Your installation brief.

A starting point for a site review. Equipment, compatibility, and the final scope still need to be confirmed.

Gather the starting information

  • Mark the spaces and entrances involved on an available plan or simple sketch.
  • List the outcomes you need now and any additions you might want later.
  • Collect photos of visible equipment labels, device locations, and accessible cable routes.
  • Name the person who can approve the scope and provide access to the work areas.

Review routes and infrastructure

  • Arrange a wiring survey; keep cable reuse and new routes as open questions until inspected.
  • Identify the equipment location, available power, network requirements, and access for future service.
  • Confirm which rooms and areas belong in the installation scope.

Coordinate the work

  • Confirm the project stage and any dates that affect access or finished surfaces.
  • Name a site contact for installation-day questions.
  • Assign related work, patching, painting, cleanup, and approval of changes to named parties.

Agree on the handoff

  • Write down the functional tests and the everyday tasks the installer should demonstrate.
  • Request equipment inventory, cable labels, configuration records, and support contacts.
  • Confirm owner-controlled accounts, administrator access, and recovery arrangements.
  • Review warranty terms, required recurring charges, optional support, and outstanding work.
