Consulting & Design

Project-based engagements.
Fixed scope. Real deliverables.

Site surveys, network design, office build management, and ad-hoc troubleshooting. Assessment fee credited toward managed service onboarding if engaged within 90 days of report delivery.

Engagement Types

From a quick assessment
to a full office build.

80% of consulting projects convert to ongoing managed service subscriptions. We design networks with the intent to manage them — so the architecture is built for monitoring, not just day-one function.

How It Works

From first call
to signed deliverable.

A typical engagement runs 2–4 weeks from initial call to final report. Build management projects scale with construction schedule — usually 6–12 weeks.

01
Discovery Call
30-minute call to understand your current setup, headcount, growth plans, and compliance requirements. No charge. We determine whether a fixed-scope or hourly engagement fits best.
02
Site Survey
On-site physical and logical audit. We document every device, cable run, switch port, and wireless coverage area. Photos, floor plan markup, and device inventory.
03
Design & Deliverable
Architecture design, topology diagrams, IP addressing plan, and written recommendations. Fixed-scope engagements include a bound report. Hourly work includes a summary memo.
04
Implementation / Handoff
For build management: contractor oversight, CPE configuration, testing, and sign-off. For assessments: optional transition to managed service with the onboarding fee waived.
What You Receive

Documentation you can
hand to any engineer.

Every fixed-scope engagement includes a complete documentation package. Not a slide deck — actual engineering documents.

Network Topology Diagrams
Physical and logical diagrams in Visio/PDF. Layer 2 and Layer 3 views. Rack elevation drawings where applicable.
IP Address & VLAN Register
Full IP addressing scheme. VLAN IDs, subnets, gateway assignments, DHCP scopes. Maintained in Excel and PDF.
Gap Analysis Report
Current-state findings with risk ratings (Critical / High / Medium / Low). Remediation recommendations with estimated effort and cost.
Equipment BOM
Itemized bill of materials with part numbers, quantities, and cabling specs. Vendor-agnostic unless client has preference.
Firewall & VLAN Policy Docs
Zone definitions, security policy rules, inter-VLAN routing decisions. Ready for implementation by any qualified engineer.
3–5 Year Growth Roadmap
Capacity planning assumptions tied to headcount projections. Identifies trigger points for equipment refresh or architecture changes.
Telecom & Carrier Analysis
ISP circuit review: contract terms, pricing vs. market rate, circuit performance vs. SLA. Where warranted, LOA-based renegotiation executed as part of the engagement. Most clients find 20–40% savings.
