PTS Communications Cabling Design & Bid Specification Documentation Service
 PTS Communications Cabling Design & Bid Specification Documentation Service provides the labor for the due diligence process to determine the full scope of your company's telecommunications needs, the design of a structured cabling system that serves those needs, the creation of various written documents in AIA format, and the creation of prints visually detailing the specifics of the telecommunications work to be performed. The latter documentation can then be utilized to solicit bids from potential data cabling company contractors.
This provides a company with a non-biased, independent, assessment of the current data center cabling infrastructure performance as well as design recommendations and specifications to eliminate scheduled and unscheduled downtime. The assessment includes a comprehensive computer room site inspection, determination of the full scope of the company telecommunications needs, the design of a suitable structured cabling system and the creation of written reports, prints and specification documents:
