Meeting and training room with projector, screen, display, and acoustic ceiling — a GVM AV system project

AV Consulting Services · Jakarta & All of Indonesia

AV Consultant
Audio Visual System Consulting

GVM designs your audio visual system from your requirements and on-site data — not from an equipment catalogue. The result is a measured, brand-neutral design, specification, and cost estimate ready for tender.

Solutions That Start From Your Needs

An AV consultant designs the audio visual system for a space — defining what is needed, why it is needed, and what it will cost — before procurement and installation begin.

We work from your side of the table: how many people use the room, what its acoustics are like, which conferencing platform you have standardised on, and how the space is operated day to day. Only then is the specification written — not the other way around.

The need

Remote participants struggle to hear and see clearly

GVM solution

Hybrid Meeting Rooms

Microphone and camera positions are calculated from the table layout, then matched to your standard platform — Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, or BYOD.

The need

Sound in large rooms is uneven and hard to understand

GVM solution

Auditoriums & Multipurpose Halls

Speaker coverage and reverberation are simulated so every seat receives an equivalent sound level and speech clarity.

The need

Dozens of rooms, each with different equipment

GVM solution

Multi-Room Standardisation

Design templates per room type — huddle, meeting, boardroom — so procurement, operation, and maintenance become uniform.

The need

The budget must be transparent and tenderable

GVM solution

Neutral Specifications & Budget

Brand-neutral specifications with technical justification per item, so vendor bids can be compared like for like.

The need

The control room must run 24/7 without interruption

GVM solution

Command Centres & Control Rooms

Video wall, KVM, and redundant signal path design, complete with operator desk ergonomics and calculated viewing angles.

The need

The system must be ready to grow for years to come

GVM solution

Future-Ready Infrastructure

AV over IP architecture, rack capacity, and spare cable routes are planned from day one, so adding rooms never means tearing things out.

Industries That Use AV Consulting

Every sector has different priorities — from procurement processes to how rooms are used. Our designs adapt to that context.

Corporate

Boardrooms, hybrid meeting rooms, town halls, and room standards for head offices and branches.

Government

Council chambers, command centres, and auditoriums with specifications that fit government procurement.

Hotel / Villa / Apartment

Ballrooms, meeting rooms, and zoned background music that staff can operate with ease.

School / University

Hybrid classrooms, lecture capture, laboratories, and campus halls.

House of Worship

Clear sound reinforcement for highly reverberant spaces, including live-streamed services.

Restaurant / Bar / Cafe

Zoned background music, per-area volume control, and displays that blend into the interior.

Retail

Digital signage, in-store audio, and scheduled content managed centrally.

Stadium

High-power PA, LED screens, and voice evacuation systems for open-air venues.

Technology to Measure, Not Guess

Every recommendation starts from data. These are the tools and methods we use to map room conditions and user requirements.

User Workshops & Surveys

Stakeholder interviews and user questionnaires to map room usage patterns, meeting platforms, and budget priorities.

  • Usage patterns
  • Capacity
  • Platform

Room Acoustic Measurement

Sound level meters and measurement microphones capture background noise and reverberation time before design begins.

  • RT60
  • dB(A)
  • Noise Criteria

Sound Coverage Simulation

3D modelling of loudspeaker dispersion to predict sound level uniformity and speech intelligibility at every position.

  • SPL coverage
  • STI

Screen Size & Sightline Calculation

Room dimensions are laser-measured, then screen size is calculated from the farthest viewer and the type of content shown.

  • Screen size
  • Viewing distance
  • Viewing angle

Light Measurement

Lux meters measure ambient light so display or projector brightness is chosen to keep the image in contrast.

  • Lux
  • Contrast
  • Nits

AV over IP Network Audit

Checks on bandwidth, multicast support, PoE budget, and VLAN segmentation across your existing network infrastructure.

  • Bandwidth
  • Multicast
  • PoE
  • VLAN

The Plan & Design Flow

Two phases, six steps — each step produces a document you can review before we go any further.

Plan

Understanding your needs and site conditions

  1. Briefing & Requirements Workshop

    We listen first: how the space will be used, how many people, your internal standards, and your budget and timeline targets.

    OutputDesign brief

  2. Site Survey & Measurement

    Our engineers visit the site to measure dimensions, acoustics, lighting, electrical provision, and network readiness.

    OutputSurvey report & measurement data

  3. Analysis & System Concept

    Site data is turned into a system concept with several solution tiers and their estimated costs.

    OutputDesign concept & budget options

Design

Turning data into a tender-ready design

  1. Detailed Design

    Single line diagrams, signal flow schematics, device layouts, and rack elevations are produced.

    OutputWorking drawings & signal flow

  2. Specification & Cost Estimate

    Brand-neutral specifications with technical justification, complete with cost estimate and indicative schedule.

    OutputTechnical specification & budget

  3. Handover & Tender Support

    The design is finalised with your team, then we support you through the technical evaluation of vendor bids.

    OutputTender documents & vendor evaluation

Why Choose GVM?

Answers to the questions we hear most often before a consulting project begins.

  • Brand NeutralSpecifications are driven by what the room needs, not by stock we happen to want to move.
  • Certified EngineersA team certified in Q-SYS, iSEMC Professional Engineer, and NAV Pro for IP-based AV systems.
  • Grounded in Site RealityOur designs come out of 100+ projects that were actually built, so they are realistic to execute.
  • Audit-Ready DocumentsDocument formats follow the requirements of corporate and government procurement.

Because our designs come from the field. Since 2019 the GVM team has designed and installed more than 100 AV & IT systems, backed by engineers certified in Q-SYS, iSEMC Professional Engineer, and NAV Pro. Our recommendations are based on measured data, brand-neutral, realistic to execute, and delivered in audit-ready document formats.

No. We write specifications around performance and function — not one manufacturer’s product codes — so several equivalent brands can meet them. If your organisation already has an internal brand standard, the design will follow it.

An AV consultant designs the system: analysing requirements, calculating acoustics, producing signal flow schematics, equipment specifications, and cost estimates. A system integrator then turns that design into a working system — procurement, device integration, control programming, and commissioning. GVM does both, but consulting can also be engaged on its own if you want a genuinely open tender process.

Yes. Many corporate and government clients engage GVM purely as design consultant and then tender the implementation openly. The design documents, specifications, and cost estimates we hand over are written brand-neutral so any vendor can bid against them.

For a single meeting room, typically 1–2 weeks from the site survey. Multi-room projects such as a head office or campus take 3–6 weeks, while auditoriums and control rooms with specialised acoustic requirements can take 6–8 weeks. The final duration also depends on how quickly your team reviews each stage.

Consulting fees are based on scope and the number of rooms, typically ranging from 5–10% of the equipment investment value. Where GVM is also entrusted with implementation, the consulting fee can be credited back into the contract value. We issue a written quotation once the scope is clear.

Yes. Our office is in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta, but our survey team serves all of Indonesia — including Surabaya, Bandung, Bali, Medan, and other major cities. Survey travel costs are listed separately and transparently in the quotation.
