status: draft collection: operating-brands function: reference tag: [waddell-av, av-consulting, video-security-systems, design, subcontractor-model] alias:
AV consulting brand focused on video security systems and broader AV designs. Delivers fast, precise scopes and plans, then orchestrates execution through a vetted subcontractor network. Does not own long-term labor capacity; installation is coordinated via partners while back-office runs through Grove United.
Positioning. Client-facing AV brand specializing first in video security systems as a credibility anchor, with expansion into broader AV as expertise and relationships compound. Differentiators: speed, precision, clean documentation, and predictable field execution through trusted partners.
Services (scope-first). Site surveys and needs analysis; camera layout and coverage maps; storage and retention planning; network/VLAN design; VMS selection and integration; device standards and bill of materials; install method statements; commissioning checklists; handover docs and as-builts.
Delivery model. Design-led consulting at the core; execution handled through a vetted subcontractor bench. Founder-driven installs may be used selectively to seed quality standards and proofs, but durable capacity resides with partners to keep the firm lean and expert-focused.
