## 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.

## 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.

### Design

#### 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.

### Implementation

#### Engineering & Documentation

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

#### Architect Coordination

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

#### GC & Site Coordination

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

#### Install & Commission

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

#### Train & Support

Hands-on training for your staff. Remote support from day one, built to solve issues before a truck roll.

## Retrofits

Upgrading an existing space comes with its own challenges: active operations, existing infrastructure, and tight timelines. Our Design-Build process adapts to keep your business running while we transform the experience.

### Implementation

#### Engineering & Documentation

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

#### Owner Coordination

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

#### Site Coordination

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

#### Install & Commission

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

#### Train & Support

On-site staff training at handoff. Help desk support from day one, with fixes handled remotely whenever possible.
