Consultancy

There are two factors in business that will make the difference – the quality and timing of decisions made within your business.

The major factor in this is information – and more importantly the effective dissemination of information.  Our job as audio visual consultants is to ensure that your business has the right environment and tools to achieve this.

We have all been in presentations that fail in their objective because of factors affecting the delivery of the information.  It could be that the visuals cannot be seen for one reason or another – possibly the screen is too small, or not bright enough.  It could be that the presenter cannot be heard, or simply that the presenter cannot get the equipment to work.  It could be that the environment is not right, or there are too many distractions.

All of these factors can be ‘designed out’ at the planning stage of new projects and many can be ‘designed around’ in planning refurbishments or upgrades.  The pertinent factors we can advise on include the following:

• AV screen sizes and positions for good viewability.
• Audio requirements for good intelligibility and comfortable listening.
• AV system design for flexibility, ease of use and reliability.
• Room position with respect to ambient light and access / comfort / refreshments.
• Room aspect ratio with respect to presenter focus and audience participation.
• Screen size and room height relative to viewing distance.
• HVAC design relative to air movement and noise levels.
• Artificial lighting design relative to screen contrast ratios, camera(s), comfort and safety.
• Ambient light control for the different areas/requirements within the presentation space.
• Interior and architectural design relative to DDA and AV.
• Interior design relative to audience psychology, colours and video camera use.
• Interior design in terms of reflected ceiling plans and ceiling mounted av services.
• Seating layout and design relative to safety, viewing lines and comfort.
• Acoustic performance relative to noise versus sound, privacy and intelligibility.
• M & E design in terms of power, data, containment, space, heat and structural load bearing.
• Structured data cable systems in terms of av utilisation and point to point requirements.
• Comms Room design in terms of cooling and space for AV Equipment.

Pure AV have a team of highly experienced and uniquely qualified consultants with real life experience in all sectors of Audio Visual that make us the best choice to help you achieve success.

We offer our consultancy as a stand-alone service or as a part of a design and build service with full aftercare.  We will work on an open book policy at an agreed margin or we will compete for the implementation of the design in a tender process.  Our project management services are available in either case to ensure compliance with the agreed design and performance specification.
