Field work
We design the plans and the part list. You install with the people who know the building — or with an integrator you choose or we introduce.
Consulting is the product. Orbit does not send a truck crew. Hanging cameras, pulling cable, and terminating door hardware belongs to your facilities team, maintenance department, IT, electrician, locksmith, preferred integrator, or a certified integrator we introduce.
The package is built for that handoff: drawings, orderable SKUs, and notes an installer can execute. Basic Design stops after the review walkthrough — then you run install yourself. If you want full handholding from the first conversation through commissioning — working with your project management team, facilities, maintenance, IT, and whoever else is on the job — that is Full Support.
Orderable SKUs from CDW, your rep, or direct — network, cameras, site links, G3 Intercom, readers, and hubs. No dealer-only gatekeeping the buy.
Hand the package to facilities, maintenance, IT, your electrician or locksmith, or your preferred integrator. Or ask us to introduce a certified crew. Full Support coordinates whoever is on site.
Full Support: handholding from design through commissioning with your project team and trades. Basic Design: one review walkthrough, then you own install.
You decide who hangs the gear. Facilities, maintenance, IT, your electrician, a locksmith, or a system integrator — whoever can assist on site. We write power, conduit, rack, VLAN, and door notes so that crew can execute. Tell us who is on the job; we design to them.
Most owners already have help. Facilities and maintenance know the building. IT owns the switch stack. The electrician pulls power and low voltage. A locksmith often owns the door hardware. We talk the plans through with those roles so the part list matches what they will install.
If you have a preferred system integrator, we design for them and, on Full Support, coordinate through them. If you need someone, we help find a certified integrator who can take the package. Bring what to ask your integrator before you sign. The drawings stay the same; the difference is who shows up with the ladder.
Orbit stays on the design side of the finish line. Full Support is beginning-to-end handholding — quoting help, order sequencing, coordination with your project managers and trades, and availability through commissioning until the system works as designed. Basic Design is drawings, part list, and one review walkthrough — then install is yours.
Access jobs usually follow a simple pattern: order from the bill of materials, hire local labor, commission against the door schedule. Integrator introductions stay available when you want a crew that does readers, strikes, and G3 Intercom every week.

Send the site and who you have for install — facilities, maintenance, electrician, preferred integrator, or none yet. If it is a design job first, we will say so. If you need a local certified crew, we will help make that introduction.
