THE PROBLEM
Slough Borough Council wanted to create a hub for the Britwell Community. They commissioned the design and build of a new community centre and engaged DAS to help them make it a reality.
The new building was earmarked to be the home of a new library, family contact centre, adult learning, meeting rooms and copious other areas. All these different sections of the building required different technologies to maximise their benefit to the community and make the councils investment work as hard as it possibly could to deliver the highest quality services.
The project required both security and media technologies to be applied and crucially a level of accessibility which truly made it a community wide facility.

dies SOLUTION
DAS surveyed the site, drew up its plans and submitted a quote to DHT, the M&E contractor, who had been commissioned to carry out the full building requirements.
WHY DAS
DHT selected DAS as its technology partner based on our ability to supply a full turnkey solution encompassing various technology solutions. Using a single supplier to install the full range of services makes DAS a business that is easy to work with. Having worked on other similar projects with DHT we had a record of being both efficient and cost effective.
QUOTE TO INSTALL
Once the pricing for the work had been agreed and signed off DAS and DHT discussed the final designs and the process to ensure all of the technological solutions worked as the client expected and ultimately as the community members will expect.
A number of pre-start meetings were held with the client and the Main Contractor, equipment locations were discussed as well as cable routes and other fine details of the install process. A number of plans were then drawn up before final locations were decided on.

INSTALLATION
Due this project being a new building the installation was carried out over a three month period with different technologies being added at different stages of the build process to compliment the construction process and keep costs to an absolute minimum.
For this installation we accessed specialist equipment to commission parts of the project to ensure precise delivery against the quotation and spec.
