Scoping and Planning

The first step in any project plan is to determine your communications needs.  What is the current configuration of the network?  Is this an extension of an existing network?  What are the equipment requirements?  Is up-to-date documentation available?  The design should at least meet the current needs of the client, with measures for future expansion built in. 

Design

The physical  design process begins with a thorough construction review.  All building conditions (cable path, fire walls, risers, plant standards, etc.) are reviewed during this process.  This information is included in the specification and T-Series drawing package.  The project budget depends on accurate and complete information being delivered to the installation contractor. After gathering the site-specific information, specifications are written to ensure the needs assessment are met.

A complete bill of materials insures compliance with the manufacturer’s specifications for the equipment being used.  It also guarantees product uniformity throughout the site.  Network performance can suffer if the installers are left to determine which faceplates, patch panels, wiring etc. are to be used.

As-built documentation is an important tool in the maintenance of any network.  The time saved in troubleshooting network problems make accurate documentation a wise investment.  In addition to troubleshooting, the information contained in the as-builts will aid in the design of future expansion of the network.  Costly miscalculations can be avoided with the use of this detailed information.
