A network designed properly from the ground up.
Most network problems are design problems. We survey your site, understand your requirements, and produce a full network blueprint before a single cable is specified. Built for performance, security, and the next five years.
Every element of a properly designed network.
Our network design service covers everything from the initial site survey to the final as-built documentation. Nothing is left to chance.
Site Survey and Requirements Gathering
Physical site survey to understand your premises, user locations, and connectivity requirements. We map every room, floor, and external area before a single cable is specified.
Detailed Network Blueprint
Full network design documentation including logical diagrams, physical layouts, IP addressing schemes, VLAN design, and equipment specifications. A complete blueprint before any work begins.
Security-First Architecture
Network segmentation, VLAN isolation, and zero-trust principles built into the design from day one. Not bolted on afterwards. Your network is secure by design.
Scalability and Future-Proofing
Designed to grow with your business. Spare capacity, modular architecture, and technology choices that will not need replacing in 3 years. Built to last.
Resilience and Redundancy
Redundant uplinks, failover paths, and high-availability configurations for business-critical environments. Single points of failure identified and eliminated.
Vendor-Neutral Specification
We specify the right equipment for your requirements and budget, not the brand we have a margin incentive to sell. Cisco, Meraki, Ubiquiti, Aruba, and more.
From survey to live network with full documentation.
Discovery and Site Survey
We visit your premises, understand your business requirements, and survey the physical environment. User counts, application requirements, and growth plans all captured.
Design and Documentation
Full network design produced including logical diagrams, physical layouts, equipment bill of materials, and IP addressing scheme. Reviewed and signed off before procurement.
Procurement and Deployment
Equipment procured, configured, and deployed to the design specification. Structured cabling, switching, routing, and wireless all installed by our Lancashire engineers.
Testing, Handover and Support
Full network testing against the design specification. As-built documentation produced. Ongoing monitoring and management available from our Lancashire support team.
How we have helped Lancashire businesses.
New Office Build-Out
A Preston professional services firm was fitting out a new 3-floor office and needed a network designed and installed before their lease start date.
Full network design produced in 5 days. Equipment installed and tested 2 weeks before move-in. Staff connected on day one with zero issues.
Legacy Network Replacement
A Burnley manufacturer had a network built up over 15 years with no documentation, multiple consumer-grade devices, and regular unexplained outages.
Full network audit and redesign completed. New structured, documented network deployed over a weekend. Zero unplanned outages in the 12 months following.
Multi-Site Standardisation
A Lancashire retailer with 5 sites had completely different network configurations at each location, making support and troubleshooting extremely difficult.
Standardised network design deployed across all 5 sites. Centralised management implemented. Support time reduced by 60%. PCI DSS compliance achieved.
