An audio visual consultant helps clients with large-scale electronics projects, from determining the scope of the project to negotiating prices with suppliers and monitoring the installation. They also work with established clients to improve older electronic installations.
An audio visual consultant works with customers and installation technicians to ensure that a large-scale electronics project can be implemented on budget and delights the customers. The consultant typically works with electronics, from televisions to stereo systems; he will conduct meetings and negotiate with audio visual suppliers the best equipment prices for the client. In addition, an audio visual consultant will work with established clients to improve older electronic installations.
Initially, a consultant will meet with the client to determine the scope of the project. For example, a large company might want an intercom and video system installed throughout the building; the audiovisual consultant must listen to and document all the needs that the client may request. During the meeting, the consultant can offer alternatives or other variations to the required system if certain wishes are not possible. Additional issues may include installation time and a rough estimate of costs.
After a meeting with the client, the audiovisual consultant will consult with his technicians; Preliminary plans for electronic systems can be discussed and written down as a group to ensure all needs are met. Technicians will provide the consultant with any limitations or changes that may be necessary to implement the system. As a result, the consultant may need to contact the client if major changes are needed to make the system a reality.
The audio visual consultant contacts electronic component suppliers to discuss the price of the desired equipment. Large-scale audiovisual installations may need multiple monitors or speakers throughout the building. Consequently, the consultant can negotiate a cheaper price if he buys the items in bulk rather than individually.
The final installation is usually monitored by the audiovisual consultant; it will examine each installation point and verify that all desired modules have been placed correctly. Any aberration of the contracted equipment must be pointed out and corrected by the consultant. In addition to monitoring the quality of the installation, the consultant will monitor expenses; he or she must ensure that the project stays within budget to keep the vendor and customer happy.
As technology improves, established customers may require an upgrade to their systems. The audio-visual consultant will examine the pre-existing system and form a new module plan; successful consultants will be able to implement a new system at a minimal price. Fair treatment of established customers usually ensures that they will return for future system upgrades.
