What we deliver.
Criterion designs and builds integrated audio, video, and network environments for facilities where the technology must work as reliably as the building systems it serves. Each phase produces a defined deliverable — not a progress update.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Complete AV and network system design issued before installation begins. This includes equipment schedules, signal flow documentation, rack elevations, and cable schedules — reviewed against the project's architectural, electrical, and IT drawings. The design phase is a paid engagement. It defines the system. Everything downstream executes against it.
STRUCTURED CABLING & LOW-VOLTAGE INFRASTRUCTURE
Cable pathways, rack builds, network topology, and signal distribution — labeled, tested, and documented to industry standards. Infrastructure is designed for the building's full lifecycle, not just the first tenant or use case.
AV & CONTROL INTEGRATION
Deployment and configuration of audio, video, DSP, and control platforms — Crestron, Biamp, Shure, Panasonic, and comparable professional-grade systems. Programming is structured and annotated so the next technician can read it, not just the one who wrote it.
COMMISSIONING & DOCUMENTATION
Every system is calibrated, verified against the design intent, and delivered with as-built documentation: signal flow diagrams, IP schedules, labeled photography, and configuration records. The goal is a system that can be understood, maintained, and supported by anyone qualified — not just the firm that installed it.
DESIGN COORDINATION
AV integration requirements are defined during early design phases and coordinated across architectural, electrical, mechanical, and IT disciplines. Spatial planning, power allocation, and network architecture are aligned with system intent before construction begins — because most integration failures originate in coordination gaps, not equipment failures.
