Netechture provides Construction Technology Management services for highly available technology facilities such data and call centers, office space, network operations centers and school systems.

At Netechture, we provide construction management and tenant representative services beyond those provided by architectural, engineering or general contractors. Our designs and implementations are tailored to our clients' technology initiatives. Our team manages projects, regardless of size or project phase and we work closely with both the client and all vendors to ensure that the design is built to specifications. This can greatly reduce the need for change orders, delays or other problematic issues.

1. During the Program Development Phase: We work with you and your end-users to fully understand your current and future development needs for a fully functional facility. During this phase, we will complete planning by covering all technology, security, business operations, employee needs and compliance concerns to meet specifications of a fully fitted-out facility before construction starts. This planning step can potentially save millions of dollars in change orders, schedule delays and help avoid post-construction modifications.
2. During the Design Phase: We work in step with the selected architectural and engineering firms to confirm the documents issued for construction. We carefully analyze the designs to ensure that the facility will supply the appropriate power, HVAC, physical space and cabling requirements. If needed, we provide proposals and requests for quote services including initial assessment, issuance, collection, evaluation, selection assistance and abatement.
   
   Our proven methods guarantee that all of your needs for supporting technology are incorporated into the construction documents used by general contractors to implement construction. These include:
   1. Electrical, HVAC and cabling to meet current technology demands with future growth in mind
   2. Electrical and physical layouts of lobbies, common areas and shared office equipment to meet current and future technology needs
   3. Electrical and wiring for current, planned and future wireless implementations
   4. Physical security
   5. Technology space design and layout requirements
   6. Office area and workstation configuration including power and cooling requirements
   7. Cabling requirements including redundancy failover design
   8. Definition and development of technology needs assessment, specific to the new facility
   9. Definition of:
      1. Infrastructure requirements such as switches, servers and data center layout
      2. Application requirements, networks and interfaces
      3. Telecommunication requirements such as PBX, VoIP and redundancy
      4. Audio/visual requirements that are consistent with the needs of the business and functional area
      5. End-user needs appropriate for the facility, including desktop needs such as PC requirements, networked printers, printing stations and additional software necessities
   10. Development of a technology facility plan document which will be utilized to ensure that all technology needs are incorporated within the design and accounted for during the construction and fit-out.
3. During the Construction Phase: Netechture will be your single point of contact, monitoring every aspect of the construction and technology integration. This phase can greatly reduce the need for change orders, costly network and schedule delays by managing:
   • Construction activities and by participating in construction meetings
   • Cable installation and testing
   • Interdisciplinary conflicts or issues
   • Technology components and logging issues of interest
4. During the Fit-Out Phase, we ensure all end-user requirements are met according to the technology plan by:
   • Monitoring and addressing implementation of specific technology needs
   • Managing technology installation equipment requirements, planning and implementing all telecommunications, physical security and audio/visual of the facility
   • Managing procurement of technology items
   • Coordinating delivery, tag, inventory and tracking all equipment
   • Deploying all PCs, telephones, office equipment and other hardware to appropriate locations
   • Monitoring cross-connecting network switches, telephone and workstation equipment including labeling, as needed
   • Reviewing installation test plans and regression tests
   • Performing regression test to verify functionality of all technology components, as well as corresponding technologies
   • Developing employee packets for move-in day that outline office policies, telephone directory, desktop log-in and computer functions
   • Providing on-site IT assistance to all users
   • Developing a disaster recovery and business continuity plan
