The value of a Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCCD)
Bring data-transport system credentialed expertise to your next capital or annual outlay project.
Experienced pros.Certified as experts in the systems
that move data through buildings. |
Strengthen infrastructure.Knowledgable about pathways, cabling
and spaces that meet best practices. |
Goal oriented.Keeping the Manage phase of the facility
in mind during plan, design and build. |
Our ultimate goal is to fundamentally improve the way technology systems are
planned, designed, built and maintained in facilities throughout upstate New York.

The national standard For Technology Infrastructure knowledge and skills
In the U.S., Mechanical-Electrical-Plumbing (MEP) engineers are licensed to ensure the HVAC, electrical and water delivery systems they design meet a variety of essential operational and safety criteria. The low-voltage systems that move data, however, are usually beyond the expertise of MEP firms.
While designers for specific systems such as security or AV may be available, expertise in the underlying technology infrastructure is often lacking.
A Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD®) is an experienced telecommunication professional who has demonstrated skills and expertise in the design, integration and installation of Information Technology Systems (ITS), both in the field and through rigorous testing and instructional development. Early involvement of an RCDD on a project can save a great deal of time and money in avoiding costly Change Orders.

Ensure project scope and budgets are accurate to avoid underfunded
technology systems. |
Create smart designs that are coordinated with the architect’s plans to minimize Change Orders.
|
Ensure that designs are implemented efficiently while providing a smooth transition for daily operations.
|
Take a comprehensive approach to design and documentation improves long-term management.
