Design-build audiovisual for Oklahoma City civic rooms, offices, restaurants, and energy campuses, in a downtown the voters built a penny at a time.
Oklahoma City did something almost no American city has pulled off: it rebuilt its own core on purpose, penny by penny, starting with a 1993 vote that taxed a cent of every sale and spent it on the city itself, then renewing the bargain again and again across three decades. The result is a downtown where an unusual share of the buildings, arenas, halls, libraries, riverfront facilities, civic rooms at serious scale, exists because voters said yes. That origin never wears off. A voter-funded building buys like a public building forever, with published processes, documented decisions, bid formats that mean exactly what they say, and a public that considers itself, correctly, the client.
We're comfortable in that room. Public-process work rewards the habits we run everywhere anyway, pricing to the bid as written, confirming requirements per project instead of assuming last year's held, documenting to a standard an auditor can follow, and building systems a rotating civic staff can operate without a technician on payroll. The private side of this metro, energy offices, aerospace-adjacent employers, a dining scene that's grown teeth, gets the same discipline with less paperwork. Real drawings, a rack that leaves our bench already exercised, install, tune, train, document, and support that handles most calls without a truck, about 47% of them inside an hour. Since 2008.

Spaces we've wired across Oklahoma City — each built and supported by the same local crew.
The voter-built downtown, Bricktown and the districts, the energy corridor offices, and the metro cities from Edmond to Norman that run their own halls.
The plains deliver damaging hail most years, so outdoor enclosures and mounts get chosen for impact first and appearance a distant second.
Straight-line gusts and tornado-season winds audit every outdoor anchor annually, so mounting gets engineered for the plains, not the brochure.
Summers bake and ice storms follow, and that annual swing cycles outdoor seals and housings until only the honest specifications survive.
Spring and fall patios earn seriously here, which justifies permanent weather-rated zones built to shrug off the July and January between them.
What we do here
Four kinds of buyers anchor our OKC work, and the biggest one answers to a ballot.
The council chambers, civic halls, libraries, and public venues that define this downtown buy through processes their funding demands: published bids, documented sourcing, review by people whose job is skepticism. We price those documents exactly as written, confirm the current requirements per project, and deliver files built for the audit that public money eventually invites. The rooms themselves are speech rooms first, a resident in the back row follows the proceeding or the referendum failed at the last mile, so microphone strategy leads, feedback margin gets engineered, and the controls get sized to the clerk actually running the meeting. Announcement systems in the big facilities get their own engineering, an instruction crossing a civic hall has to land on somebody mid-stride and still make sense.
The energy companies headquartered here buy conference floors with a trading-desk temperament, decisions moving fast when prices do, rooms that have to work the moment somebody needs them, and zero patience for a system that greets a crisis meeting with a firmware update. The failures are national classics, hardware sized from catalog photos, floors that drifted until no two rooms match, and the fixes are permanent rather than clever: measure the real room, learn the platforms in actual use, give the entire floor one control behavior worth memorizing, and document past the next reorganization. Aerospace-adjacent employers around the metro bring documentation expectations of their own, and we build the file to survive them.
OKC's dining scene grew up fast and confident, Bricktown's canal-side rooms, the Plaza District's storefronts, Automobile Alley's converted showrooms, Midtown's rehabs, and the building stock splits the usual two ways. The conversions play acoustic hardball, brick and glass flinging sound until a squad of small speakers, run gently and zoned honestly, brings the room back to conversation. The new construction filling the gaps rewards early arrival, when routing cable paths and setting display backing into open framing costs next to nothing. Patios earn a real season here and then face plains weather with the safety off, so outdoor hardware gets chosen for hail it will genuinely meet, anchored for wind that arrives sideways, with a curfew button because the districts sleep close to their customers.
Beyond downtown, this metro works at plains scale, distribution floors along the interstates, fairground-sized venues, campus facilities, and the audio brief out there is announcement-first: an instruction has to cross an enormous volume, beat machinery or crowd noise, and arrive intact on somebody facing the wrong direction. Coverage gets designed from measured levels rather than optimism. Multi-site operators get the standardization treatment, one interface, one training, documentation that lets any competent technician service any location from the file, and support built remote-first because this metro spreads generously and windshield time is a tax nobody should fund. Where hands are needed, they arrive with as-builts, which turns one visit into one fix.
It means the process is the product alongside the room, and we treat both with respect. Publicly funded work in this city carries the obligations its origin demands: published bid documents we price exactly as written, sourcing and documentation requirements we confirm per project rather than assume, decision trails built for the audit that public money eventually attracts, and deliverables a citizen oversight process can read without translation. None of that slows us down, because the habits are our defaults anyway, we started in 2008 as the support company fixing other integrators' undocumented systems, and Crunchy Tech has been doing this since 2008, which is to say the paperwork discipline predates the public work. What we'd add from experience with civic rooms: have the engineering finished before the bid window opens, since a public timeline that slips waits for the next cycle, and design for the staff reality, because the person running a council chamber on Tuesday night is a clerk with three other duties, not a technician, and the controls should honor that. Voter-built rooms deserve systems that work every single time the public shows up. That's the actual spec.
Design for exactly that, because the trading-floor rhythm is a real specification most integrators never think to ask about. A room that's idle for days and then hosts a crisis meeting on ninety seconds' notice has one non-negotiable virtue: instant, boring readiness. No warm-up rituals, no firmware update ambushing the display at the wrong moment, no source-hunting while the call waits. We build for it deliberately, systems that wake fast from managed standby, control layers that put the whole room one button from working, updates scheduled through your IT team's windows instead of the hardware's whims, and monitoring that tells us a component is drifting before your worst morning finds out. Standardization multiplies the value, since urgency doesn't check which floor it strikes, and a trader who grabs the nearest room shouldn't face a different interface than the one upstairs. The far end of the table stays audible on every platform your desks and your counterparties actually use, because a crisis call with a mute half is a crisis squared. Idle-then-urgent is honestly one of our favorite briefs. It rewards engineering over spectacle, which is the game we practice anyway.
It can survive handsomely if it's specified for the actual plains rather than a catalog's gentle imagination, and the threat list here is specific. Hail leads it, the genuine article that dents cars, so outdoor enclosures and grilles get chosen for impact rating first, and mounting positions consider what a spring cell drops from above. Wind comes second and arrives sideways, straight-line gusts that audit every anchor, so mounts get engineered for load with margins a calmer market would call paranoid. The temperature spread does the slow damage, summers over a hundred, ice storms that glaze everything, a swing that cycles seals and gaskets until the cheap ones quit, which is why the specification names materials rather than trusting adjectives. Surge protection is standing equipment, because plains lightning treats unprotected electronics as a scavenger hunt. Built to that list, an OKC patio system runs for years while the weather does its worst, and the spring and fall seasons here genuinely earn the investment. Built off an inland-mild template, the same patio becomes an annual replacement subscription. The weather isn't negotiable. The specification is, once.
Really and thoroughly, and the metro's polite sprawl hides it well. Edmond, Norman, Moore, Yukon, and the rest are independent cities with their own councils, their own building departments, and their own review rhythms, and Oklahoma City's approvals carry no weight across any of those lines, however smoothly the streets flow over them. The filings, the inspectors, and the pacing differences between halls all live on our side of the ledger, and what reaches your desk is a timeline you can trust. Norman adds its own flavor, since university-adjacent work there runs on academic calendars and instructional rooms obey the campus rule, whoever walks in starts teaching without a phone call. What crosses every city line untouched is your operation: one interface, one preset logic, one training at every location, documentation so consistent that a ticket's suburb never matters, with roughly 47% of support requests settled remotely inside an hour, metro-wide. You run one business across a quilt of city halls. The quilt is our department.
