Low Voltage Design in Progressive Design Build Projects
Progressive Design-Build (PDB) is transforming commercial construction by prioritizing team qualifications over low bids and engaging build partners early in design. Unlike traditional methods, PDB establishes costs in two phases, finalizing a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) only after 100% design completion to significantly reduce project risk, change orders, and redesigns.
As a dedicated low-voltage design firm backed by implementation partner ASD, Inc., NTI delivers end-to-end expertise across structured cabling, security, AV, and Wi-Fi systems—offering seamless design-to-build continuity and cost certainty for modern developments.
Brightview Northfax
For Brightview Northfax—a premium 7-story, 200-unit senior living community in Fairfax, VA—NTI designed and engineered a comprehensive, standard-compliant low-voltage infrastructure. NTI delivered a robust copper and fiber backbone for seamless, property-wide Wi-Fi and critical health operations (EHR), alongside an integrated security suite featuring e-call systems, wander management, and strategic CCTV coverage. From initial planning through construction administration, NTI ensured a secure, high-performance environment built to scale with future healthcare technology.
Future Proof for Rapidly Evolving Technologies
Future-proofing involves becoming "future ready" by leveraging expert technology consultants. By establishing a robust, standards-based IT cabling infrastructure, optimizing network equipment, and conducting cost-benefit analyses, organizations can adapt to evolving bandwidth demands while balancing total cost of ownership.
