- ALL COMPANIES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL ….. Especially Ours!
- Research lighting and audio companies to get an unbiased opinion.
- Experience. How long have they been in business? What are their certifications?
- Quality. What materials are they using? What warranties are offered?
- Design. Do they offer a “true design approach” or just a cookie-cutter plan for your project?
- Reputation. Do they have any reviews? What is being said about them in the community, if anything?
- Location. Do they have a physical office or showroom? Or simply working out of a truck?
Site Assessment
- At initial appointment, our designer will perform a full site assessment with you and/or your client. We will discuss the project scope and desired effects, show examples of our work, and together discover the possibilities of what lighting & audio can offer.
- We’ll define the scope, determine focal points, and work through budget & phasing.
