Professional Audio Visual Consultancy and Design
Objective advice from AV experts to define the right technology strategy, design the right solution and deliver successful projects around your business and user needs.
Expert AV Consultancy from Strategy to Delivery
The right audio visual technology starts with the right advice. Our AV consultancy and design services help you make informed decisions, plan with confidence and create technology environments that work for your people, your business and your budget.
At Display Manager, we take the time to understand your organisation, assess your existing infrastructure and identify what you need from your technology. We then develop tailored AV designs and practical recommendations that improve collaboration, streamline workplace technology and maximise your return on investment.
From initial assessment and system design through to project management, installation and ongoing support, we bring together the expertise needed to deliver reliable, intuitive and future-ready solutions.
We don't simply specify and install technology. We ensure it works seamlessly with your existing systems, supports your business objectives and delivers an exceptional experience for the people who use it. Whether you're upgrading meeting rooms, developing a new workplace, modernising an auditorium or planning technology across multiple sites, our independent, consultative approach helps you get the most from your investment.

Our Approach: Six Stages to a Successful AV Project
We bring consultancy, design and delivery together in one coordinated process, with our consultants working closely with our project management, network and engineering teams.
Assessment & Discovery
We assess your spaces, existing infrastructure, user requirements, business objectives and budget. This provides the foundation for a solution that meets your needs and addresses any existing challenges.
System Design
Our AV designers translate your requirements into a practical, tailored design. Working with our network and IT specialists, we consider system architecture, equipment, connectivity, usability, scalability and integration.
Integration & Planning
We check how the solution will work with your existing systems and planned infrastructure. This includes considering network requirements, platform compatibility, security and opportunities for standardisation across your estate.
Project Management
Our design and project management teams work together to develop a clear implementation plan, including project milestones, responsibilities, resources and installation schedules.
Installation & Commissioning
We install, configure and test systems to ensure performance, reliability and usability, coordinating handover with system documentation and user guidance.
Proactive Support & Maintenance
Protect your investment with continuous proactive monitoring and maintenance with remote and onsite technical support. Keep your technology secure, updated and optimised.
One Accountable Partner from Concept to Completion
Working with a single technology partner helps maintain continuity between the original requirements, system design and final installation.
At Display Manager, our consultants, network specialists, project managers and engineers collaborate throughout the project lifecycle. This joined-up approach helps identify potential issues early, coordinate technical dependencies and ensure the finished solution reflects the original design intent.
We take a technology-agnostic approach, recommending equipment and platforms according to your requirements rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
From a single meeting room to a multi-site workplace technology deployment, we focus on delivering solutions that are practical, reliable, intuitive and designed to evolve with your organisation.

Why Expert AV Consultancy Matters
Successful AV projects begin with a clear understanding of what your organisation needs to achieve.

Our consultancy-led approach helps you make the right decisions from the outset.

We assess how people work, communicate and collaborate to ensure your systems are intuitive, accessible and fit for purpose. Good design helps improve adoption, reduce meeting disruption and minimise avoidable support calls to IT and facilities teams.
The right technology for today and tomorrow
We recommend solutions based on your objectives, environment and budget, with flexibility to accommodate changing requirements, new technologies and future business growth.
Seamless integration with your IT infrastructure
Our AV consultants work closely with our network and IT specialists to ensure your systems integrate with existing infrastructure, platforms and security requirements.
Better project planning and cost control
Detailed specifications, considered equipment selection and early coordination help reduce unforeseen costs, minimise implementation risks and keep projects aligned with agreed budgets and timescales.
Long-term performance and reliability
We consider the complete technology lifecycle, including commissioning, maintenance, monitoring and future upgrades, helping you protect your investment and keep your systems performing as intended.
AV consultancy and design services
Our consultants combine technical expertise, practical experience and a clear understanding of workplace requirements to develop solutions that deliver measurable value.
Needs assessment and technology strategy
We start by understanding your organisation, business objectives, users and physical environment. Through consultation and site assessments, we review your existing technology, identify challenges and establish the requirements for a successful solution.
AV system design and specification
Our experienced AV designers develop tailored system designs and technical specifications based on your needs. This can include equipment selection, system architecture, audio and video requirements, connectivity, control systems, room layouts and integration with your IT network.
Where appropriate, we provide schematic designs, visual concepts and detailed documentation to support project planning, procurement and implementation.
AV and IT integration
Modern workplace technology relies on reliable integration between audio visual systems, networks, collaboration platforms and connected devices. Our AV and network specialists work together to address compatibility, connectivity, performance and security requirements from the design stage.
Project planning and management
We work closely with our project management team to coordinate requirements, stakeholders, resources, installation schedules and dependencies. Detailed planning helps ensure the design can be implemented efficiently, with minimal disruption to your business.
Installation, commissioning and handover
Our team oversees the implementation of the approved design, ensuring systems are installed, configured, integrated and tested. Commissioning and documentation help verify performance, support a smooth handover and give your teams confidence in using their new technology.
Ongoing support and optimisation
Our relationship doesn't end when your project is complete. Through our AV maintenance and managed services, we can provide proactive monitoring, maintenance, remote diagnostics and technical support to help keep your workplace technology reliable, up to date and secure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an AV consultant do?
An AV consultant assesses your business requirements, existing infrastructure and user needs before recommending and designing an appropriate audio visual solution. This may include meeting room technology, video conferencing, displays, audio systems, room control, networking and integration with workplace platforms.
Why do I need professional AV consultancy?
Professional AV consultancy helps ensure your technology is fit for purpose, compatible with your infrastructure and straightforward for people to use. Good planning can reduce integration problems, avoid unnecessary expenditure, improve reliability and help prevent costly changes later in the project.
What is included in AV design services?
Depending on the project, AV design services can include site assessments, user requirements gathering, system architecture, equipment selection, technical specifications, schematic drawings, visual designs, network coordination and implementation planning.
At what stage should I involve an AV consultant?
Ideally, involve an AV consultant during the early planning stages of a refurbishment, new-build project, office move or technology upgrade. Early engagement allows AV requirements to be coordinated with architects, interior designers, IT teams, electrical contractors and other project stakeholders before key decisions are finalised.
Do you provide AV consultancy for existing meeting rooms and workplaces?
Yes. We can assess existing spaces and technology to identify performance issues, usability challenges, outdated equipment and opportunities for improvement. Recommendations may include targeted upgrades, system redesign, standardisation or a phased technology refresh.
Can you integrate new AV technology with our existing IT systems?
Yes. We consider your existing infrastructure, collaboration platforms, network requirements and security policies when designing a solution. Our AV design and network specialists work together to plan compatibility and integration, helping ensure the proposed technology fits your wider IT environment.
How much does AV consultancy cost?
The cost depends on the scale and complexity of the project, the number of spaces involved, the level of design documentation required and the scope of consultancy. We can discuss your requirements and establish the appropriate scope of work for your project.
