 Hey Marcus, what time is it? I don't have a watch. You don't have a watch? It's about eight o'clock, right? Roughly. I don't know. You don't know. Tom here from Orange Systems and we are on site at a job and we as in me and my sons This is kind of a me coming by one to do video two an inspection on The progress is made and share a video about the progress that made with this project now This is the location I did the whole walkthrough and show how we do a build out and how we do the bidding So I'll link to the video is just I don't really want to call this part too because it's not it's going to be a little bit Progress on this project for those you kind of wonder what goes on here at Lawrence Systems What we actually do and I'm not just making tutorial videos But I'm starting in what was the kitchen area and it's funny because when you look at the before and after videos or pictures It's dramatically different this place. It was just raw and very unfinished before So we've got a lot of our work done and a lot of things hung up And I mean I'm actually a little lost walking around because I'm looking around at everything and Yes places big so my son said and now we're sorting out kind of the stages of it So this is a update video not only on the project, but about what happens during these projects So first we came in we bid we wired there was a lack of a ceiling There's a ceiling now and as we went through and did all that we have to coordinate with the different vendors and contractors Especially for the part that's going on right now, which is all the cubicles and you can't just Drop the cubicles in because the problem is the cubicles all need to be wired and the wiring is going to go Inside of them and so we've had to coordinate and it's not done yet This is all there's some of it just kind of on the floor We have to get the ends and they just now put these wall plates in the light or floor floor cans I'm sorry not wall plates floor cans in and Now that those are in we're gonna have to come up and put through and put little Jacks on there, and I don't think these are the cubicles that have it. Maybe I'm not looking at the right ones But there's gonna be oh here they are Look I grabbed some of these These are what it looks like on the ends You just put the keystones on here and there's another part of the deset These are gonna snap into and you can kind of see how like an umbilical cord how each one of these is on there And has a metal conduit on it and a metal conduit is obviously to people because when it's on the floor You know people kick stuff and that's not acceptable And you know we know his it like how many times have you looked under a desk and seen it tore up So they did a really nice job on doing it that way so it's not going to be all messed up. That's interesting. Oh That's cool They have a little phone booth, you know We got away from phone booths And now they have a phone booth or I don't know what it is. It's a silence booth Well, I'm gonna go in here. Oh wow. I don't know if you can hear the difference But there is no ambient outside noise now. I think my camera filters out somewhat, but that's really cool All right, let's carry on. I want one of these now. I'm gonna have to find out what this is called Snap cab it says on the top there. So this is a snap cab All right on to the interesting part where we ran all the wires. So in the other video we talked about how we set up all the Wiring and did all the looming and get everything done to bring it all to the one central place So now all that's obscured everything's hung up. Nothing's laying on ceiling tiles I talked about how we had to put the J hooks in and everything else and now We're button up the details now This requires also us to come back and forth at different times and my crew is actually still here working one because of punching To it's about scheduling all these times one of the things we have to do when we schedule times like this is Coming at night is easier for us because there's no one in our way doing this So they're here during the day getting partial assembled on they let us know where we're at and then we come in and put the Finishing touches if you will on here. So let's go into wiring room and server-com room and go from there Which I'm turned around us to where it is. I think it's over there. All right now What before look like a giant mess is it's still a giant mess But Cory's over here. He's got some of this punched down So I'm gonna kind of look up in that ceiling and show you how we did those cable falls So that it's still bundled up there because some of it's got to come back down But you can see how we have the hooks in there. I can't really get up there to show you where we went over the HVAC and everything else, but you kind of get the idea and you can see how it came around We went over it at a beam level So it wasn't even a factor and then what we did is we come around with these 400 foot 400 pound rated j-hooks And we mounted them to 500 500 pound rated Beam clamps and that's only because that's all you can buy really to hold that much wire up And that basically will support all of that wire and then we doubled them up at the ends where the water fall comes down So that way if one comes loose or anything of the sort It's just not going to be an issue in the future or knock your ceiling down You know, it's just future precautions and you know, basically keeping it up to code Yeah, so that way it's you know, we want to make sure it's extra solid in case they ever add more There's also the split unit behind us. I'd mentioned that in the beginning We put that in this morning. Yeah, well, I just got that in this morning. So Today's a good day to come on here A lot done. Yeah, and once the servers go in here, that's why you need something like a split unit to get Um, well all the cooling that goes on in here Yeah, I've been in com rooms or it's been almost 110 degrees before All right now last time we talked about that underground part and was that pain in the ass? Oh, you know You have to schedule with the suite below you because they're operational They're not in any kind of you know construction phase or anything like that So basically what you're looking at is you got to schedule with these guys to get into their suite and the day they Scheduled a lot of people were going home early. So they didn't want to let us in So they actually had to keep a security guard on staff for an extra couple hours and and he didn't really enjoy being there Yeah, so we had to go down there and get the ceiling tiles out because it was drilled through there And that's just part of it. Uh, that was one of those things I know there was a lot of comments on the last video about well, how exactly do you do that? And it's not There's no You just contact the suite. You're like guess what bad news physical contact, you know, you got to go in there and talk to them Talk to them schedule it make it happen So other than that we're going to walk back into the com room. Cory's actually got a lot of this punched And I've been working at it for about Two days solid now and this is a this is day three starting out from a distance I see it all looks like a mess and you might be able to see slightly There's actually labels on all this. That's how we know where everything gets punched to Actually with one like this because there were so many different kinds of wire and so many different directions We were running we meticulously labeled down to the station Which is cubicle stations down to the room numbers down to underground or above ceiling Wi-Fi tv camera. I mean everything was separately labeled It was very meticulous and it paid off like like 100 You know, I mean it it's just making it no guesswork at all We're actually starting from port number one in the it desk And we work all the way around the world through the whole suite and we'll end up at 189 for data And then TVs and cameras then whaps so I mean it's it's really once it's all on here Everything's going to be exactly organized that way in the rack Where each section is the different section for tv's the wi-fi access points. That's what's absolutely it's all that pre-planning That's the biggest trick to so it looks Messy like a bunch of wires hanging down Every one of these as they were pulled in groups were labeled to figure out where they're coming from And numerous labels too. I can show you right here How we did it is we label each individual wire What it was and then we come back and like this is southwest hall That's a whole additional stuff that we got added and then each one comes down And then where the end of the whip is we have them labeled off into room numbers And then if they went into room numbers if they didn't go into room numbers It's station numbers or door contacts with the electric feed for the door contact Like I said, it was really broken down. You could see here's another wide band with a lot of little bands around it There's some that have up to three bands, but most of them have been punched already and cut away Yeah, so he's he's knocking it out here and getting it done. So yeah, it's looking good That's the kind of the status update on his project. Um I brought my sons. He want to know what I do for a living It's Niagara Falls It's Niagara Falls, man. It's a waterfall to waterfall the stuff That's what they refer to it is. Yeah All right, so I wanted to put a little end cap on the video now that I'm back here at the office And wanted to highlight one thing one This is a little bit of the challenge of doing these wiring projects, you know filming them and Because we're not there continuously until it's done We're there on an as needed basis based on the schedule set by the general contractor When each step needs to be done and what time slot we fit into for which step of the project or is You know the initial part before the ceiling was there putting up All the different support structures and running the wire then coming back after certain drywall people and coming back again After the people who put in all the cubicles like all the furniture assemblers are there But we have to do that in between because the furniture is partially assembled At least it's there and we're going to have to put like I shown Those keystones on that eventually will end up in boxes underneath there for hooking everything up And then the final step will be uh us going back and putting you know Even labels on the furniture to make sure everything matches and lined up again So there's a lot of steps involved in terms of you know making this whole project work It becomes kind of a challenge unless you have time to put a film crew on it And I just don't um for having all my contractors out there to get this done But let me know in the comments below or over on the forums What else you would like to see added to some of these wiring videos But I will admit this is something that I think Cory alluded to but I can concrete up a little bit here the Scope did change now. I mentioned in the how we bid these jobs projects that yes You have to come up with a per drop price This makes it easy because no matter how many clients tell you I think this is all the drops I'll ever need they need more and as the projects, you know got closer to completion They added quite a few more drops that part is really easy The other thing you have to make sure is figuring out what is or is not in scope So a couple things out of scope Originally we were supposed to put these just on the floor And it was changed to now we have to put them into the cubicles no problem something we can do We just have to let them know immediately and this is just having clear communication all the time of the client Yes, we can do that. Yes, there's more labor involved if you'd like us to be the ones putting the little You know biscuit boxes and tapping keystones in instead of On a floor plate but into and feeding them into the Cubicles and the way the structures are set up That's more labor than just running a drop because you have to run the drop Then you're bringing the drop into the cubicle and get around under the desk So some people just leave them at the wall. Sometimes they do have furniture that has built in jacks That means more labor on our part You just have to be upfront with the client and then adjust accordingly The biggest thing is don't surprise them with some bill at the end. Don't just add it on the bill Let them know let them make a decision because maybe they want to plug it in those cells Or maybe they want you to plug it in you always have to make sure who's Going to be doing what especially because it's not like there's one or two once you get up to like these You know 300 drop jobs. That's whatever they need done Especially let's say a hundred of them need to have an extra patch cable or a hundred of them need some extra labor Because they want a label to match what's on the wall to match the cubicle. No problem That's just an extra label But you start multiplying that times 100 now you have a hundred extra labels to make and everything has a time Time is money in this and well any business and those are things you have to bill for But uh, like I said leave comments below about other things you'd like to see on here I don't know if I'm be able to film any of the actual racking of the servers and migrating for their From their old location to this location That's a little bit trickier because by then there'll be people in the office and filming with a bunch of people in office A little bit difficult versus when we're they're filming when we're just doing it for you know new construction Well, that's just wandering around new construction building and well, there's no one else there So it makes a lot easier, which is also why we like working after hours. We're not tripping over anyone else But like I said, thanks and leave comments concerns over in the forums I always like to have a discussion and what more you like to see on this. Thanks Yeah, it's a it's a it's a this is where we put kids that are You gotta put the computer in here this thing hear me.
