The process from design to completion
Contact us on 0844 414 2802
Contact us to arrange a meeting at your
convenience.
Initial meeting
At our initial meeting, we will have an
informal discussion to understand your requirements and to give you some
ideas. At this stage we will try to establish as much basic detail as
possible, such as the area you wish to use, the number of students you
wish to accommodate, whether you wish to use laptop or desktop PCs,
whether you will re-use existing seating, etc.
Site-survey and CAD drawing
We will conduct a full site-survey using a
laser-measure and CAD to draw the existing area in as much detail as
possible. This will take between 1 and 3 hours to complete, depending on
the complexity of the area.
Design the ICT suite
Using the information that we gathered at
our initial meeting and the CAD drawing, we will design the ICT suite to
exactly match your needs in terms of function, appearance and budget. If
the area is an unconventional shape or has significant space
constraints, we will produce a 3D visualisation of the suite to verify
that we are gaining optimum use of the available space.
Proposal
We will send a proposal to you showing the
design and the detail of how the ICT suite will be constructed. If
possible, we will go through it with you in person so that we can both
resolve any queries we may have.
Decision
When you are happy with the proposal, tell
us you wish to go ahead, and we will agree an installation date with
you. From this point onwards, we will take responsibility for the
installation through to completion.
Installation planning
As part of the management of the project, we will liaise with your
premises staff and IT support to ensure that the area is prepared prior
to installation (clearing desks and chairs from a classroom, for
example). We will carry-out a risk assessment at this stage, and may
visit site again to gather some of the finer detail about the
electricity supply and your network. We will procure all the materials
needed and co-ordinate the various trades to ensure everything arrives
on-site on the appointed day, at the appointed time.
Installation
From the start of the installation through
to completion, the on-site project manager ensures that the project plan
is followed precisely, and that everyone understands exactly what is
required. Time spent on the CAD drawing and gathering detail will pay
dividends here.
Testing
The electrical wiring is tested and certified to IEE Wiring Regulations
Edition 17, and the network tested and certified to TIA/EIA-568-B.
PC set-up
If you are supplying your own PCs or laptops, we will un-box them and
set them up in the ICT suite. We are happy to configure the PCs,
although this is usually carried out by IT support staff or County IT
support.
Ready to use
Your new ICT suite is now ready for students to use!
