How is the system installed?
Every installation is unique. That’s what makes an ask4 broadband installation special. We work with the developer from day one to deliver a network that’s as brilliant as the rest of the development.
There is no such thing as a typical development. Each site is unique, and ask4 tailor an installation to fit perfectly. Working closely with mechanical and electrical consultants and with specialist cabling contractors, ask4 design and implement a scheme that is uniquely appropriate for a development.
We ensure that containment, power and housing requirements form part of the M and E tender document. By working in this fashion, we ensure that the installation is done in the most efficient way possible and in a manner that fits with the wider build program – we know how vital it is to dove-tail into the build and we guarantee that we will not in any way delay or hinder the rest of the construction process. Indeed, we are happy to provide letters from contractors that we have previously worked with attesting to our excellent performance on site.
There are two ways in which an installation is carried out. Either ask4’s own specialist data contractor undertakes the installation of the full network cabling and provides the necessary attendances on site, or we enter into a separate side agreement with the principal M and E contractor to install cabling to our specification. ask4’s own engineers undertake the installation of all switching and control equipment.
