AV Upgrades designs unique projects that are centered on our clients’ mission and style. Based in Winston-Salem, NC, we provide church AVL design services to the triad area and beyond.
The process always begins with an in-depth consultation. Each project is engineered from the ground up, based on an extensive conversation about your vision as well as your practical requirements. In doing so, our aim is to find a balance between the two, with a system that fulfills all your needs while remaining realistic from a technological and financial standpoint.
AV Upgrades designs in a team oriented manner allowing multiple design opinions and perspectives to be introduced from the beginning of the process. No project is a one size fits all design. We have found that this approach works well for projects with many decisions that need to be made and many sub-budgets. We refer to this as our designs/spec/build approach. This approach involves two contracts. One contract to design, and one contract for installation services.
Our design process starts with a thorough investigation of current constraints. This allows us to expose the current guidelines for the design. The project is then driven by what is appropriate for the needs of the space and the client. AV Upgrades provides each House of Worship client with a list of questions which help guide the intent and purpose of the design. From there, a visit of the space is conducted and measurements are gathered to allow our designers to get accurate design/build budget numbers and to start the conceptual design phase. Our conceptual design phase is through to allow for Church leaders to make decisions choices before moving forward with any design documentation. Once a concept is determined, a the Design Documentation phase can begin.
AV Upgrades delivers high quality design documentary which typically includes the following:
We provide design/build solutions for all sizes of projects. These projects are designed under a unified contract which includes a design package prior to the installation of the systems. Our design/build process allows the client to be very involved in design decisions and allows the creation of a completed proposal and budget earlier in the design process.
Church AVL design is a growing field that addresses the need for more immersive worship experiences. AV Upgrades can put together a package of equipment and solutions that includes:
