 What cabling product
lines do you /support?
We have personnel trained and certified in most of the major
product lines. However our primary products are the CommScope SYSTIMAX and
Uniprise products. We are certified for both
manufacturers' extended warranty programs and have extensive
relationships with both companies. We have also joined the Belden
IBDN Global Services program, and will be supporting their efforts.
Where do you have
actual offices?
Our headquarters is in Denver,
and our branch offices are in Ashburn, Virginia and Santa Monica,
California. We have permanent crews in Seattle, Northern California,
Phoenix and Dallas, so those cities are likely to have real offices
in the near future.
How do you service
other cities?
We currently have 90% of our crew members set up to travel
wherever our clients maintain facilities. We also have resident
crews in Denver, Virginia/Maryland/DC, Dallas, the Bay Area, Los
Angeles, Phoenix and Dallas. This allows us to
quickly service those areas, while maintaining the flexibility to
support our clients on a national/global basis.
How can you be
competitive if you have to travel to most cities?
Well, let's be honest. Our quality of work is second to none, and
our clients recognize this and place value on the quality of our
work. While we are not the cheapest game in town, neither are we the
most expensive, and the value we deliver is exceptional. Our clients
find that we can deliver their projects faster and with much higher
quality than they experience with typical local contractors. Our
clients also recognize the value in using a single contractor to
deliver projects throughout the country, rather than having to
educate different crews in each city where they maintain facilities.
We are exceptionally proficient in handling national/global
buildouts and equipment rollouts. We also specialize in accelerated
deployments, where schedules become very compressed, and deadlines
absolutely cannot be missed.
With all that being said, we are also competitively priced, and
welcome the opportunity to provide a bid for your next project.
Do you subcontract the
work to other companies?
There are rare occasions when we will subcontract work to other
companies, particularly in cities where unions are very strong. We
maintain very strong relationships with partners in New York, New
Jersey, Chicago, St. Louis and Portland to specifically
address those markets. In any case where the installation work is
subcontracted, we provide full-time on-site project management and
oversight. You can rest assured that we never simply turn a
project over to someone else - you will always have a full-time
NetStructures project manager to work with.
Please note that this applies to all work except cooling installation.
A small amount of AC electrical and all
mechanical installation work is subcontracted,
as it is simply not feasible to maintain electrical and mechanical
contractor licenses in
every state. DC power is primarily handled by our in-house staff, or
by a single key partner with whom we have a very strong relationship. All DC work is performed with at least one Level 4+ installer
leading the crew.
Do you use temporary
workers?
To date, we have resisted this business model. Nearly all of our
competitors utilize temporary workers, some for up to 75% of the
actual work! While there are certainly some economies to this
approach, we feel that it is impossible to maintain quality control
when doing work in this manner, and therefore have elected to
perform nearly all of the work ourselves. To date, we have used temporary labor
very sparingly, and
this represented less than 1% of the total work performed.
This brings up another key point to our success - we provide
extensive training for our team members and regard ongoing education
as a key component of both an individual's and the company's ability
to succeed. We maintain SYSTIMAX certifications for nearly all of
our technicians and all of our sales and project management
personnel. We intend to have 100% certification completed by
mid-summer, 2008. We have numerous individual
technicians and managers with certifications in AMP, Belden, KRONE
(now ADC), Panduit, Siemon and other major product lines. We have also begun the process of BICSI certification for
all technicians. All Project Managers and Program Managers are
required to complete BICSI RCDD certification within a year of their
hire date, and are strongly encouraged to pursue PMP (Project
Management Professional) certification.
