What is the first step in conducting a technical site survey?

The first step in conducting a technical site survey is to review the drawings with the AV designer. This step is crucial because it allows the team to understand the layout and specifications of the space before physically inspecting it. Reviewing the drawings helps identify potential issues, clarifies the scope of work, and ensures that all parties have a shared understanding of the project requirements. It sets a solid foundation for subsequent steps, such as inspecting the installation area or evaluating the power supply, by providing context about the intended equipment placement and functionality.

This initial collaboration with the AV designer can also highlight any discrepancies between the design and actual site conditions, allowing for adjustments in planning before any physical survey actions take place. Gathering insights from the drawings helps to optimize the installation process and leads to more effective communication among the team members involved in the project.
