NoDa Mixed Use Development
New Mixed-Use Development in Charlotte Is a Step Ahead Thanks to Integrated Low Voltage Design.
When Avery Hall was looking for a technology designer for its latest 7-story, 383-unit mixed-use development in the NoDa district in Charlotte, they chose the region’s leading multifamily and mixed-use designer, Vertex Technology Consultants.
Why Engage a Low-Voltage Consultant?
Why choose Vertex Technology Consultants? They are one of a very select group nationally, that specializes in a holistic consulting and design approach with a vertical focus on multi-family and mixed use. Their overall construction experience makes the Vertex staff a trusted resource for any sized project.
Vertex’s designers bring a practical sense to each project. Their team has members that have been end-users, manufacturers, contractors, designers, and consultants. They have seen each project from every angle and bring that same 360-degree approach to each engagement. This ensures these technology systems are not orphaned during the design and construction process.
Subject Matter Experts
Designing technology, audiovisual and security in a mixed-use and multifamily environment requires the designer to bring to the table technical expertise and to wear a lot of hats. The designer must be a subject matter expert with door hardware and security technology, the myriad of carrier solutions that provide Internet for both the property amenity spaces and for the tenants as well as the latest audiovisual systems for amenity spaces including entertainment zones, fitness, and pool features. Most importantly, the designer must be able to work with the architectural and MEP team to fully coordinate the low voltage systems into the construction documents.
Vertex immediately jumped in and collaborated with the owner and architect to provide a state-of-the-art infrastructure and distribution system, plans for technology and security in the amenity spaces as well as the retail space.
Working in a BIM environment and using software that integrates directly into the architectural model, Vertex was able to quickly and precisely design systems that were both cost effective and efficient to address the owner’s vision for the property.
Trusted Partner
Vertex created a complete design of the low voltage systems for the project as well as released a full set of division specifications for the different contractors to bid on. Additionally, Vertex coordinated the underground and site requirements with the general contractor to ensure that the Internet service providers were able to deliver connectivity to the property. Beyond just the design process, Vertex Technology Consultants assisted the owner with reviews of the Internet service provider’s proposals, contractors bid response documents and submittal review as well as overall construction administration.
