Your Division 27 & 28 Consultant
Commercial low-voltage, communications, and electronic security design consulting for architects and design firms across West Texas. We sit at your table from schematic design through construction administration.
A Seat at the Table
The Low-Voltage Consultant You Don't Have
Most commercial projects in West Texas don't have a dedicated Division 27/28 consultant. The telecom and security specs get copy-pasted from the last project, or left to the GC to figure out during construction. Then you end up with too few data drops in the open office, an MDF that's half the size it needs to be, cameras without power, and Wi-Fi that dies the moment someone walks into a corner conference room.
We sit on your design team as the low-voltage consultant. We write the Division 27 and Division 28 specs, we coordinate with your MEP team, we produce the T-series sheets, and we stay engaged through CA. Your owner gets a building where the technology actually works — and you get a closeout that doesn't include a stack of RFIs about things that should have been in the original scope.
We're based in Lubbock and work with architects on projects across West Texas. Licensed (TDPS #B31108601), SDVOSB, HUB certified, and owned by a Marine veteran with real network engineering chops.
We Speak Your Language
CDs, SD, DD, RFIs, submittals, CA, MEP coordination, CSI MasterFormat. We live in the AEC world — not a sales bubble.
Engaged at SD, Not After CDs
The best time to bring us in is during schematic design. The worst time is after your 90% CD review.
Design-Only or Design-Build
We can hand our design off to a competitive bid, or we can build what we designed. Whatever makes sense for your client.
Revit and CAD Compatible
We deliver drawings in the format your sheet set uses. Titleblock, layering, and standards matched to your office.
Consulting Scope
What We Do for Architects
From first napkin sketch through commissioning and closeout. Wherever you are in the design process, we can plug in.
Schematic Design Phase
We help you scope telecom and security work from day one. MDF/IDF space requirements, early pathway sizing, roof penetrations for antennas and cameras, power at security devices — all the coordination items that get expensive when they're caught late.
Design Development
Rough pathway plans, device location layouts, camera placement strategy, and access point planning based on RCP coordination. We work off your DD set and hand back markups that slot cleanly into your sheet progression.
Construction Documents
Full CSI-format Division 27 and Division 28 specifications. Low-voltage drawings on T-series sheets, pathway and conduit plans, device schedules, and equipment cut sheets. Ready to bid, ready to build.
Predictive Wi-Fi Heat Maps
Ekahau Pro and iBwave Design predictive surveys generated from your floor plans. Show your client what Wi-Fi coverage actually looks like before construction — not after they complain about dead spots in the corner office.
Camera Coverage Diagrams
Field-of-view overlays for every camera showing actual coverage zones, blind spots, and pixel density on target. No more guessing whether the parking lot is covered. No more change orders for cameras that should have been in the original scope.
MEP Coordination
We sit in on your MEP meetings and work directly with your electrical engineer. Power drops at device locations, dedicated circuits for the MDF, UPS and generator tie-ins, PoE budgets, and heat load calcs for telecom rooms.
Construction Administration
Shop drawing review, RFI responses, submittal review, site visits, and punch list. We stay on the project through CA so the design gets built the way it was drawn — not reinterpreted by whoever won the low-voltage bid.
Project Closeout
As-built drawings, O&M manuals, end-user training, and warranty documentation. Your client walks away with a complete record of what was installed and how to maintain it — and you walk away with a clean closeout.

Process
How We Work With Architects
A clean engagement from day one through closeout. We match your phase structure and your drawing standards.
Early Engagement
We come in at SD or early DD — not after CDs are 90% done and you're trying to back-fill a Division 27 spec. Early engagement is where we add the most value and save your client the most money.
Joint Coordination
We sit in on your MEP coordination meetings. We review the architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical sets alongside your other consultants and flag conflicts before they become RFIs in the field.
Spec Writing
We write CSI MasterFormat-compliant Division 27 and Division 28 specifications tailored to your project — not copy-pasted boilerplate. Part 1 general, Part 2 products, Part 3 execution, written to the level of detail your project needs.
Drawing Production
We deliver CAD or Revit-compatible drawings that plug directly into your sheet set. T-series low-voltage sheets with device plans, pathway plans, riser diagrams, schedules, and details. Your titleblock, your standards.
CA Support
We stay engaged through construction administration. Submittal review, RFI responses, shop drawing markups, site observation visits, and punch list. Our design isn't finished until it's been built and verified in the field.
Commissioning
We test, document, and hand off. Every cable Fluke-certified, every camera view verified, every door reader tested, every access point walked for coverage. Your client gets a system that works on day one — and the paperwork to prove it.
Differentiators
Why Architects Call Us
There aren't many low-voltage consultants in West Texas who can do what we do. Here's what sets us apart.
Local to West Texas
You don't need to fly a consultant in from Dallas or Houston. We're 30 minutes away from most of your projects — same-day site visits, in-person coordination meetings, and we speak the local subcontractor market.
Design + Build Capability
We can design the project and hand it off to a bidding low-voltage contractor, or we can design and build it ourselves. Your choice, your client's choice. Either way, the owner gets continuity from design through commissioning.
TDPS Licensed
Texas law requires a Department of Public Safety license for any security camera or access control work. Most low-voltage guys don't have one. We do — License #B31108601. That matters for both design review and installation.
Real Engineering Tools
Ekahau Pro and iBwave Design for predictive Wi-Fi modeling. AutoCAD and Revit for drawing production. Proper RF engineering, proper camera FOV calculations, proper pathway sizing. Not sketches on a napkin.
Veteran-Owned / SDVOSB / HUB
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and Texas HUB certified. When you're working with public-sector or federal clients, bringing us onto the design team helps hit participation goals without any extra effort on your end.
No Conflict of Interest
We design vendor-neutral. We're not locked into one camera manufacturer or one cable brand. We spec what's right for the project — and if your client has a preferred vendor, we'll work with it instead of around it.
Project Types
Who This Works For
If your project has network cable, cameras, access control, or Wi-Fi in the program — we can help design it.
Let's Collaborate
Bring Us Onto Your Design Team
Whether you're at programming, SD, or staring down a CD deadline with no Division 27 spec — reach out. We'll set up a call, review the project, and talk through how we'd fit in.
