About Us

C. Archer & Associates is a Technology Consultant partnership, specializing in the development and design of low voltage systems for new, existing and renovated buildings. This partnership brings over 38 years of combined experience in the telecommunications industry, with an emphasis in attention to detail, that produces a highly coordinated cohesive set of bid documents which reduces change orders, reduces construction delays and permits very accurate bidding. C. Archer and Associates understands the importance of maintaining the client's pre-established network/systems standards thus we will work intimately with the client to insure their standards are reflected in the bid documents.

C. Archer and Associates knows that once the contractor is done and leaves the site, the owner is required to maintain and manage the systems, thus we engineer solutions with this in mind and involve the client in the design process. To insure the systems are installed as documented and specified, we provide detailed reviews of contractor submitted pre-installation shop drawings, and make site visits during the construction process.

C. Archer & Associates works intimately with all parties involved (architect, MEP engineer, end user and contractors) to identify the requirements of every system to be installed and ensure it can be installed per industry standards, manufacturer's recommendations and applicable building codes

C. Archer & Associates uses the latest drafting software to engineer and delineate its systems solutions (AutoCAD and REVIT) to produce scaled plans, elevations and details. Our CAD department also provides drafting services for other low voltage and MEP engineering firms.
