As the TechGC we bridge the gap between design-build and specialized technology trades to strategize, plan, and oversee technology from concept through delivery. On the client side we act as a technology owner’s rep to advise on tech solutions. On-site we serve as the central point of contact for all connected technologies, simplifying the nuances of multi-vendor management. We provide insight into the value engineering process to ensure that economic decisions will not impact the holistic vision and performance of the Technology Master Plan. 

During the design phase we partner with the MEP to take over the AV/IT, Access Control, Surveillance, Telecom and IoT design and specification. We also work simultaneously with the architect to plan out the pathways and risers required for the tech infrastructure, including airflow + cooling for IDF closets and conduits to bring cabling into individual units. During construction we coordinate timelines and oversee deliverables from each technology partner. Upon delivery, we provide systems training for all end-users and on-going monitoring and maintenance of connected systems. 

With tech planning, it's essential that you get it right the first time. A thorough design process sets your project up for success and makes everyone's job easier. Investing in your technology design upfront will save you money at every other stage of construction and throughout the building’s life cycle. It’s expensive (and a pain in the you know what) to physically change or add cabling infrastructure once construction has begun.
