Design Development

Technologists turn schematic designs into detailed drawings to fully define audiovisual systems.

A person interacts with a large touchscreen displaying a complex technical schematic or digital blueprint. The diagram features a detailed network of interconnected components possibly representing an architectural layout, circuit design or system flowchart. The setting appears to be a modern office or design studio with natural lighting and a focused professional atmosphere.

Translating concepts into detailed designs for audiovisual solutions.

During Design Development, our team refines your audiovisual (AV) schematic design to create a fully coordinated technical package ready for engineering. Experienced designers collaborate with your team to confirm requirements, then prepare comprehensive technical narratives, precise location plans and elevations, signal flow diagrams, a Bill of Materials and detailed Statement of Work.

An expert, quality-led design process for planning AV system installation.

Electrosonic’s skilled designers bring deep AV systems expertise and experience of highly complex installations. Using proven methodologies and rigorous quality processes, our team develops holistic plans that ensure efficient, seamless installation, manages risk and eliminates potential coordination issues at the Build stage.

Technical Narrative

We describe how the AV solution will work and define the criteria for system operation and performance. This helps align stakeholder expectations and ensures clarity for installation teams.

Single-Line Diagrams & Statement of Work

Our designers prepare single-line diagrams illustrating signal-flow between devices at the port level. A Statement of Work details installation tasks and responsibilities, ensuring installers understand their tasks and sequence of work.

Equipment Schedules & Bill of Materials

Our teams provide equipment schedules and a comprehensive Bill of Materials covering manufacturer and model details for all components. This enables accurate procurement and stronger cost control.

Plans & Elevations

Skilled designers prepare floor and ceiling plans, elevations and detail sketches that specify AV equipment locations, power, control and cooling requirements. This helps eliminate potential coordination conflicts in subsequent phases.
“There are very few companies who have the technical expertise and experience to be able to design, install and maintain such a sophisticated and immersive audio visual experience that involves synchronised systems. For the National Trust of Scotland this has been a very adventurous project and we’ve really relied on the expertise of Electrosonic to deliver it and I testify to the quality of the service provided.”
