Asked on site, answered here.
Notes from the work - the questions venues, schools and institutions actually ask us, answered plainly. No trends, no listicles: just what we have learned in the rooms.
What is pre-commissioning - and why demand it?
There are two meanings of "it works": powered on at site, or proven before it left the workshop. Only one of them protects your programme.
Read the note → / consulting / / 16 july 2026 /What does an audiovisual consultant actually do?
Briefs, budgets, schematics and tender documentation - the design side of the table, and why the drawings are the promise.
Read the note → / hospitality / / 13 july 2026 /What makes venue AV survive Saturday night?
Capacity, midnight, bar three deep - the real specification for hospitality systems. Design for the crew you actually have, and build rooms that can be serviced without closing.
Read the note → / support / / 13 july 2026 /What should an AV support agreement actually cover?
A warranty covers the box, not the room. What belongs in a support agreement, who should hold it, and the questions that expose a thin one.
Read the note → / government / / 13 july 2026 /What does a council chamber upgrade actually involve?
Speech every seat can hear, feeds for the public record, control that governance staff can run - and why standardising across the estate is the larger win.
Read the note → / theatre & education / / 13 july 2026 /How do you get a school auditorium right?
Plan the theatre before the technology, design to the state guidelines, and build for the teacher on duty - lessons from Perth Modern, Bob Hawke College and Warwick SHS.
Read the note → / venues & theatres / / 13 july 2026 /What ages first in a community theatre?
Lighting, audio or control - what wears out first in a venue that opened in 1990, what renewal covers, and what to ask for before you sign.
Read the note → / culture & government / / 13 july 2026 /What keeps an immersive exhibit running?
Immersive galleries are operational systems, not installations. The disciplines that keep them running - documentation, spares thinking and service access designed in.
