Wireless & communications systems
Enterprise WiFi, cabling, voice, AV and the data centre behind them.
- WiFi surveysOn-site WiFi surveys with AirMagnet Survey Pro heat maps that show where coverage, capacity and interference fall short, and what to change.
- WiFi design and buildEnterprise WiFi designed around your users and building, then installed, configured and verified with a post-installation survey.
- Point-to-point (long range) wirelessWireless links that connect buildings, yards and remote sites where running fibre or copper is impractical, from path study to aligned and tested link.
- Structured cabling design and buildCopper and fibre cabling designed to ANSI/TIA-568 practice, installed, labelled, tested and documented so your network has a reliable base.

Maintenance & inspections
Independent inspections of a building's structure and condition, with a written record of what to fix first.

- Home inspectionsHome inspections where you walk the property with the inspector, hear the findings on the day and get a written report within two days.
- Certificate of occupancy inspectionsPre-occupancy inspections that find deficiencies before the authority's final inspection, so your building is ready to be occupied on schedule.
- Roof inspectionsRoof inspections for flat and sloped roofs that find leaks, drainage problems, ventilation issues and wear before they turn into interior damage.
- Concrete inspections and X-rayConcrete condition inspections and scanning before cutting or coring, so you understand cracks and deterioration and avoid hitting rebar, tendons or conduit.
