ESTIMATING

The A/V Estimating Team performs basic bid reviews, plan and spec estimates, and complete design-build bids. All
quotes are done in Accubid with a full material list, labor hours by item, estimated engineering and programming costs,
and are identified through standard Rosendin task codes. The Estimating Team can produce full proposals with project
profiles, references, and internal team resumes as a complete package or incorporate them into an overall proposal.

A/V ENGINEERING
Engineering is one of the most misunderstood, complex, and time-consuming parts of technology
By Tim Knittel, Business Development Manager systems. The A/V Engineering team helps to make this process simple, predictable, and painless by
providing standard engineering packages that include complete material BOM, project specifications,
device plans, cabling diagrams, schematics, and connection and mounting details.

PROCUREMENT

Procurement of any A/V and related products has many challenges. There is a good chance the A/V Group can find
the best price and availability because they have established direct dealerships with many major manufacturers
and access through all major distributors. A significant asset of the Group is they are familiar with all the “Gotchas!”
which can include the required accessories to make it work, correct back boxes, mounting brackets, color options,
cables, converters, and more. Much like complex lighting fixtures, there are a million little parts with millions of
little options. Having the right team to ensure the correct parts are ordered is critical to a successful project.

PREFABRICATION

The Prefabrication team in Rosendin’s Anaheim office can handle the build-out of equipment
racks and assemblies for any A/V project, kit rooms, repacking of materials, and pre-installation
validation and testing. The team can manage the logistics of it all, so you don’t have to.
