More than a decade ago, PlanNet anticipated the need for integrated technology design solutions for new construction and interior workplace projects, and set out to develop this offering. PlanNet became one of the first companies in the U.S. to provide integrated design for all technology systems and infrastructure under one roof.
The clear benefit to architectural teams and clients is having one firm responsible for design and integration of all low-voltage technology versus coordinating multiple specialty consultants. We’ve found that this saves time and money, avoids confusion among the project team, and eliminates conflicts between multiple consultant drawings and specification.
