Cabling labs and large areas, such as a wing of a building, must be planned and engineered with MTU Telecommunications. Estimates will be provided with the scope of work definition. Estimates given for a project will be honored for 45 days, due to price fluctuations on material.

Capital Project Telecommunications Management

Design and engineering is the cornerstone of the campus network. All capital projects undergo extensive design and review considerations to determine the needs of the university. All building projects and major renovations must meet currently accepted telecommunications standards.

Project management is essential to ensure the project objectives are accomplished in the most efficient and effective manner. On-site as well as off-site work is continually reviewed to guarantee a successful project. Our team monitors ongoing projects and works closely with vendors and contractors.

Design and engineering assistance along with written estimates are provided for projects under our control. We occasionally work with outside departments or companies to provide assistance for projects.

Estimates on projects are based upon estimated time and materials unless other arrangements are made. All engineering and design work is performed by competent skilled technicians and engineers.
