Physical therapy practice owner with a floor plan and a cabling technician in an unfinished treatment suite

ServicesBusiness stories

Three vendors are building out a new suite and none is coordinating

A physical therapy practice gets one point of technical coordination for internet, phones and cabling at a new location.

The business situation.

Practice owners and managers opening, moving or renovating a space, or comparing technology vendors for a project

A physical therapy practice is fitting out a second treatment suite. The internet provider, the phone vendor and the cabling contractor each quote separately, each assumes someone else is coordinating, and the owner has not worked out what must be installed before the opening date. A missed cable run behind a finished wall would be costly to fix.

An illustrative business situation, not a customer case study.

How we can help.

Bladesystems defines the project scope and owner, translates the requirements for each vendor and sequences the installation dates against the construction schedule. We review the quotes with you and prepare an opening-day checklist so nothing is left to assumption.

  • Project scope and ownership
  • Vendor representation
  • Purchasing and implementation planning

What changes in practice.

The owner has a schedule that shows each vendor's responsibilities and the decisions needed before the next trade arrives. The opening-day checklist gives the team a concrete way to test the finished rooms and record anything still outstanding.

The owner phones one vendor, hangs up and picks up another quote, unsure which installation date depends on which.

Three quotes

Every vendor assumes someone else is coordinating

The consultant marks each room on the floor plan with its phone, workstation and network needs and points at the wall where a cable run is still missing.

The walkthrough

Needs, vendors and dates on one plan

The owner ticks off a line, then hands the clipboard to the front-desk lead to start testing each room's connection.

Opening-day checklist

A checklist to test every room

Discuss your next project.

Gather the floor plan, the current vendor quotes and your target opening date, and list the rooms that need phones, workstations and a network connection.

We coordinate and advise on vendors and purchases; contracts and final purchasing decisions remain yours, and vendor schedules are outside our control.
