The Site Survey Checklist We Run Before Every Rollout

The Site Survey Checklist We Run Before Every Rollout

A multi-site program lives or dies on what you learn before the trucks roll. Here is what we capture, every time.

A good survey turns assumptions into facts: available power and its capacity, pathway and containment, rack space and cooling, existing cabling condition, RF conditions for wireless, and the access and change-window realities of the site. We photograph and document everything to one template so a hundred locations read the same way back at the office. That consistency is what lets us stage equipment centrally, dispatch certified crews with clear runbooks, and hand over as-builts that actually match the site. Skip the survey and you inherit surprises on install day — the most expensive place to discover them.
