Design Team Augmentation
Confidential technology and security design capacity for firms that need another experienced designer behind the scenes.
ApexCDM plugs into your project team for structured cabling, audiovisual, access control, video surveillance, and intrusion detection work. Your firm remains client-facing while we support design, documentation, coordination, and review under your direction.
We work in the background under your direction, standards, and delivery process.
Use ApexCDM for one deliverable, one discipline, or a complete design scope.
Add capability without changing the client relationship.
ApexCDM can support engineering firms, architecture firms, technology and security consultants, and specialty designers — including firms that normally perform this work internally. We integrate as additional project capacity, not as a replacement for your client relationship.
Work can follow your templates, standards, review process, naming conventions, and appropriate nondisclosure requirements.
Bring us in for a deadline, missing discipline, specific deliverable, schedule recovery, or ongoing production support.
Use ApexCDM for production, technical direction, design review, coordination, documentation, and system-specific consulting.
Technology + security expertise your team can plug into.
Support can be limited to production assistance or extend through system planning, design development, documentation, coordination, specifications, and quality review.
Structured Cabling
Copper and fiber infrastructure, pathways, telecommunications rooms, device connectivity, schedules, details, and specifications.
Audiovisual
Audiovisual system planning, room technology layouts, equipment coordination, connectivity, infrastructure, details, schedules, and specifications.
Access Control
Controlled-door layouts, reader locations, hardware coordination, system architecture, schedules, details, and specifications.
Video Surveillance
Camera layouts, coverage planning, system architecture, recording and storage coordination, network requirements, schedules, and specifications.
Intrusion Detection
Sensor layouts, alarm zoning, system architecture, monitoring requirements, integration, details, schedules, and specifications.
Extra capacity for real project pressure.
The engagement can be short and targeted or become a repeatable extension of your delivery team across multiple projects.
Add production capacity when active projects, pursuits, or compressed deadlines exceed internal bandwidth.
Add technology or security expertise when a required discipline is not available internally for a specific project.
Assign focused design and documentation work to help a delayed package regain momentum.
Establish repeatable background support for firms with recurring technology or security production needs.
One task or the complete design package.
The assignment does not have to begin at schematic design. ApexCDM can enter where the project needs help and work within the documentation standards already established by your team.
Drawing revisions, comment incorporation, and targeted production support.
System-specific plans, locations, coverage, and project coordination.
System architecture diagrams, risers, typical details, and schedules.
Project requirements and specifications aligned with the design intent.
Independent review, coordination comments, and issue identification.
Complete assigned discipline documentation from design development through bid documents.
Your process. Additional ApexCDM capacity.
The goal is not to force a new workflow onto your team. We adapt to the project structure already in place.
Confirm scope, schedule, systems, level of effort, standards, and required deliverables.
Receive project files, templates, backgrounds, standards, references, and team direction.
Complete assigned design, documentation, coordination, review, and consulting work.
Work through comments with your team and issue the approved deliverables back into your process.
Your firm can remain the client-facing consultant while ApexCDM provides background design and production capacity under the engagement structure you establish.
