How it works
Conference and boardroom projects typically combine a display or projector, a video-conferencing codec or camera, control, and signal and network cabling back to a rack — each piece needs to be reachable and serviceable after the room is finished, not just installed and closed up. Digital signage for retail, restaurant menu boards and reception displays is driven by player placement, network connectivity and mounting rather than by the content itself, which is usually managed separately by the client or their signage provider. CIP installs the physical infrastructure — mounts, cable runs, rack equipment and signal paths — and commissions the system before handover, coordinating with the AV integrator or equipment supplier where one is already involved.
Where this applies
- Boardrooms and conference rooms
- Retail and restaurant digital signage
- Reception and lobby displays
- Shared and multi-tenant facilities
Is every AV system a Division 27 system?
No. Specifications can allocate AV, lighting and controls differently. CIP reviews the applicable sections and trade interfaces rather than treating every AV component as Division 27.
Division 27 communications and contractor project supportFrequently asked questions
What does a commercial AV installation typically include?
Displays or projectors, audio, video-conferencing or control equipment, and the cable and rack infrastructure connecting them. Scope is confirmed against the room layout and equipment schedule.
Does CIP install digital signage and menu boards?
Yes. CIP installs the physical infrastructure — mounts, power and network cabling and players — for retail, restaurant and reception signage; content management is typically handled separately by the client.
Can CIP wire a boardroom for video conferencing?
Yes. This includes display, camera/codec, audio and network cabling coordinated with the room layout and control requirements.
Is AV work automatically part of Division 27?
No. Specifications allocate AV, lighting and controls differently by project. CIP reviews which sections apply rather than assuming every AV component is Division 27.
Do you commission and test AV systems after installation?
Yes, applicable commissioning and testing are part of the agreed scope before handover.
Can CIP work from an AV integrator’s drawings or equipment package?
Yes. Where an AV integrator or equipment supplier is already involved, CIP coordinates the physical installation against their package and interfaces.
