Every great network starts with understanding the site.
We visit your premises, map every room and cable route, interview your stakeholders, and produce a signed-off requirements document before a single design decision is made. No assumptions. No surprises.
Everything captured before design begins.
Our site survey and requirements gathering process covers every physical, technical, and business requirement your network needs to meet.
Physical Premises Mapping
We walk every floor, room, and external area of your premises. Cable routes, riser locations, and physical constraints are all captured before any design work begins.
User Count and Location Analysis
Understanding where your people work, how many devices they use, and how they move around your building. Accurate user data drives accurate network design.
Application and Bandwidth Requirements
We identify every application your business relies on, its bandwidth demands, and latency sensitivity. VoIP, video conferencing, cloud platforms, and line-of-business systems all captured.
Existing Infrastructure Audit
A full audit of your current network infrastructure. What is working, what is not, what can be retained, and what needs replacing. No assumptions made.
Growth and Change Planning
We capture your 3 to 5 year growth plans, upcoming office moves, headcount changes, and new technology requirements. Your network is designed for where you are going, not just where you are.
Requirements Documentation
Everything captured in a formal requirements document, signed off by your team before design begins. No ambiguity, no assumptions, no surprises when the design is delivered.
From first call to signed-off requirements.
Initial Discovery Call
We start with a structured discovery call to understand your business, your current challenges, and your objectives. This shapes the survey agenda and ensures we ask the right questions on site.
Physical Site Survey
Our engineers visit your premises and conduct a thorough physical survey. Every room, floor, riser, and external area is mapped. Cable routes and physical constraints are documented.
Stakeholder Interviews
We speak with IT staff, department heads, and end users to understand application requirements, pain points, and future plans. The people who use the network know what it needs to do.
Requirements Documentation
All findings are compiled into a formal requirements document covering physical, technical, and business requirements. This document is reviewed and signed off before any design work begins.
Design Brief Production
The signed-off requirements document is translated into a design brief that guides every decision in the network design phase. Nothing is left to interpretation.
Handover to Design Team
The design brief is handed to our network architects with a full briefing. The survey engineer remains available throughout the design phase to answer questions and clarify requirements.
How we have helped UK businesses.
Multi-Floor Office Expansion
A Manchester professional services firm was taking on two additional floors in their building and needed a network survey before the fit-out began.
Full survey completed in one day. Requirements document produced and signed off within 48 hours. Network design delivered before the fit-out contractor started work.
Legacy Network Replacement
A Leeds manufacturer had a network built up over 12 years with no documentation. They needed a full audit before any redesign could begin.
Complete infrastructure audit produced. Every device, cable run, and VLAN documented. Requirements for the replacement network captured and agreed before design began.
New Site Build
A Birmingham logistics company was building a new warehouse and distribution centre and needed network requirements captured at the construction stage.
Survey conducted during construction phase. Cable routes and comms room locations agreed with the building contractor. Network installed to specification on handover day.
