AcousticIntegration Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 Some common question that homeowners face during renovation - How best can I plan my cabling? How should I build my integrated furniture? How to avoid rattling noises during loud playback? How to get good acoustics while not needing additional panelling? How to ensure all the planned work is problem-free? How to minimize unnecessary cost while getting all the work done? We are planning a free seminar on the following weekend (20-22 Dec) to help anyone who has the above concerns. Interested parties can PM me or post here to register your interest and preferred timing.

Actually just to add a note to this area - Usually it's best to start with first the ID level and then work with the M&E contractor to lay the cables and power point provision. Try to get an ID with working knowledge of AV or a proper AV contractor involve from the start for the best budgetary quote. If it's a landed property, then architect. There are many horror stories that I've heard from old birds in the industry of people trying to save cost - and try to DIY everything but have no clue on doing the proper planning and project management. In the end all the wiring is wrong, all the points can't work as it should - usually for this kind of job, they won't give you warranty period to rectify the problems - so once hand over and T&C, you'll start to cry. So in short, pay a professional to do it but also verify closely if the professional can do proper consultation and not "CON"sultion. Always seek 2-3 opinion to get a better idea. If you want a good contractor - you can look for ARC audio - very old bird in the industry. I don't work for them.
AcousticIntegration Posted December 20, 2013 Author Posted December 20, 2013 Due to scheduling considerations and also to maximize the productivity of the session, we are combining both sessions into 2pm, followed by an extended open discussion time This way, any issues being raised can be addressed to the whole group without having to be concerned to clear the space for the next session. I have sent PM to those previously scheduled for 5pm and do let me know if unable to make it.
AcousticIntegration Posted December 22, 2013 Author Posted December 22, 2013 Thanks to everyone that attended, I hope you all found all the information provided beneficial. For those unable to attend, here is the summary of some key points which we found the guys were most interested in: 1. Prepare yourself familiarizing yourself with various themes and designs 2. Be well versed with the range of building materials and accessories available locally 3. Do make sure to check the work specified during your renovation, especially electrical outlets and false ceilings. Mark the route for cabling to be run so that you can be sure that indeed it has been done so accordingly. Do an inspection before anything is completely sealed up 4. Don't save the 10% on contractors by buying materials directly yourself, only to spend it on unnecessary things that make the situation worse. 5. Treat the workers with respect and they will be more willing to listen to you and do a good job. Coming up we will be planning a session where we can do a live comparison between various materials and also comparing a dedicated vs non-dedicated lines! Also, do feel free to let us know if there are any topics which you would like us to cover in the future.
