In a traditional bid-spec model, the perception is that the project costs less, that significant savings can be achieved. But the reality is often that a project ends up costing more in the long run, has compromises in goals and functionality, and is rarely delivered complete and error free.
When your owners are focused on a consistent end-to-end approach to project goals, shouldn’t your construction and project delivery model focus on the same?
The design/build model is now being used in nearly half of all private and public sector construction projects because it is proven to keep projects on-timeline and within budget.
The IMS Design/Build model offers AV systems from concept through completion, with a greater value for owners and a lower total project cost. We avoid common pitfalls that AV consultants may miss in the design phase or owners may not have thought of, that both end up costing time and money late in the process.
True, measured accountability with a consistent team from concept through completion.
A lower total cost – more real-time visibility, less change orders, long-term savings.
The efficiencies of the design build process save 100’s of hours across many disciplines.
Lower risk, higher reward owner and end-user experience
Change and change management are difficult. Technological change can be intimidating
to user groups and individuals, especially in today’s current environment
where workspaces and classrooms are changing.
The IMS design/build experience, from discovery through implementation
and support, is focused on how your users communicate now and how they
will communicate in the future using new technology for both in-person
and virtual collaboration.
Your AV project is not simply a collection of equipment that connects to
other equipment. We know that your AV project connects people to other
people to foster productivity, collaboration, and innovation in your business.
Our model is built around humanizing the technology and the Day 1 experience,
which keeps your people and their needs top of mind and involved at every
step of the project.
“The value of Design/Build as a model for our AV system investments is driven by processes IMS has established at every point of a project. We’ve lived through many AV projects, multiple vendors and consultants who over-engineer, then pass it out to 3 companies that end-up failing at some aspect of the project ... and we end up paying for that in actual dollars or re-work or lost productivity with system downtime. Not anymore. Not since 2014 when we first experienced the IMS design-build approach.”
