A specialist for every step,
from kickoff to closeout.

The lead on every brief. Henry reads the room description or the RFP, asks the missing questions, sizes the system, and calls the AVIXA clause behind every decision.

• Reads natural-language briefs or RFPs (commercial, federal, or otherwise), classifies the room, asks the missing-requirement questions in plain English.
• Covers the full range of AV engineering: audio, video, lighting, control, acoustics, and the network layer.
• Sizes microphone coverage from manufacturer pickup-pattern data; selects the right ceiling-array or boundary mic for the room geometry.
• Selects displays against the viewing-task tier per AVIXA V202.01 (DISCAS); sightline and front-row math worked.
• Runs the math: BTU heat load, power consumption, PoE budget, projector throw distance, camera framing, speaker zoning + wiring, required power at amplifier, Ohm's law.
• Verifies mount capacity against manufacturer spec; flags load violations before they hit the floor.
• Knows the physics of analog and digital video and sound, plus lighting, and how networking actually works in AV/IT.
• Calls out plenum compliance, AVoIP topology, network bandwidth, thermal load on every BoM.
• One-click SOW generation from the BoM. Refuses to write SOW lines for hardware that isn't on the BoM.
• Reviews any customer modification to a BoM and flags removals of crucial items. Engineering Review can be toggled off.

The proposal owner. Elena turns the engineered system into a bill of materials with citations on every row, then exports the proposal in the format the customer needs.

• Accepts input in any format: BoM (Excel, CSV, PDF, image), bid spec (PDF, Word), or SOW. Produces a structured BoM with pricing and labor.
• Discerns the AV scope from a multi-trade bid spec (electrical + AV + low-voltage) and pulls only the AV portion.
• Holds brand-locks under FAR §52.211-6; substitution requests reference the clause.
• Detects Davis-Bacon, prevailing-wage, and MWBE/DBE flags from federal-RFP language and propagates them through the bid.
• Cites the standard authoring each spec row: AVIXA, NEC, ADA, ANSI/TIA.
• Per-project preference for whether the BoM includes price, labor, both, or neither. Separate hide-pricing toggle at export.
• Spec sheet database with customer-contributed entries so submittals generate quickly from the catalog.
• Exports the proposal as PDF or Excel. Customer-branded cover page on hand-off.
• When building racks, takes device depth into account so the spec'd rack actually fits the gear.
• Surfaces conflicts (mount-load fails, capacity mismatches, missing capabilities) before the bid leaves the engine.

Sketches first; construction drawings later. Sophia generates AVSK-numbered sketches at design-review speed, then promotes to construction drawings on project hand-off.

• Generates AVSK-XX numbered sketches from the engineered system at design-review speed (starting at AVSK-01).
• Promotes sketches to full AV construction drawings: floor plans, RCPs, elevations, mounting details, signal flows, rack elevations, plate details, riser diagrams.
• Extracts BoMs from any PDF drawing the customer provides (working with Elena), no manual re-typing.
• Cable take-offs from floor plans and RCPs for accurate bulk-cable ordering, plus a misc-materials list.
• Cable labels assigned methodically to your company's scheme. Cable sheet generated automatically when flows are drawn.
• Rack elevations with device depth: every rack laid out using real device-depth data so the enclosure fits the gear.
• Submittal packets for install + GC review: floor plan, RCP, signal flow, rack elevation, plate detail, BoM cross-reference.
• Mounting + plate detail drawings per device, sized against your real wall section and pathway.
• Reuses prior-project templates so the second boardroom or classroom generates in minutes.
• Customer chooses their own cable colors and white-labels output. CAD surface stays editable after auto-generation.

Owns the hand-off between estimation, drafting, and installation. Anthony sequences the work, tracks dependencies, and coordinates the team that actually ships the room.

• Tracks deliverables and deadlines across the full project lifecycle.
• Acts as the project's calendar and reminder layer. Tell him the BoM completion and equipment release dates; he adds them to your calendar.
• Schedule planning from project award through commissioning: milestones, critical path, float.
• Scope tracking: changes against baseline, change-order language, impact analysis.
• Sequencing: which trades, which week, what's blocking what.
• Follows up with clients, vendors, and manufacturers so nothing falls through.
• Hand-off coordination between Elena, Sophia, Teresa, and David.
• Stakeholder communication: status updates, risk surfacing, decision-required prompts.
• Punch list and close-out tracking through substantial completion, final acceptance, and warranty handover.
• Resource forecasting against your team's capacity so you see overallocation before the bid is committed.

Pricing, lead times, distributor relationships. Teresa catches obsolescence before the install date and keeps the BoM sourced through the right channel for each SKU.

• Tracks equipment orders end-to-end: PO out, acknowledged, in transit, delivered.
• Pricing across preferred-brand and global-partner distributor channels.
• Lead-time tracking and forecasting against project install date.
• Obsolescence detection: flags discontinued or EOL SKUs before they hit the truck.
• Substitution sourcing when a primary SKU goes out of stock: same family, equivalent spec, citation preserved.
• Takes new device requests, researches them online, and adds them to your database with the right metadata.
• Dealer-pricing CSV imports for shops that maintain their own pricing.
• Distributor preference rules: which brands route through which rep firm.
• Integrates with your ERP, CRM, and accounting software so procurement reflects reality.
• Watches manufacturer announcements for EOL notices, price changes, and new releases on your active projects.

Stands up the room. David runs test signal, sets levels, generates DSP files, and produces the close-out documentation and as-builts the GC needs for sign-off.

• The agent the technician talks to in the field. Generates IT-approved network configs, populating Dante, AES67, NVX, Q-LAN, and other AVoIP protocols correctly.
• Generates the network documentation IT departments need before they'll approve an AV system (config files, VLAN plans, multicast topology).
• Troubleshoots field issues in plain language: "my audio sounds underwater", "I'm getting a hiss". Walks you through likely causes.
• DSP file generation and deployment to Q-SYS, Biamp Tesira, Crestron, Extron, Symetrix, and equivalents.
• Commissioning verification per ANSI/AVIXA 10:2013 (Audiovisual Systems Performance Verification).
• Checks DSP files and routes when something doesn't sound right.
• Debugs Crestron code: walks the user through the Toolbox debugger, traces control strings.
• Test signal generation: pink noise, sweep tones, video patterns per AVIXA verification standards.
• Level set, EQ tuning, room correction against the design target.
• Close-out documentation: as-builts, signal-flow updates, programming files, credentials handover.
