How it works

Full service engineering design. Delivered remotely.

See the full process
  1. 01

    Start with a bounded request

    Send what you have — sketches, GIS/CAD files, pole data, spreadsheets. A named engineer reviews it and confirms a scoping timetable.

  2. 02

    Agree scope, standards & criteria

    Work begins once a written SOW sets deliverables, assumptions, standards and who owns each engineering decision.

  3. 03

    Produce with visible controls

    Assumptions, RFIs and progress are logged as they happen, not buried inside the drawing set.

  4. 04

    Independent QA & handoff

    A second reviewer checks the package against the SOW before a revision-tracked transmittal ships.

Engagement models

Work with us the way that fits your pipeline.

One-off

Per-Project

Fixed scope, fixed price, per task or drawing package. Quoted within 12 hours of your request: ideal for a single design, a permit package, or clearing a specific backlog item.

Recurring

Retainer

Reserved monthly capacity (hours or deliverable volume) with priority turnaround. Built for teams with an ongoing design and drafting pipeline.

Both paths end in a scoped quotation prepared by our team. Pricing is confirmed during scoping, not published up front.

Featured case study

Greenfield FTTH design for 500 homes, full OSP package from plat to BOM

Built to standard US ILEC/CLEC practice: a two-stage 1:4/1:8 split localizes fault response to a single FDT instead of the whole feeder, construction runs underground-first to meet HOA aesthetic requirements, and 20–30% spare fiber is held at every tier so the network can absorb infill lots without a re-trench. The design closes with 7.4 dB of optical margin against the 28 dB GPON Class B+ budget, enough headroom for a future 1:64 upgrade at a subset of FDTs.

Input received
The subdivision plat with lot layout and home count (~4 homes/acre), the target GPON architecture, and local joint-trench and AHJ burial requirements.
Delivered
A complete outside-plant design: two-stage centralized/distributed GPON topology (FDH/FDT), civil route and handhole plan, fiber count and splice architecture by tier, a cumulative optical link budget, and a procurement-ready bill of materials.
Timeline
Scoped in 2 hours, delivered in 2 business days.
