	Planning The first task in the planning stage is to establish all the different supply routes and the telecommunication network distribution, while taking into account present and future needs of the structures that need to be connected together. Technical and budgetary optimization of the network to be laid out is done for data transmission, for the choice of equipment and for the architecture of the network to be installed.
	Preliminary Studies We proceed to do the feasibility and budgetary studies associated with the basic planning and we draw up a complete report of budgetary and time investments needed. These assessments allow us to better gauge the size of the project and enable us to prepare a very precise budget or tender.
	Invitation to Tender / Bid If requested by the client, we prepare the Invitation to Tender and proceed to analyze the bids, comparing the different factors: time, cost, required expertise, etc.
	Interior Conception The determination of the route the cable will take inside the building following the norms set forth by the building code and the clients, while respecting the requirements of the owners and their tenants. The determination of equipment location in the room, taking into account present and future needs.
	Exterior Conception The determination of a specific route to be taken for a project, based on the availability of an existing network. It is at this stage where it is of the utmost importance to identify the potential difficulties in obtaining “right of way” as well as construction and budgetary problems that might arise, in order to maximize the usefulness and therefore, the profitability of the network to be built.
	Network Plotting Network plotting: information gathering on existing supporting structures, i.e. posts, strands, existing conduits or the possibility of burying the cable. Determining who owns these structures in order to forward the plans to the proper people is a vital step in the process. An additional step is to gather all pertinent information regarding the interior of the building to allow the installation of the cable, again following safety and security codes, as well as plotting its future location. The different accesses (codes, keys, schedules, etc.) and safety requirements (contacts, authorizations, etc.) are also determined so that they may be included with the site information.
	Site Supervision We supervise all the construction sites of the different projects to ensure that our client’s norms are respected as well as the usual building and safety codes. We also provide all the technical plotting required to produce the “as built” plans.
	Maintenance and Supervision We also conduct “construction quality” inspections on all sites before the expiration date of the building guarantees. We take care of relocation projects, of removal or temporary displacement which require visits and negotiations with all parties involved. We also take inventory of existing structures on a given territory.
	Computerized Plans Following the conception stage, the plans are drawn according to the standards of each client and the requirements of each participant using the customer’s program of choice (Microstation, Autocad or other). These plans must ensure that the projected work is clearly laid out so as to minimize approval times for right of way and maximize productivity during all stages of construction.
	Fusion Plans We prepare the splicing and fusion plans following our client’s standards in order to be able to properly instruct the crews connecting the different cables.
	Bid Preparation The drawing up of all forms required by the different participants involved in the project, in order to acquire the legal rights to use the existing supporting structures which do not belong to our client.
	Project Manager His principal role is to ensure the project progresses efficiently by establishing priorities at each stage in order to have it finished by or before the forecasted deadline. It is also his responsibility to prepare the tenders for the building contractors according to the plans and taking into account possible problems that might arise while keeping the costs as low as possible. He is also responsible for analyzing the different tenders and awarding the contract, with the approval of the client.
	Right of Way Negotiation We follow up with all parties involved and, as needed, go on site with each party to minimize any delay in obtaining the “right of way” necessary to the beginning of the construction.
	Servitude Negotiation In specific cases, it is necessary to sign notarized servitude contracts before beginning the construction in order to ensure the use of private property for a long period of time, no matter who the legal owner might be in future years.
	Lease / Purchase Negotiation The negotiation for the use of space on a piece of land or in a building is a very important aspect in the installation of telecommunication sites or rooms which require a major investment on the part of our clients. These sites are also an integral part of the image our clients want to project and represent a major investment. Thus, they must be protected by an in-depth study of potential sites, including checking soil contamination levels and land registry.
