How We Work

How We Work

The Design-Build Process

One team designs it, builds it, programs it, and supports it. From concept to commissioning, your AV system is handled by the same people who understand your space and your goals.

Our Approach

The Design-Build Advantage

At Crunchy Tech, one team carries your AV project from first walkthrough to final wall-mount: consultation, engineering, installation, programming and ongoing support, under a single roof.

That kills the finger-pointing that shows up when a design firm, an integrator and a programmer all touch the same job. One team means one point of accountability, tighter timelines and a system that actually runs the way it was drawn up. The people who spec'd it are the same people wiring it and coding it.

New construction or an existing space you're renovating, the design gets built backward from your budget and your operational calendar.

Phase 1

Design

Every project starts with the same rigorous design process. This phase is identical for both new construction and retrofit - because the engineering has to be right before anything gets built.

Define the Outcome

What should the room do every night after install? We start with how guests move and what drives them to stay longer.

Analyze Your Space

Floor plans, sightlines, ceiling heights, structural constraints. Zone by zone.

Establish a Budget Range

We design to your budget, not around it. Same dollars, different result.

Proposed Layouts & Tiers

Good, Better, and Best for every zone. You pick the performance level wall by wall.

Phase 2

Implementation

Implementation differs based on your project type. New construction follows the build schedule. Retrofits work around your live operations.

New Construction

One team designs it, builds it, programs it, and supports it. From concept to commissioning, your AV system is handled by the same people who understand your space and your goals.

1

Engineering & Documentation

Building plans, design line diagrams, and detailed specs for your architect and GC.

2

Architect Coordination

We ensure infrastructure supports the technology — conduit, power, structure, network.

3

GC & Site Coordination

As construction progresses, we adapt. Same team that designed it is on site.

4

Install & Commission

One team installs, programs, calibrates, and commissions. Every preset tested.

5

Train & Support

Staff trained in minutes. Proactive support from day one. 90% of issues resolved without a truck roll.

1

Engineering & Documentation

Building plans, design line diagrams, and detailed specs tailored to your existing infrastructure.

2

Owner Coordination

Coordination of on-site schedules, deliveries, and points of contact. We work around your operations so your business stays open.

3

Site Coordination

Coordinating permits, electricians, networking, and programming of your system. We manage the trades so you don't have to.

Staff trained in minutes. Proactive support from day one. 90% of issues resolved without a truck roll.

See It First

Visualize your AV system beforeasingledeviceisinstalled

Every project starts with a visualization of YOUR venue. We show you exactly where every screen, speaker and light goes (and how they work together).

Then you pick the performance level for every wall and zone:

Years in the field gets us on a first-name basis with the people who build this equipment. We buy direct from QSC, Crestron, Just add Power, Philips, SHURE, SAVI and alongside many other major AV equipment manufacturers. Pricing comes off the factory sheet. When something fails, our engineers have a named contact and an escalation line.

That access never turns into a house brand. Most integrators learn one platform and spec it into every job, whatever the job needs. We built the company manufacturer-agnostic on purpose. We settle the design first, then pick the equipment to serve it. If your team already standardized on a platform, we design around that.

Working with Crunchy Tech was a fantastic experience from start to finish. They handled the sale and installation of all our sound and TV equipment at The County Bar in Aviston, IL, and absolutely nailed it. We were on a very tight deadline, and they not only met it—they delivered top-notch quality and service the entire way. Highly professional, responsive, and easy to work with. We couldn't be happier with the results.
