Major projects · 2,000+ weekly attendance

Built for rooms of thousands, and the campuses behind them.

New sanctuaries, full renovations and multi-campus broadcast programs. Fairview brings a dedicated engineering team, a single accountable lead and a process built to keep services running while the work gets done.

How a major project runs

One plan, one team, one accountable lead.

Large installs fail at the handoffs between trades, vendors and calendars. We run the whole system as one project, from the first survey to the first full service.

  1. 01

    Assess & define

    A Production Assessment of every room, feed and control position, then a written program your leadership can approve.

  2. 02

    Design & engineer

    System design, drawings and specifications coordinated with your architect, engineers and builder.

  3. 03

    Build in phases

    Installation sequenced around your services and calendar, with clear milestones and no surprise outages.

  4. 04

    Commission & hand over

    Every path tested and tuned, documentation delivered, and your staff and volunteers trained on the finished system.

Engineering deliverables

Drawn, documented and buildable.

Every major project produces the documents your builders, inspectors and future staff need.

  • System design. Audio, lighting, video, LED and broadcast designed as one system, with signal flow and functional diagrams.
  • Infrastructure. Power, data, conduit, and rack and control-room layouts coordinated with your design team.
  • Rigging and structure. Load and rigging plans prepared with licensed structural and construction partners.
  • Network. Audio, video and control networks designed for reliability and campus distribution.
  • Specifications and budgets. Equipment schedules and phased budgets your leadership can approve with confidence.
  • As-built documentation. Drawings, settings and run books that stay with the building.

The team

Specialists for every system in the room.

Major projects are staffed with a dedicated engineer for each discipline, led by Fairview, so decisions don't wait on a generalist.

Lighting & video lead

Leads the project, owns the design and is your single point of contact.

Audio engineer

Loudspeaker design, coverage modeling, consoles, monitoring and tuning.

Video engineer

Cameras, routing, IMAG, LED processing and broadcast video.

Streaming & IT engineer

Encoding, networks, campus feeds and platform delivery.

Construction partner

Licensed contractors for structure, power and rigging.

Ways to engage
