schedule to guarantee an on-time delivery of the project on site. Interactive examples of user interfaces were provided to demonstrate how the AV systems would look and function so the end users could give feedback ahead of training and turn over. This project also required phased installs to stand up mission critical systems while construction progressed in other areas of the building which meant that quality was critical so we could plan and work to deliver AV systems while concurrently working in other areas.
Stakeholder Engagement: Communication was critical on this 3-phase, 3 building project. Early on, communication plans were established with the GC, EC, owner, owner rep, AV consultant, and architect. The plan ensured that the correct parties were involved in the right meetings and communications. When faced with the large change directive mid-project this allowed the new design plans to be created and executed efficiently and effectively. At each phased turn-over, we met with different user groups and support staff to make sure the AV systems met their needs, feedback was gathered and addressed appropriately, and finally that each user was trained.
