Our Design Approach

Practical, Methodical, User-Focused Technology Solutions

Following the consultation phase of a project, CDA design teams collaborate to fully grasp each client’s unique functional requirements so they can engineer technology solutions that meet the needs and goals of the space, form and function. We take a fully collaborative and methodical approach to address Stakeholder needs, understand existing standards, recommend logical technologies, and engage future proof design approaches. We specialize in many design disciplines as well as facility and system types, including the following:

Audio, Video, Data, Security, Lighting, Acoustics

  • Production / Broadcast system design
  • Corporate & Educational Campus’
  • Videoconferencing solutions
  • Digital Communications & Signage

CDA Engineering

Thorough Schematic Design and Architectural Detailing

We conduct our Design and Engineering processes in sync with AIA project standards and follow a comprehensive system for all activities, from initial conceptualization through the time when we produce Construction Documents.

Throughout each phase, we coordinate and refine technology requirements with the project architect, engineers, and facilities personnel, such as power, heat loads, conduits, and equipment placement. We also review energy consumption and advise where the systems can be optimized. We develop core lighting and acoustical specifications and review and coordinate architectural requirements and concerns with the project team. Our approach is comprehensive and collaborative to help ensure success across all disciplines.
