1 Communicating with Allied Trades CHAPTER 7 In this chapter, you will learn about The related professionals you work with on an AV project Three common organizational tools used to track an AV project The purpose of industry standards and the role they play in working with allied trades The importance of detail in specifying your design The infrastructure that supports an AV design is handled by electricians, lighting designers, mechanical engineers, and others. As you specify what will go into your design, you will need to communicate those elements to your allied trade partners. Each trade requires certain information from you, which we will discuss in Chapters 8 through 11. But before you learn about working with individual allied trades, we will discuss briefly the general fabric of communicating with these professionals. Domain Check This chapter relates directly to the following tasks on the CTS-D Exam Content Outline: Domain A Task 1: Identify stakeholders/decision-makers Domain A Task 2: Identify skill level of end users Domain A Task 3: Educate the client Domain A Task 6: Research client s business process Domain D Task 1: Participate in project implementation communication These tasks comprise 7.2 percent of the exam (about 9 questions). This chapter may also relate to other tasks. 185
2 CTS-D Certified Technology Specialist-Design Exam Guide 186 Communicating with Stakeholders All AV professionals must work with people from outside their organization to serve their customers needs. Architectural Architecture, Interior Design, Carpentry Mechanical/HVAC Ventilation, Fire Suppression Electrical Power, Infrastructure, Lighting Structural Structural Engineering, Rigging, Seismic Allied trades are the businesses that collaborate with AV professionals to complete integrated solutions for customers. Each trade has its own priorities and areas of expertise, but they must all work together to satisfy the customer. Typically, you will need to work with these other professionals in the design phase of the project to create proper spaces for AV systems. Cooperating and identifying issues early will produce the best results. Table 7-1 shows some of the AV industry s allied trades and the areas where they might collaborate with AV professionals. This table is not exhaustive. A more complex or unusual AV project might involve even more allied trades. Allied Trade Architects Interior designers Electrical professionals IT professionals Telecom professionals Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) professionals Content developers Subject-matter experts Table 7-1 Collaborate with AV Professionals on... Window placement in display environments; space requirements. Furniture; equipment positioning; wall and window treatments. Wiring installation; power requirements. Network connectivity; media storage; equipment control. Telephone systems; intercoms; Internet lines. Equipment mounting; HVAC noise. Digital signage content. Areas of Collaboration with Allied Trades Topics specific to a particular project or vertical market. For example, a teacher might advise an AV professional on the requirements for a classroom.
3 Chapter 7: Communicating with Allied Trades 187 Tracking the Project Engaging with allied trades and understanding each other s needs are crucial to figuring out how you re going to design an AV system. In the process, it is important to develop a feasible timeline with your client and team so that everyone is aware of the dates by which certain milestones should be accomplished. Although this is more of a project management function, it s important that AV designers understand how it works. Project coordination covers many different aspects of a project, not just the AV portion. Sometimes, other parts of a project must be completed before you can begin or finish certain AV elements. It is common for the AV team to wait until construction is finished before scheduling the installation of sensitive equipment. The AV project manager must also monitor other parts of the project to ensure that considerations for AV equipment or specifications are met, such as monitoring where, specifically, an HVAC or sprinkler system is installed in a space to keep it from being collocated with a projector or cable run. The most common way to coordinate the completion of such tasks and to track the overall project is to create an organizational chart. There are three basic types: A work breakdown structure (WBS), which defines products or services A Gantt chart, which provides a timeline for all the activities A logic network diagram, which shows what tasks must be completed before you can begin your work PART III Work Breakdown Structure One important tool or technique for project management is the work breakdown structure (WBS), as shown in Figure 7-1. It is a deliverables-oriented representation of project components, created in hierarchical form, which helps organize and define the scope of work. A WBS shows how deliverables and components are interconnected and dependent on one another. The visual elements of the WBS define products or services and are always expressed in nouns.

4 CTS-D Certified Technology Specialist-Design Exam Guide 188 The WBS serves many critical purposes, the most important of which is defining the work to be performed and breaking it into manageable parts. A well-defined WBS helps ensure that all team members working on a project clearly understand what the client expects to receive. NOTE A work breakdown structure tells you only what. It does not address who, when, or how much. Gantt Chart The most common way to present a project schedule is through a Gantt chart (see Figure 7-2). A Gantt chart depicts the timeline for tasks and subtasks as horizontal bars, showing the sequence in which tasks should be performed. The chart also includes project milestones, such as the completion of major tasks. Gantt charts are a great tool for actually showing your client a project as it progresses. It s important to be able to offer clients a graphical representation of their projects so they understand which activities impact others and which project activities are the responsibilities of allied trades. Figure 7-2 is a simplified version of a Gantt chart, but it illustrates the concept well. The top of the chart shows project dates. On the left side, you see activities and milestones. The shaded areas represent milestones, which are the tasks that have to happen before the subsequent task. If the milestones are not met, the project will not be able to move forward and continue. The milestones might shift one way or another. If you receive approval quickly, the milestone can move to the left (earlier in the project), but if the activity requires revision, the milestone might move to the right (later in the project).

5 Chapter 7: Communicating with Allied Trades 189 Because some tasks must be completed before others can start, the Gantt chart identifies types of dependencies in a manner that clearly shows their sequence. For example, walls within a room must be finished and painted prior to mounting sensitive and fragile AV components, so the start dates of these AV tasks will be identified as dependent on the end dates of the room-preparation tasks. TIP When creating project charts for AV systems, it s important to coordinate your charts with those for other parts of the project, which may track such elements as the installation of electrical conduit and ceiling tiles. Their milestones need to work with your milestones because if theirs slip, it could impact yours. Logic Network Diagram A logic network diagram represents the same information as a Gantt chart except the information is laid out in a different way, showing the relationship among project activities and the effort (amount of time) each will take (see Figure 7-3). Logic network diagrams are useful when discussing with a client what other tasks need to be finished before you can begin yours. For example, say you allocate five weeks to install a certain AV system and the client asks if you can do it in two. A logic network diagram helps visualize what is or is not possible, based on other contingencies, such as whether a sprinkler system still needs to be installed in a space. You can t install your AV system first without risking damage; therefore, until the sprinklerinstallation activity is completed (and the diagram should show how long it will take), the AV system must wait. As with Gantt charts, coordinating AV activities and milestones with those of allied trades is critical to ensuring a logic network diagram reflects the project in a comprehensive way. PART III NOTE Gantt charts and logic network diagrams can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make them.

6 CTS-D Certified Technology Specialist-Design Exam Guide 190 Industry Standards as Common Language AV projects are complex. Out of necessity, they re guided by standards, both in the AV industry and in those of allied trades. A standard is a document that provides requirements, specifications, guidelines, or characteristics that can be used consistently to ensure that materials, products, processes, and services are fit for their purpose. Standards serve as a common platform for understanding and teamwork; they re a language for conducting day-to-day business. Standards are often voluntary, but they can also become regulation or code. There are many kinds of standards: technical, management, performance, measurement, methodology, and even de facto standards. De facto standards are not necessarily written down but become standard because they are overwhelmingly accepted by the public or a particular market. In the AV and technology-related industries, technical standards help ensure that diverse products from different companies work together, which creates efficiency, consistency, and interoperability. Performance standards help ensure that a system operates optimally or as intended so that it meets a client s expectations. Standards are developed by specific organizations to establish agreed-upon rules, regulations, specifications, measurements, and protocols. These organizations often create standards that meet other standards, which gives them the added weight of authority and encourages implementations. Standards groups that are important to the AV and IT industries include the International Organization for Standards (ISO), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and regional standard coordinators such as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). In 2008, InfoComm International became an ANSI Accredited Standards Developer to bring performance standards to the AV industry. Because other industries also develop their own standards, the likelihood that related trades will acknowledge and accept the role of AV-related standards increases. The first AV performance standard was ANSI/InfoComm 1M-2009, Audio Coverage Uniformity in Enclosed Listener Areas. For more information, visit standards. NOTE Standards differ throughout the world. If you are interested in discovering AV standards relevant to your region, start your search at or Hierarchy of Design Consultation Although InfoComm and allied trades offer standards that lend uniformity and professionalism to each project, there is a hierarchy of design consultation that goes beyond standards (see Figure 7-4). As you consider which references you ll use for basic project information or as the basis for key decisions, always start with regulatory requirements. From there, you can work your way down the hierarchy to identify sources that will help you make and
7 Chapter 7: Communicating with Allied Trades 191 Figure 7-4 The hierarchy of design consultation Regulatory Requirements Project Documentation Client s Standards and Best Practices National and International Standards Manufacturer Documentation Other Best Practices Documentation PART III defend your decisions. For example, you may be working with an allied trade partner to resolve a conflict between lighting positions in a room. Although the lighting designer might refer to a manufacturer s recommendation for fixture placement, you might refer to a national standard that recommends a different solution. Instead of going with a personal preference, you can use your knowledge of the standard to solve the problem with the lighting designer. When you consult a higher voice of authority, you can be more confident in the decision-making process. Ultimately, your goal is to reference the proper source and use this knowledge to justify your design solutions. Showing Workmanship As you progress through the AV design and documentation process, your most important ally is the integrator. The specifications you create for electricians, lighting designers, and other trades comprise the same documentation that an integrator will use to verify that the design you developed is the one the client sees. Integrators will be the people who ultimately install, set up, and verify the AV design based on your specifications. With that in mind, don t assume anything. Your specifications are the lens through which allied trades and integrators picture the project; therefore, you don t want that vision to be anything but clear. For example, if the designer fails to specify clearly important details, such as the display contrast ratio or loudspeaker placement, the AV design intent may or may not be achieved. Even small details, such as how items should be labeled on input wall plates or the color of user-accessible input cables, can affect the overall success of a system.
8 CTS-D Certified Technology Specialist-Design Exam Guide 192 Specify the details, document the math, and use professional guidelines in your design. Maintaining this mind-set will safeguard against unnecessary confusion and limit misconceptions.
