Our Comprehensive Security Engineering & Design Services

1. Code Compliance Certification

AST ensures that all system designs meet applicable local, state, federal, and industry regulatory requirements. Our engineers stay current with building
codes, life-safety standards, and physical security regulations so your project achieves full compliance before installation begins. This certification process reduces risk, avoids delays, and ensures your system is approved at every level.

2. Technical Drawings

Our team produces detailed technical drawings that provide a precise blueprint for system installation. These include:

  • Floor plans and device layouts
  • Wiring and infrastructure diagrams
  • Network architecture references
  • Elevation and equipment details

Accurate drawings help streamline installation, minimize errors, and ensure every component is placed exactly where it needs to be for optimal performance.

3. RFP & Bid Specifications

AST prepares professional, clearly written RFP and bid specifications for clients requiring a formal procurement process. These documents include:

  • Defined project scope and system requirements
  • Performance expectations
  • Hardware and software specifications
  • Compliance and certification needs
  • Evaluation criteria for selecting vendors

Our structured approach helps organizations secure accurate, competitive bids and ensures vendors fully understand the technical expectations of the project. For additional guidance on government procurement, visit the federal contracting resource.
