# Advise

Straight answers before you spend money.

Twenty-plus years across cabling, networks, security, hosting and software means we have usually seen the problem before. Hire us for an hour or a project: to plan a build, review a quote, audit what you have, or manage a vendor on your behalf.

- **Technology assessments**A plain-English review of your network, security, backups and software, with a prioritised list of what to fix.

- **Planning for new builds & renovations**Cabling, network, camera and automation plans before the drywall goes up, so nothing has to be surface-mounted later.

- **Second opinions**Bring us the quote you were given. We will tell you what is reasonable, what is padding, and what is missing.

- **Vendor & project management**We manage your ISP, electrician, alarm company or software vendor so you do not have to.

- **Ongoing advisory**A monthly or quarterly check-in for businesses that want a technology lead without hiring one.
