Why did we start Vector Sketch

Have you ever been given a piece of advice that's stuck with you? Mine was 'find something you like and do it'. That's the reason for Vector Sketch, over my career in the Audio Visual industry, starting as an installer to now as an independent consultant. I've seen a lot of changes some good and some bad. I've worked on multi-million dollar projects to the penny pinched ones, and the biggest stumbling block I've worked with is documentation. It's accuracy, its availability, the time involved to create it and maintain it are all important factors on whether a job is completed on time and within budget.

I wanted to create a company that allowed me to grow myself and grow this industry. I honestly believe that documentation can offer a system integrator, consultant, or manufacturer a real revenue stream. I also believe that documentation can save money in any stage of a project. I’ve always looked at the bigger picture with an installation. Not only do the nuts ‘n’ bolts matter but the final aesthetics. Wouldn’t it be great to see potential problems before they happen? Wouldn’t it be great to have all the trades speaking the same language? In every project I’ve been involved with I’ve continually seen the ‘great disconnect’ between ‘us’ the AV industry and the architects, electricians, and other involved trades. It’s always frustrated me and I can bet it’s frustrated you to. It’s led to cost over runs, work being done as sloppily as possible, wrong, or not being done at all.

That’s why Vector Sketch was started, to provide audio visual companies resources that can help them make and save money. Communicate more effectively with trades, give your installation crews more accurate tools and assets to do their jobs faster and better.

Vector Sketch was also started to help long standing AV companies maintain their existing facilities To work with Industry leaders and associations to create standards.
