Managed Services
Construction and technology, under one roof.
Most GCs hand off the technology scope. We do it ourselves. That means tighter coordination, fewer change orders, and one accountable team from demo through commissioning.
Tenant Improvements
Full build-outs for commercial spaces — from demolition through finish. We self-perform and coordinate every trade.
Bathroom & Plumbing Renovations
Commercial bathrooms, ADA upgrades, and plumbing renovations designed and built to code.
Drywall & Framing
Metal stud framing, drywall, taping, and finish work — self-performed, not subcontracted.
Selective Demolition
Careful, coordinated demo that protects what stays. Material salvage and responsible disposal included.
Commercial Technology Design
Coordinated low-voltage design aligned with your architectural drawings — before drywall, not after.
Lighting Control Systems
Scene-based lighting design for conference rooms, lobbies, retail, and hospitality environments.
Enterprise Networking
High-density Wi-Fi, structured cabling, and IT infrastructure designed for commercial scale.
Conference Rooms
End-to-end AV design, display systems, video conferencing, and room control for productive meetings.
Digital Signage
Content-managed display networks for lobbies, wayfinding, retail, and corporate communications.
Access Control
Credential-based access systems integrated with security cameras and building management.
Commercial Audio
Distributed audio for corporate, hospitality, retail, and house of worship environments.
Building Automation
HVAC controls, occupancy sensing, and energy management that reduce operating costs.
Structured Cabling
Cat6A, fiber, and low-voltage infrastructure installed to commercial standards and labeled for life.
IT Infrastructure
Server rooms, network closets, and equipment racks built to support enterprise operations.
Security Integration
IP cameras, video management software, and intrusion systems coordinated with access control.
Managed Support
Post-occupancy support contracts that keep your systems updated, monitored, and performing.

Residential Projects
“Ascendesign coordinated with our architect before a single wall went up. We had zero RFIs related to low-voltage on the entire project.”
Project Manager
Commercial Development Firm
“Every drawing they submitted was clean, detailed, and coordinated with our electrical plans. That level of professionalism is rare in this industry.”
Principal
Interior Design Studio
“They showed up to our OAC meetings, submitted on time, and the commissioning went smoothly. That's all I ask.”
Owner's Representative
Healthcare Facility Group
We think like a design partner,
not an installer.
Architects and interior designers keep hiring us because we speak their language, submit complete drawings, and never show up with surprises. Here's what that looks like in practice.

We Coordinate Before Drywall
Every low-voltage system is coordinated with the structural, electrical, and mechanical trades before rough-in — not after. That means your walls close on schedule.
We Provide Reflected Ceiling Plans
We submit coordinated reflected ceiling plans showing speaker locations, lighting zones, camera positions, and device placement — exactly what designers need.
We Produce Device Elevations
Detailed device elevations show touch panel locations, outlet heights, rack placements, and millwork cutouts — submitted early enough to inform your finish schedule.
We Coordinate With Millwork
AV equipment, touch panels, and rack furniture are coordinated with your millwork shop drawings before fabrication starts. No field surprises.
We Reduce RFIs
Because our drawings are detailed and our coordination happens early, we generate far fewer RFIs than typical low-voltage contractors — saving time for everyone.
We Simplify Commissioning
Our systems are pre-programmed and tested before site commissioning. We walk every room with the owner and leave with a signed punch list — not a punchlist that takes months.
Delivered on schedule. Supported after occupancy.
Every project follows the same five-phase process — designed to fit into your construction workflow without creating work for your team.
Design
We review your drawings, coordinate with your design team, and produce complete low-voltage drawings before rough-in.
Engineering
System design, rack layouts, network diagrams, and device schedules — submitted to your specs.
Installation
Self-performed by our field team. Coordinated with electrical, HVAC, and other trades to stay ahead of drywall.
Commissioning
Pre-tested before we arrive. We walk every room with the owner and close the punch list on schedule.
Support
Managed support contracts keep your systems monitored, updated, and performing — with a team that picks up the phone.
Clients hire people, not companies.
You'll know who's running your project — and they'll be reachable. We're structured around accountability, not org charts.

We build like owners.
Ascendesign is a licensed commercial general contractor — we build bathrooms, hang drywall, and run the full project. We also design and install every technology system in the building. We've sat on the owner's side of the table — watching budgets slip, timelines stretch, and contractors go silent.
We built Ascendesign to be the contractor we always wished we had. Every decision is filtered through one question: would we accept this if it were our project?
One Point of Responsibility
We don't hide behind subcontractors. One team, one contract, one throat to choke.
Coordinated for Scalability
Systems designed to grow with your building — not maxed out on day one.
Delivered on Schedule
We show up to OAC meetings, submit on time, and close our punch list.
Supported After Occupancy
We don't disappear after closeout. Managed support is built into every engagement.
