Engineering & Design

• FUN Facts! - ENGINEERING & DESIGN was greatly influenced by Leonardo Da Vinci… Regarded as a "Renaissance Man” and one of the World’s first Design Engineers.

Engineering & Design

FUN Facts; Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) lived in Italy for 67 years during the mid-1400s, in a time far before electricity, and 100 years before Galileo had worked out measuring time. Da Vinci is best known as the artist who created the "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper," but he was also a self-taught Design Engineer.

His artistic talents enabled him to record his mechanical ideas in his notebooks with enough clarity and detail in his sketches that blueprints for working models could be created, leading to many modern-day innovations today.

Leonardo Da Vinci was the first true "Systems Integration Engineer.

Da Vinci is regarded as the quintessential "Renaissance Man", displaying skills in numerous diverse areas of study. He made significant contributions to art, architecture, science, anatomy, and engineering, producing thousands of concepts that addressed the challenges of mankind and creating a new attitude about understanding how machines worked together, with both theoretical inventions and working models.

Master Video is a multidisciplinary systems integration firm providing Engineering and Design services in three distinct areas;

• IPTV / Digital Signage
• Audio-Visual Systems
• Electronic Security

Pre-Construction Planning

Master Video Pre-Construction Planning

• FUN Facts! - PRE-CONSTRUCTION PLANNING errors can lead to costly construction mistakes… People don’t plan to fail; they simply fail to plan!

Pre-Construction Planning

FUN Facts; As the old adage goes... “People don’t Plan to Fail; they simply Fail to Plan!” For any successful construction project, the first, and most critical step is Pre-Construction Planning, which must be completed prior to any physical on-site construction activities.

Pre-Construction Planning is a very important preliminary process that’s performed long before any work boots actually step foot on the job site.

Pre-Construction Planning Maximizes Success

The goal is to understand the full scope of a project and its requirements, long before the actual construction begins. Without proper planning, a build can quickly fall into disarray as a result of miscommunication, delays, or unforeseen problems.

Better Forethought... Better Project Outcomes

Construction Phases

A construction project consists of a series of events or tasks that must be completed over time.

• Pre-Construction Phase
The pre-construction phase includes creating a strategic plan, finalizing the design, providing the labor and resources required.

• Construction Phase
The construction project lasts from the moment physical construction begins on-site until the completion of the on-site build.

• Post-Construction Phase
After construction, systems documentation and training are provided, with continuing support services and ongoing maintenance.

Master Video’s Pre-Construction Planning process is vital to the success of the entire project. Pre-Construction Planning checklists include every possible scenario and contingency that the team may encounter during a project, resulting in higher-quality work that meets the requirements of a project, including budget, time, and resources.

Master Video Pre-Construction Planning Blueprint
We have over 60 years of hands-on experience in Television, Audio-Visual, and Security systems, specializing in Healthcare and Hospitals, Hospitality and Lodging, Event Centers and Entertainment Venues, Schools and Universities, Corporate and Commercial facilities, and various other markets.

In our preliminary engineering and planning stage, we define the scope of the project, conduct needs analysis, identify any potential issues, provide cost estimates, schedule and plan related construction, and provide Project Management for each job.

The old adage, ‘Measure Twice and Cut Once,’ has never been so true with Pre-Construction Planning. We double-check our measurements and specs for accuracy long before the construction, installation, and implementation process begins.

Measure Twice Cut Once

Pre-Construction Benefits:

• Shared Vision; everyone involved is on the same page.
• Feasibility Assessment; ensures it gets done within scope.
• Budgetary Boundaries; cost estimating avoids unforeseen costs.
• Team Communication; sets groundwork for a successful project.
• Efficiency Increases; anticipates and avoids potential delays.
• Problem Prevention; drastically limits missteps and overruns.
• Improved Satisfaction; planning correlates to higher satisfaction.

A Big-Picture Way to Maximize Time & Save Money

Master Video’s Pre-Construction Planning helps maximize success by providing a clear path through complex challenges. We combine strategic thinking and innovative insights with a practical approach to deliver outstanding AV and UC services and reliable performance, on-time, and on budget.
