AV design begins before equipment enters the room.
OfficeBasics defines room requirements, system architecture and delivery priorities before procurement begins.
Better AV decisions begin with a clear brief.
Design Consultancy turns room, user and operational requirements into a practical direction before procurement or construction begins.
System architecture
Define audio, video, control, network and room requirements as one coordinated system.
Delivery documentation
Create layouts, signal flow and equipment schedules that make the next stage easier to deliver.
A simple path from site understanding to delivery-ready documentation.
The work starts with evidence from the space and ends with a project record that procurement, installation and support teams can use.
Every stage removes uncertainty before equipment is ordered or construction begins.
Discover the site
Survey rooms, access routes, existing infrastructure and the way people use the space.
Design the system
Translate findings into a practical AV, control and infrastructure approach.
Prepare delivery
Align documentation, budgets and sequencing before the build begins.
Five outputs that turn AV requirements into a clear delivery path.
The exact scope can expand from a focused survey to a complete design package, depending on the project stage and room count.

FAQs
Clear answers before the brief.
The essentials about scope, delivery and the practical next step.
1. What is included in AV design and consultancy?
The service can include stakeholder discovery, site surveys, room and use-case analysis, acoustic and viewing assessments, platform and network requirements, concept design, equipment schedules, budgets, drawings and implementation guidance. Deliverables are defined according to the project stage.
2. When should an AV consultant be involved in a workplace project?
AV design should begin before room layouts, ceiling services, power, data points and furniture positions are frozen. Early involvement reduces redesign, cable-routing conflicts, unsuitable equipment locations and avoidable changes during installation.
3. Can OfficeBasics review an AV design or bill of quantities prepared by another party?
Yes. A design review can check use-case alignment, room coverage, product compatibility, signal flow, cable and network requirements, installation access, maintainability and omissions before procurement or construction proceeds.
4. How does OfficeBasics avoid over-specifying or under-specifying a room?
Recommendations are based on actual users, meeting types, room dimensions, seating, viewing distance, acoustics, conferencing platform, operating model, support needs and budget. Products are selected after these requirements are established rather than treating a brand or device as the starting point.
