Six service lines.
One RCDD on every drawing.

Standards-traceable ICT design, project management, peer review, and white-label overflow support — delivered remotely on retainer, by fixed-fee project, or as a named RCDD on your team.

Inside plant

Structured Cabling / ICT Design

Full horizontal and backbone cabling design for new construction, retrofit, and tenant fit-out. We size pathways, lay out IDF/TR/ER rooms, specify racks, ladder, fiber and copper plants, and deliver the riser drawings, room elevations, and bill-of-materials a GC or integrator can build from without guessing. That makes structured cabling design remote from the project site practical when the team supplies current backgrounds, field-verified conditions, and a named coordination contact.

Outside-plant cable routing between buildings, campuses, and street-side handholes — including duct banks, manholes, splice cases, and entrance facilities. We coordinate with civil and electrical and produce the as-permitted drawing set most municipal reviewers expect.

Systems

Telecom & Low-Voltage Systems Design

Audiovisual, access control, video surveillance, DAS, paging, and intercom — the systems that ride the structured cabling backbone. Low voltage design build telecom support works best when scope ownership is settled before layout begins, so we sequence systems with structured cabling early and coordinate rough-in pathway, power, grounding, and field-verification responsibilities.

Design Review / QA & Standards Compliance

Third-party peer review of an in-house or another firm's package, before it goes to bid or to permit. Coded against a BICSI/TIA checklist — issues are flagged with severity, citation, and a proposed correction. Used by primes hedging bid risk and by owners doing pre-IFC sanity checks.

Subcontract

Remote Design Support / Staff Augmentation

For primes who need an RCDD on a bid, an A/E who's overflow on a deadline, or a GC who wants design support on a design-build award. We work under your project number and your file system, on your team's tempo — and we stay invisible to your client if that's what the engagement calls for.

Data center

Data Center White Space Design

RCDD-led white space design for data halls, edge cabinets, and computer rooms — from cabinet layout through structured cabling and pathway, packaged so the GC and the electrical contractor can build it without back-and-forth.

Illustrative cutaway of telecommunications racks, overhead cable tray, cabling, and grounding coordination
Illustrative technical study Rack layout, pathway, cable management, grounding, and service clearance resolved together.

Equipment layout

Cabinet and rack elevations, hot/cold aisle arrangement, footprint and clearance plans, and power/cooling coordination so the white space is laid out before the slab is poured.

  • Cabinet & rack floor plans
  • Rack elevations with U-by-U fill
  • Hot/cold aisle containment layout
  • Clearance & service-access plans

Pathway design

Overhead cable tray, underfloor, and busway pathway routing sized to fill, with grounding/bonding (TIA-607) and separation from power — designed to ANSI/TIA-942 and BICSI data-center practice.

  • Overhead tray & ladder routing
  • Fiber and copper backbone pathways
  • Tray fill calcs & separation
  • Telecommunications bonding (TIA-607)

Deliverable formats

An RCDD-reviewed and electronically signed drawing package issued in the formats your team already builds from — native CAD, coordination models, and a bill of materials a GC or integrator can price.

  • RCDD-reviewed and signed drawing set (PDF)
  • Native AutoCAD DWG / Revit RVT
  • Bill of materials with manufacturer SKUs
  • Standards-traceability matrix

Telecom rooms

Telecom Room Design

RCDD-led telecom room design to BICSI best practice and ANSI/TIA-569 — equipment rack placement, conduit and pathway coordination, and grounding worked out on paper before the walls close up.

Every telecom room design engagement starts with the IDF/MDF layout: we size each room, place equipment racks and wall fields to BICSI and ANSI/TIA-569 clearances, and work out the conduit, sleeve, and grounding details your electrical contractor roughs in from. Because each room is engineered as part of the building's structured cabling design rather than as an afterthought, backbone pathways, riser counts, and horizontal distribution land in the same coordinated set. The engagement runs fully remote — send architectural backgrounds in DWG or RVT, review the layout on a scheduled video call, and receive RCDD-reviewed and electronically signed drawings, typically with no site visit required. GCs and electrical contractors get a build-ready package: TR floor plans, wall and rack elevations, equipment schedules, and rough-in details, with every sheet identifying the responsible ICT designer and revision.

Room layout & racks

A telecom room lives or dies on its layout. We size the room, place equipment racks and wall fields to BICSI/TIA-569 clearances, and plan the cable management so the room still works after five years of moves, adds, and changes.

  • TR floor plan & rack elevations
  • Equipment rack & cabinet placement
  • Plywood backboard & wall-field layout
  • Working clearances per TIA-569

Pathways & grounding

We coordinate conduit and pathway routing into and through the room with your electrical contractor — sleeve and conduit counts, tray entries, riser alignment — and design the telecommunications grounding and bonding (TIA-607) the inspector will actually look for.

  • Conduit & sleeve sizing and counts
  • Cable tray entry & routing coordination
  • Grounding busbar (TGB/TMGB) placement
  • Bonding design per TIA-607

Remote-stamp delivery

The design workflow can run remotely from current architectural backgrounds, field-verified inputs, and scheduled coordination. The proposal defines the RCDD sign-off, any required PE coordination, and whether site verification must be supplied by the project team or performed separately.

  • RCDD-reviewed and signed TR drawing set (PDF)
  • Native AutoCAD DWG / Revit RVT
  • Rough-in details for the electrical contractor
  • Remote delivery, subject to project requirements

Frequently asked

The questions clients and partner firms ask.

Don't see yours? Send it directly — we'll respond within one business day.

Potentially, when the project records, field inputs, contract, and AHJ requirements support remote delivery. RCDD sign-off is a credentialed design sign-off, not a state-issued PE license. The proposal defines the responsibility boundary and coordination with the project's licensed PE where required.
